It's the most startling public turnaround since Bob Dylan's "Slow Train Coming" announced that he'd been born again.Startling if genuine, pathetic if feigned. Time will tell.

"A. N. Roquelaureof soft-core S&M encounters,"
I've read the sleeping Beauty books she wrote. They are not in any way shape or form "soft core."

I wonder how many times she will use the word 'preternatural' in this one. In her other books the words appears on average every other page.
Anyways, all the best to her.

Wrtiing fiction about the life of Christ is
not IMO writing
for Christ.
Especially if she is saying He killed people then brought them back to life, or made clay pigeons come to life etc.

I have several of her vampire novels. Extremely well written, but I wonder how good this one is going to be? I didn't realize that she had gone through all that in the last few years, and maybe this is for real.

"Preternatural" is a GREAT word.

I also thought the quality of the Vampire novels really declined over the last few years.

It may or may not be a turn-around. Let's see the substance of her imaginary narration...

This ought to be good. Here's an excerpt from Rice in USAToday about Hurricane Katrina:
"But to my country I want to say this: During this crisis you failed us. You looked down on us; you dismissed our victims; you dismissed us," Rice wrote. "You want our Jazz Fest, you want our Mardi Gras, you want our cooking and our music," she continued. "Then when you saw us in real trouble, when you saw a tiny minority preying on the weak among us, you called us 'Sin City,' and turned your backs."

I stopped reading Rice after Interview. Up to then she had something significant to contribute, about the marginal and the alienated among us. After that she was making sausage.
To: debg
And how many millions (billions!) have been donated to Katrina relief (not counting Federal govt spending) by the Americans that "failed" her beloved NO?
To: churchillbuff
Hey, if Alice Cooper can become a Christian, somebody like Anne Rice shouldn't be that big a surprise.

You beat me to it. I was going to post a link to her comments about the response to Katrina and say she should keep her mouth shut and stick to just writing for the Lord.
