Thank You Anne Rice

I just wanted to take some time to gush about Anne Rice. I've been a fan for years and years and was first in line when the Wolf Gift came out earlier this year, but I have to say I became an even bigger fan when I found Anne on Facebook.

I had always limited myself to a very small circle of FB friends, but this year I stepped in to the future and finally started to become a fan of other FB pages. I joined the New York Public Library, Publisher's Weekly, some local businesses and news feeds, but buy far the most amazing page I found was Anne Rice's.

Now I have to state that I'm not big on current events. I tend to stay away from world news and politics. It's just not my thing. If it's not book related or big enough news to make a post on Perez Hilton, I don't usually know about it. But, Anne's FB posts have opened up a whole new world for me. I've always been passionate about women's issues, but never knew where to find out the latest and greatest. I have found a place where things are discussed intelligently and fairly. My mind is challenged. I feel like I've found a place to learn new things. Her posts on archaeology, the separation of church and state, abortion, and authors get me riled up and excited. She recently even highlighted an incident that happened here in Flagstaff when a local female judge chastised a women for being out late at night and getting fondled by an off-duty police officer.

It's just so great to see an author really reach out to her fans and be a part of a productive community. She is a genuine role model for me and I don't have many of those.
Thank you Anne Rice!
