My favorite author and one of my favorite people, Anne Rice, died yesterday of complications from a stroke. I am in tears from this news. I had the pleasure of meeting her multiple times at many Vampire Balls that she used to both hold and attend in New Orleans as well as several book signings there. I am from New Orleans too and it make me happy to know that she will be brought back there by her son, Christopher, and buried there. She will live on in my heart and mind as long as I do and I'm sure I've talk about her enough that she will also live on in my children's as well. I will miss her. I have no words for how sad I am right now.
