About the Author
One of America's most read and celebrated authors, Anne Rice is known for weaving the visible and supernatural worlds together in epic stories that both entertain and challenge readers. Her books are rich tapestries of history, belief, philosophy, religion, and compelling characters that examine and extend our physical world beyond the limits we perceive. Anne has written under three names: her own, Anne Rampling, and A. N. Roquelaure. Under her own name, she has written The Vampire Chronicles series, The Mayfair Witches, the New Tales of the Vampires series, and numerous single novels, most recently CHRIST THE LORD. Under Anne Rampling, she has published two works: EXIT TO EDEN, and BELINDA. Under A. N. Roquelaure, Anne published the Beauty Series. Anne lives and works in California. Anne's life experiences and intellectual inquisitiveness provide her with constant inspiration for her work.
