Hi! I'm here to answer all your questions about those oddball books you can't find. Looking for a title, but not sure if it exists? Wanting to know who the real author is on a book you're pretty sure was written under a nom de plume? Where the heck is that Stephen King story your favorite movie is based on? Ask away!
Today's question:
Anne Rice does Raunch
Boy howdy, did she! Anne Rice has a couple of books in the (very) erotica section. There's two names Ms Rice used to indulge herself in- Exit to Eden, and Belinda were written under the name Anne Rampling, and the Beauty Trilogy under the name A. N. Roquelaure. All deal with compassionate sado-masochism, or at least that's the best term I can think of. 
I've never read Belinda, it seems to be a Lolita type of thing. I know Exit to Eden was made into a movie with Dana Delany,  Paul Mercurio, Rosie O'Donnell, Dan Aykroyd, Stuart Wilson, and Iman. But that whole super-criminal thing appears nowhere in the book- that was grafted on by Garry Marshall. (Many say to the detriment of the story. I personally thought it was funny, but then, anything that shows Rosie O'Donnell with a whip is funny.) So don't go looking for that back story there.
I actually own the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy, kind of, my friends keep borrowing them and I don't think I've had them all on my shelf at once in three years. (J- I want them back, please!) However, you can hear more about them from Anne Rice herself at her website Q&A section!
So if you're into that sort of stuff- go ahead and read them. Let's just say you'll never look at cinnamon rolls the same way again.
Someone told me that Anne Rice wrote some (ahem) adult books. Is this true? Does she use another name?
