The Articulate Coven: Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire & Immortal Universe After Show

Ashley & Joel have finished the latest chapter in the Immortal Universe, now titled, The Vampire Lestat, but soon to be titled THE QUEEN OF THE DAMNED. In this episode, we answer questions from our Patrons about any and everything. Joel does this all while bringing us a view of the French Quarter from his hotel balcony! Kelly joins us for a bit to discuss Joel & Ashley's marriages, and my apologies for a few audio difficulties while she's with us, it's as audible as I could make it & you NEVER miss the meaning of the convo.
