This is me a few days ago at the tomb of Anne Rice, in New Orleans. She wrote Interview of a Vampire and was a huge inspiration to me when I wrote “Orange Whiskey”. It is available right now on my website https://elizabethatkinsonauthor.com
Or you can come see me in person at Canton Marketplace at booth 101. I’ll be here all weekend!

Every writer like me, had someone to inspire them to become a writer. That person for me was Anne Rice. I have just made a trip to NOLA to visit her grave. This was a very special moment for me.
In an interview she gave years ago before her death she gave me some advice I have never forgotten. She said, “Find your voice and write your books the way you want it. Don’t follow the rules. And I did! I have written an entire southern vampire book series called Dancin with da Dead.
