Such men and women were not seen as victims or martyrs but as honored heroes. Critics have commented on the sensuality and visceral immediacy of your prose. I try very hard to bring the reader to experience the same things my characters do. To me this is the essence of the writer's art. But in a larger sense it is possibly the essence of a life well lived.
Life is a watch or a vision between a sleep and a sleep.
For the present. To my beloved sister, known to the world as Anne Rice. Out of darkness smile on me faces I may never see. Out of sleep are reaching still arms that I may never fill. At every important junction in my career, you have always been there for me.
