Part of our ongoing interview questions with Anne Rice. Anne Rice appears at Live Talks Los Angeles on January 6 at Zipper Hall at The Colburn School on January 6. Tell your friends and help us support the West Hollywood Public Library. From their site:
“As the City of West Hollywood celebrates its 25th anniversary, we are creating a new modern-day town hall with the construction of LibraryPark. This major new civic centerpiece and cultural landmark will serve our community now and for generations to come. With the support of people like you and all our community members, we are creating a library and park that will reflect West Hollywood’s unique identity and provide much needed resources.”
In today’s question, we ask Anne Rice if writing can be taught? Tomorrow, if she has a favorite ‘library moment.’ Enjoy the video…..

Here are a couple reviews for Ann Rice’s new book, Of Love and Evil, in the Los Angeles Times and also from ABC News is an AP review. Here’s a blurb from that:
More than 30 years after penning the now-classic “Interview With a Vampire,” best-selling author Anne Rice retains her knack for spinning an intoxicating yarn. Her latest, “Of Love and Evil,” the second book in her “Songs of the Seraphim” series, begins with the poetic: “I dreamed a dream of angels. I saw them and I heard them in a great and endless galactic night.” From the opening lines and throughout the book, it’s classic and elegant Rice — who seemingly remains at the height of her talent……..The story follows the saga of former government assassin Toby O’Dare and the angel Malchiah as they travel back to 15th-century Rome to unravel the mystery of a poisoning and to save a family from itself.
