Women’s History Month’s Feature: Anne Rice, Horror Fiction, Christian Literature, and Erotic Literature Author

Hello book lovers! In celebration of Women’s History Month, I would like to present to you, best-selling horror fiction, Christian literature and erotic literature author, Anne Rice. She has written over thirty novels. However, she is best known for her horror fiction novel series – The Vampire Chronicles and The Lives of the Mayfair Witches. She has won the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement Award (2003) as well as the World Horror Convention Grand Master Award (1994).

Some of her books have been adapted and made into movies and miniseries. My favorites being Interview with the Vampire and The Queen of the Damned. In 2020, AMC Networks acquired the rights to Rice’s major book series: The Vampire Chronicles and The Lives of the Mayfair Witches. This acquisition totals 18 titles which have sold more than 150 million copies. I look forward to seeing what projects AMC develops.

WRITING TIP: When writing horror fiction remember to tap into the fear factor whether it is psychological, gut wrenching, chilling settings or all out dread with high stakes, interesting characters, and a good storyline.

I enjoy writing romantic mystery fiction. The idea for this particular novel just seemed to evolve organically from my imagination.
