• [17] However, according to the authorized biography Prism of the Night, by Katherine Ramsland, Rice’s father was the source of his daughter’s birth name: “Thinking back to
  the days when his own name had been associated with girls, and perhaps in an effort to give it away, Howard named the little girl Howard Allen Frances O’Brien.

• [69] While promoting her book Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt in October 2005, Rice announced in Newsweek that she would now use her life and talent of writing to glorify her
  belief in God, but she did not renounce her earlier works, citing a connection in her earlier work with the state of her spiritual life.

• [2] She said that Christ is still central to her life, but not in the way He is presented by organized religion, in a July 28, 2014 Facebook post.

• “[43] Interview with the Vampire[edit] In 1973, while still grieving the loss of her daughter (1966–1972), Rice took a previously written short story and turned it into her
  first novel, the bestselling Interview with the Vampire.

• [14] About her male given names, Rice said: Well, my birth name is Howard Allen because apparently my mother thought it was a good idea to name me Howard.

• The work was transformed from a BDSM-themed love story into a police comedy, and was widely considered a box-office failure, receiving near-universal negative reviews.

• [98] On November 8, 2014, during an interview with her long-time editor, Victoria Wilson, at the Chicago Humanities Festival, Rice revealed that filming had finished on the
  movie and was going into post-production.

• [35][36] Rice’s son Christopher was born in Berkeley, California, in 1978;[37] he became a best-selling author in his own right, publishing his first novel at the age of 22.

• [58][88] In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Rice elaborated on her view regarding being a member of a Christian church: “I feel much more morally comfortable walking
  away from organized religion.

• [23] Other works[edit] Following the publication of Interview with the Vampire, while living in California, Rice wrote two historical novels, The Feast of All Saints and Cry
  to Heaven, along with three erotic novels (The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty’s Punishment, and Beauty’s Release) under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure, and two more under the pseudonym Anne Rampling (Exit to Eden and Belinda).

• [72] She cited living alone since the death of her husband and her son moving to California as the reasons for her move.

• I wrote many novels that without my being aware that they reflected my quest for meaning in a world without God.

• “[60] Personal life Back to New Orleans and Catholicism[edit] In June 1988, following the success of The Vampire Lestat and with The Queen of the Damned about to be published,
  the Rices purchased a second home in New Orleans, the Brevard–Rice House, built in 1857 for Albert Hamilton Brevard.

• Rice later described having a prophetic dream—months before Michele became ill—that her daughter was dying from “something wrong with her blood.”

  in opposition to such fiction based on The Vampire Chronicles, releasing a statement on April 7, 2000, that disallowed all such efforts, citing copyright issues.

• “[18] Rice became “Anne” on her first day of school, when a nun asked her what her name was.

• [12] Rice spent most of her youth in New Orleans, which forms the backdrop against which many of her works are set.

• And she had the idea that naming a woman Howard was going to give that woman an unusual advantage in the world.

• [14][15] Allen, who began working as a domestic shortly after separating from her alcoholic husband, was an important early influence in Rice’s life, keeping the family and
  household together as Rice’s mother sank deeper into alcoholism.

  Irish Catholic descent, Howard O’Brien and Katherine “Kay” Allen O’Brien.

• She also wrote the first two books in her Songs of the Seraphim series, Angel Time and Of Love and Evil, and her memoir Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession.

• [22] The novel was a main selection of the Literary Guild of America for 1988,[56] and reached the #1 spot on The New York Times Best Seller list, staying on the list for
  more than four months.

• [101] However, in November 2016, when Universal Pictures did not renew the contract, the film and television rights reverted to Rice, who began developing The Vampire Chronicles
  into a television series with her son, Christopher.

• Born in New Orleans, Rice spent much of her early life in the city before moving to Texas, and later to San Francisco.

• Rice said that she and her son, author Christopher Rice, would be developing and executive producing a potential television series based on the novels.

• [108][109] Four parts of Anne Rice’s story treatment for the series were published in 1999 as a bonus in the comic book series called Anne Rice’s Tale of the Body Thief.

• Of this period, Rice says, “What you see when you’re in that state is every single flaw in our hygiene and you can’t control it and you go crazy.

• “[58] Rice’s writings have also been identified as having had a major impact on later developments within the genre of vampire fiction.

• [70] In her memoir Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession, Rice stated: In the moment of surrender, I let go of all the theological or social questions which had kept
  me from [God] for countless years.

• [67] In the Author’s Note from Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, Rice states: I had experienced an old-fashioned, strict Roman Catholic childhood in the 1940s and 1950s … we
  attended daily Mass and Communion in an enormous and magnificently decorated church…. Stained-glass windows, the Latin Mass, the detailed answers to complex questions on good and evil—these things were imprinted on my soul forever….

• [49] Rice appeared on an episode of The Real World: New Orleans that aired in 2000.

• Stan took a leave of absence from his teaching, and together they moved to New Orleans.

• Some time later, Anne received a special delivery letter from Stan Rice asking her to marry him.

• [28] Soon after, she moved to San Francisco and stayed with the family of a friend until she found work as an insurance claims processor.

