Google Erotica by Anne Rice. Apparently she has successfully published in that genre under another name.

I’m just curious. Do you believe that erotica and Christianity are mutually exclusive?

Bear in mind that having attempted to read some of Ms Rice’s purported erotica, I believe you and Google might have mischaracterized her work.

Yes, the sleeping beauty stuff. Rather repetitive and unimaginative stuff.

I found it. She wrote under “A.N. Roquelaure” but apparently these books are being republished under “Anne Rice writing as A.N. Roquelaure.”

I enjoyed all the vampire books.

I bought her book on the childhood of Christ, the first of a trilogy, and just couldn’t get into it. I gave it to somebody else to read. I guess I expected some revelation but it is just a novel. She combines Gnostic texts and Christian legend to fill in the blank spaces in the Gospels.

In a foreword or author’s note Rice explains how through an epiphany she returned to the Catholic Church and decided to begin writing books glorifying God. Sort of like when Bob Dylan briefly got into the Christian music scene around 1980.
