CHRISTOPHER RICE TALKS ABOUT UPCOMING BOOK AND HIS MOM, ANNE RICE

Christopher Rice is the gay son of famed writer Anne Rice, but that doesn't mean he writes about the same things. Already a successful published author, his new book, The Moonlit Earth, hits stores today. Christopher says he gets a lot of requests to write a book about werewolves, since his mother wrote books about vampires (which, by the way, were G-A-Y and H-O-T!!), but he tries to explain that it doesn't quite work that way. He tells the Advocate.com, "It has to come from a place of inspiration." His latest book is a cat-and-mouse type thriller dealing with a girl who is trying to clear her gay brother's name when he is accused -- because his boyfriend, a mysterious Middle Easterner is also a suspect -- of helping with a terrorist bombing in Hong Kong and they have disappeared. Oooh, juicy! Christopher is well spoken, brilliant writer. Give his new book a shot. You'll like it I bet!!! [image]