• [48][52] On March 9, 2014, Rice announced on her son Christopher’s radio show, The Dinner Party with Christopher Rice and Eric Shaw Quinn, that she had completed another book
  in the Vampire Chronicles, titled, Prince Lestat,[53] a “true sequel” to Queen of the Damned.

• [55] Reception and analysis Following its debut in 1976, Interview with the Vampire received many negative reviews from critics, causing Rice to retreat temporarily from the
  supernatural genre.

• From that day on, everyone she knew addressed her as “Anne”,[19][20] and her name was legally changed in 1947.

• “I got upset about 20 years ago because I thought it would block me,” she said.

• [115] As of early 2018, Bryan Fuller was involved with the creation of a potential TV series based on the novels.

• [30] “I’m a totally conservative person,” she later told The New York Times, “In the middle of Haight-Ashbury in the 1960s, I was typing away while everybody was dropping
  acid and smoking grass.

• [48] Shortly after her June 1988 return to New Orleans, Rice penned The Witching Hour as an expression of her joy at coming home.

• [75][76] California[edit] After leaving New Orleans, Rice first settled in La Jolla, California, describing the weather there as “like heaven” in November 2005.

• [57] “Rice turns vampire conventions inside out,” wrote Susan Ferraro of The New York Times.

• She began her professional writing career with the publication of Interview with the Vampire (1976), while living in California, and began writing sequels to the novel in
  the 1980s.

• [9] On the subject of the couple’s first meeting, Rice recalled, “My father wrote her a formal letter inviting her to lunch which I hand-delivered to her house …

• Set in New York City, it followed angels in human form battling against evil.

• [13] She and her family lived in the rented home of her maternal grandmother, Alice Allen, known as “Mamma Allen,” at 2301 St. Charles Avenue in the Irish Channel, which Rice
  said was widely considered a “Catholic Ghetto”.

• [1] Rice was confirmed in the Catholic Church when she was twelve years old and took the full name Howard Allen Frances Alphonsus Liguori O’Brien,[clarification needed] adding
  the names of a saint and of an aunt, who was a nun.

• [48] After moving to Rancho Mirage, California in 2006,[51] Rice wrote a second volume Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana, published in March 2008, and was working on a third
  Christ the Lord: Kingdom of Heaven in November 2008.

• [97] A film adaptation of Christ the Lord was reported to be in the early stages of development in February 2012.

• “I’ll no longer be a citizen of New Orleans in the true sense.

• [25] Rice first met her future husband, Stan Rice, in a journalism class while they were both students at Richardson High School.

• [50] Rice called Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, published in 2005, the beginning of a series chronicling the life of Jesus.

• “Because Rice identifies with the vampire instead of the victim (reversing the usual focus), the horror for the reader springs from the realization of the monster within the
  self.

• “[57] On the subject, Rice herself commented, “From the beginning, I’ve had gay fans, and gay readers who felt that my works involved a sustained gay allegory …

• “[9] In 1958, when Rice was sixteen, her father moved the family to north Texas, purchasing their first home in Richardson.

• [71] Leaving New Orleans[edit] Rice announced that she had made plans to leave New Orleans on her website on January 18, 2004.

• In 2005, Newsweek reported, “[Rice] came close to death last year, when she had surgery for an intestinal blockage, and also back in 1998, when she went into a sudden diabetic
  coma; that same year she returned to the Roman Catholic Church, which she’d left at 18.

• In the mid-2000s, following a publicized return to Catholicism, Rice published the novels Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt and Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana, fictionalized
  accounts of certain incidents in the life of Jesus.

• [2] Rice’s books have sold over 100 million copies, making her one of the best-selling authors of modern times.

• She repeatedly returned to King’s Firestarter for inspiration, saying “I study the novel Firestarter whenever I’m blocked.

• They married on October 14, 1961, in Denton, Texas, soon after she turned twenty years old, and when he was just weeks from his nineteenth birthday.

• Within months, they decided to make it their permanent home.

• [110][111][112][113] In November 2016, Rice announced on Facebook that the rights to her novels were reverted to her despite earlier plans for other adaptations.

• [22] Similarly, a reviewer writing for The Boston Globe observed that the vampires of her novels represent “the walking alienated, those of us who, by choice or not, dwell
  on the fringe.

• [136][better source needed] She subsequently requested that FanFiction.Net remove stories featuring her characters.

• “[89] Rice participated in the “I Am Second” project in 2011 with a short documentary about her spiritual journey.

• Soon after, they began taking night courses at University of San Francisco, an all-male Jesuit school that allowed women to take night courses.

• In October 1974, Seidel sold the publishing rights to Interview with the Vampire to Alfred A. Knopf for a $12,000 advance of the hardcover rights, at a time when most new
  authors were receiving $2,000 advances.

• “However, it’s been very easy to avoid reading any, so live and let live.

• [107] Earth Angels was a presentation pilot written by Rice, produced by Imagine Television and 20th Century Fox Television, and picked up by NBC.

• [56] Author William Patrick Day comments that her writing is often “long, convoluted, and imprecise”.
