I've only read one of his books and it scared the life out of me, so I never read any more but just about everyone I know loves him.<br /><br />I have often said on your blog that I can't write for toffee, prefering to read but after this I might just re-visit the book I took my paragraphs from. Oh I can feel my head swelling .... <br /><br />I've never read Anne Rice either but I'd say you write like Lynn Viehl, one of my favourite authors.Fran Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-79850081462685612642012-11-27T13:44:07.319-05:002012-11-27T13:44:07.319-05:00That's really freaky.

I tried several stories from two of my universes and one seems to be consistantly written like Rudyard Kipling, and the other consistantly like Anne Rice. Apparently I change style from universe to universe. For me, the most interesting part is that I've never read anything by either author.
