Signing off, guys, from Miami. What a shock to leave cold, wintry, Toronto and arrive to this warm, balmy air. No wonder vampires love this town. So beautiful, so laid back, so lovely. ---Well, Monday I will be at the Miami Book Fair with my beloved editor, Victoria Wilson: An Evening With Anne Rice Monday, Nov. 17, 8:00 p.m., Chapman Conference Center (Building 3, 2nd Floor, Room 3210) There are other bestselling authors, but few can legitimately claim that they reinvented a literary genre. By blending the supernatural with the gothic, Anne Rice’s first novel, Interview with the Vampire, did just that. The Vampire Chronicles created both a cult following and great mainstream success. Rice is the author of over thirty books, ranging in topics and genres from religion to erotica. Collectively, her books have sold nearly 100 million copies, making her one of the most widely read authors in modern history. In her latest novel, Prince Lestat: The Vampire Chronicles (Knopf; $28.95), Rice once again summons up the irresistible spirit-world of the undead, including the dazzling, dangerous rebel-outlaw — the great hope of the undead — Prince Lestat. Channel your inner Lestat and meet Anne Rice! Come dressed in your best vampire outfit and post a selfie before her presentation (#MBFILestat) for a chance to win a bookstore gift certificate and a photo with the author. The more fangs, the better!
