So, further to my Anne Rice booksigning post, this little lady was there, too (that’s not her mother in the pic, but that woman had a very nice set of fangs). Akasha is 2 yrs old, and SHE REALLY LIVES UP TO THE NAME. I should’ve gotten a picture with her… I made friends with her mom so maybe there will be some day… but u have to believe me that I was holding Akasha, carrying her through the streets of NY (with her parents) and she was giving me these little smooches! It was very adorable. 

Anne Rice did not get to hold her, as Akasha was feeling kinda cranky after having to behave throughout the Q&A before the booksigning. Oh well! Anne’s loss. I’m sure she’s met other Akashas.

Overheard at Prince Lestat Booksigning of 10/28/14 (1/?)

Someone asked AR:

“Anne, has Vicky (Victoria Wilson, AR’s editor of 40+yrs) ever cut, or asked you to cut, a sex scene from any of your books?”

The answer was an immediate “NO.”

Vicky said: “Her sex scenes… I’m reading them going, ‘Oh Anne, are we going there? We are? Oh god.’ and then I turn the page and it gets so much more intense even…. and that’s what great writing is, it takes you on a journey you might not have planned on, but enjoyed.”

Anne Rice booksigning tonight! More of a report to follow. Nothing crazy happened, no vision seen nor secrets learned that would damn or save your souls. 

There was a dude doing bodypaint outside, unrelated to the event, but certainly… was popular amongst the fans waiting outside… for some reason… hmmm… 

[Take note, liquorandptsdvarietyshow, Francis Durand has a signed copy! Is that meta in some way? hmmmm…]

//are you meeting Anne Christ in person? that’s so cool! :D

She was JUST taking the stage when your message popped in, yes, I met her tonight at the booksigning! Full report to follow. 

For now, I will report:

  • There will be 2-3 more books in the VC following Prince Lestat.
  • She’s got a meeting with Universal Studios and Imagine Entertainment re: Tale of the Body Thief and other book-to-movie adaptations in November.
  • She had asked Christopher to write the Tale of the Body Thief script on spec, for free, bc the attempts they had seen of any VC scripts were horrendous and they wanted to get it moving. Needless to say, his script was fabulous and that’s what started the wheels turning. 
  • She has had the same editor for 40+ years and compared their relationship to a marriage.
