edit data

I am a lifelong avid reader with a passionate love for a good story, be it fiction on nonfiction. As a kid, I loved genre movies-westerns, gangsters, horror-because the story was king with those kind of flicks, same with comic books, another life long passion. After years of reading, I decided to try my hand at writing the kind of fiction I enjoyed and learned there is no greater satisfaction than to labor on something you love and then discover others find pleasure in it as well.

It's a werewolf, not a vampire, but still the same Anne Rice.

The Wolf Gift (The Wolf Gift Chronicles, #1) by Anne Rice

Back in 2011, Anne Rice took a detour from writing about vampires and wrote a couple novels centering on another creature of the night, the werewolf. The resulting book was THE WOLF GIFT, and according to her, writing it was pure joy. She freely admitted to using a lot of her favorite tropes, starting with having a supernatural monster as the hero, along with a lot of gothic touches such as a Read more of this blog post »
