Novelist Anne Rice made her name, fame and fortune on dark tales of vampires and illicit love. Her Vampire Chronicles, starting with "Interview with the Vampire" and her dark, blood-drawn hero Lestat, blossomed into a cultural phenomenon -- and sold millions of books.
In 2002, after a religious conversion, Anne Rice vowed to devote her work as a writer to God. She's out now with her second big book putting the Anne Rice imagination -- and devotion -- to work on the life of Jesus. This time, Jesus at 30, coming to terms with divinity.
This hour, On Point: Anne Rice on her faith and path from vampire love to the Gospels.
