Anne has some intriguing items in her archives, including this shot taken for an Anne Rice Calendar. To be honest, we’re not sure if the calendar was ever published. We also don’t have information for the photographer. (If anyone does, we would love to credit her or him.) But we wanted to share this little time capsule from Anne’s time in New Orleans during the late 90’s, an image that includes Anne’s late husband Stan and her son @christopher.rice.writer, taken on the front porch of her former home at 1239 First Street in the Garden District. #annerice #neworleans #gardendistrict #thevampirechronicles #thevampirelestat #thequeenofthedamned #interviewwiththevampire #lestat #1239firststreet #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #vampires #thewitchinghour #livesofthemayfairwitches
Over the years, the covers for Anne’s books have only occasionally drawn on the traditional elements one expects with tales of supernatural fiction, often employing pieces of classical artwork or minimalist title treatments. What is your favorite Anne Rice book cover? (Posted By Anne’s Team) #annerice #thevampirechronicles #thevampirelestat #angeltime #bloodcommunion #bloodandgold #servantofthebones
Every Christmas Anne’s dear friend, writer @ericshawquinn, brings her a different type of frog prince statue for every day that he stays with her for the holidays. Typically he brings small statues and figurines, but this year he spiced things up with some “frog prince cosplay” which Anne proudly adorned at the breakfast table. This tradition was inspired by the late Stan Rice, who used to refer to the New Orleans Rice residence as “Toad Hall.” #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #annerice #lestat #frogprincesofinstagram
Here’s Anne looking very much like a Hollywood player, reading “the trades” while awaiting a major meeting on THE VAMPIRE LESTAT TV series in the Sumner Redstone Building at Paramount Studios. Major announcement coming soon.

Anne wishes everyone a happy new year and hopes that in 2018 all Americans can share in the American dream. #happynewyear
Anne’s son @christopher.rice.writer had a very interesting addition to the #oldheadshotday hashtag. #annerice #christophherrice #vampirebaby
An old friend notified us that the house where Anne lived for many years with Stan and @christopher.rice.writer in San Francisco’s Castro District is apparently for sale. Anne wrote THE VAMPIRE LESTAT and CRY TO HEAVEN in this home. #annerice #thevampirelestat #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #lestat #crytoheaven #castrodistrict #sanfrancisco
Yes, we’re serious. Anne is learning how to use a mobile phone for the first time and @ericshawquinn is doing a great job of teaching her. “It’s time for me to learn how to text my sister.” #authorsofinstagram #bookstagram #texting #annerice #vampirechronicles
Anne was thrilled to see this T-shirt for the first time today. Unfortunately, we were so busy laughing and taking pictures we forgot to get this reader’s name. If you know her, ask her to get in touch with us.

A special message for those who follow Anne’s Facebook page.
This is @christopher.rice.writer. We’ve unearthed some wonderful family photographs in storage that have never been shared publicly, and I’m excited to start bringing them to you on the page. This is a collection of personal shots that were taken of Anne in the summer of 1996 in at the Hotel Danieli in Venice, Italy. We were on a lavish family tour of Italy to celebrate my graduation from high school. Anne was between the publications of MEMNOCH THE DEVIL and SERVANT OF THE BONES. I can’t remember another time when so many of us traveled together. The trip was full of magical moments. My grandmother, never a big classical music fan, was moved to tears by a Vivaldi violin concert we attended just steps from this hotel. And it was during this trip that the creative seeds were planted for VITTORIO THE VAMPIRE, a book for which we’d make a return trip to Italy in February of 1998, when the weather was far colder and the Arno River in Florence was threaded with ice. For those of who you read my first novel, A DENSITY OF SOULS, the Rome sequences were inspired by this trip as well. Anne was a fiercely generous person throughout her life who believed in spending the rewards of her success on those she loved. This grand tour was but one example. More photos and memories to come in the weeks ahead. Love, Christopher #annerice #thevampirechronicles #venice #authorsofinstagram #hoteldanieli #italy #italytravel #lestat #vittoriothevampire #adensityofsouls

On Facebook, reader Amber Lee shared with us this beautiful photograph of a signed, limited edition of PANDORA she received as an anniversary gift.

Anne would like to share a photo with you of some great people who are getting ready to do great things. Stay tuned…
Today Anne extends a heartfelt congratulations to her son @christopher.rice.writer on the publication of his second Burning Girl thriller, #BloodEcho. It’s now on sale from Amazon. We’ve placed a link in Anne’s story. The Burning Girl series is the tale of Charlotte Rowe, a trauma survivor who’s secretly slipped a drug that endows her with superhuman strength when she’s afraid. She uses this power to hunt down serial killers like the ones who murdered her mother. The first entry in the series, BONE MUSIC, was an Amazon Charts bestseller and a big hit with readers. If you haven’t checked out the series, we hope you’ll give it a try. #bonemusic #burninggirl #bloodecho #bookstagram #thrillers
Anne and her son @christopher.rice.writer are so grateful their beloved cousin Allen Daviau, who was lost to COVID earlier this year, was included in tonight’s In Memoriam segment at the Oscars. Allen was nominated for best cinematography for his work on EMPIRE OF THE SUN and E.T. The Rice family misses him dearly, but is grateful to have been blessed by his enormous talent and gentle, generous spirit. #oscars #academyawards
