Umm… so Anne Rice released a video (the day before her birthday) on her facebook that said she’s already working on a new Lestat book to follow Atlantis. (T_T) Bless.

See Video Here

^I can’t embed the vid, so here’s a screencap, anyway I watched it and took notes so you don’t have to the LENGTHS I go to for you and here are my notes:

• Many new characters in PLROA
• Louis – not a major player but a very important player.
• Marius – plays a significant role
• Fareed – plays a significant role
• Viktor – is there
• Rose – is there
• Has some thoughts on the changes in the writing industry
• “The name of the game is to keep writing and keep dreaming…”
• Probs not ever returning to Cry to Heaven, but she loved it, “How the wounded can fight, how we can redeem ourselves through art and sexuality.”
• Into the next VC story EVEN MOAR DANGERS AND CHALLENGES that come out of the Atlantis story.
• Mayfairs – not going back right now, but there’s active interest in Hollywood, for a quality TV series. Promising talks going on.
• AR does alot of planning w/ her writing, but “you have to be willing to throw it all away in the process.”
• She quotes Sandy Gustin: “God triumphs on the ruins of our plans. And I think novelists have to be ready to triumph on the ruins of their plans.”
• She loves us all
