Anne Rice comes to Jesus (http://http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/books/10/31/books.anne.rice.ap/index.html?iref=mpstoryview)
Her memoir, "Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession," is the latest piece of evidence that Rice is reinventing herself in an attempt to build a reputation as a serious Christian writer.
In the memoir, the 67-year-old writer doesn't disavow the two decades she spent churning out books on vampires, demons and witches -- with a batch of S&M erotica thrown in -- following the breakout success of her first novel in 1976, "Interview With the Vampire."
But she's clearly moved on.
I had heard this before, but I think this article is the most fair I've read. I've seen an article slamming her, and one from a evangelist that used her story for his own purpose, so I was happy I read this.
And I'm happy for her, and wish her success.
