| biography:
| Writer, born in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Named after her father, she legally changed her name (c.1947). She studied at Texas Women's University (1959–60), San Francisco State College (1964 BA; 1971 MA), and at the University of California, Berkeley (1969–70). After a variety of jobs, such as waitress, cook, and insurance claims examiner, she began her career as a writer of erotica and vampire novels. Living in New Orleans, she gained a vast cult readership for her supernatural novels, such as the Vampire Chronicles (1989), a trilogy, and for her sadomasochistic erotica, as in Beauty's Punishment (1984). Later novels include Servant of the Bones (1996) and Vittorio the Vampire (1999). She also wrote mainstream fiction, using the pen name of Anne Rampling. |
