What do you think Louis role will be in the next book? ( also, do you think Anne will be mentioning the crossovers this time? )

Louis will probably spend a lot of time fawning over Lestat, there will probably be a wedding and he’ll probably get another gawdy emerald ring to add to the pile of them. IDK but apparently he can fly now, so he’s using his vampiry gifts finally! Hopefully we’ll see some more of that.

[^X] AR has said, at a booksigning I went to in Oct. 2014, that she didn’t think the Mayfair/VC crossover aged well over time. @daniel-james-molloy has a theory that we’ll see Taltos in PLROA. We’ll see!

“I’ve been asked often: will there be crossover books involving my vampires and my werewolves? Will we see more crossover books with the vampires and the Mayfair witches? — As I see things now, no, I will not be doing crossover books again that involve two different series. The simple reason is: I’ve discovered from experience that each series has a certain texture, a certain ambience, a certain dominant set of aesthetic rules; and crossovers seldom do justice to the series involved in this regard. I’m proud of the hybrid vampire/Mayfair novels (Merrick, Blackwood Farm, and Blood Canticle and appreciate very much those readers who enjoyed them), but these books have not aged well in my mind and heart. I also think many readers were confused by them, especially Mayfair readers who did not especially care for the vampire books I wrote. But I would never say never to anything now. I love to experiment, break new ground, take twists and turns. Who knows? And I do appreciate the questions on this very much.”

Gonna need you to read smtg for the team, you glutton for punishment. Think you can take it? Your mission, should you choose to accept it: “Bleeding Indy” by Siobhan A Stevens (supposedly has a “Lestat” in it?? Has vampires anyway). Apparently it’s the first in a series and was given away in goodiebags at one of AR’s NOLA balls.

Yeah I think I can do that. Not until next month though.

Huzzah! I’m opening this up to anyone else, too. Who’s gonna join Team hyperbeeb in this misson:impossible undesirable?

Okay, so not Louis. He doesn’t read trash.
