She certainly gave it her all. It will be interesting to see how this affects her future writing.

Well, here's one atheist who deems this to be good news. Her Jesus books sucked!

I'll never understand people who wear their religion on their sleeves. Why did she have to make it such public knowledge in the first place? Did she really think people would care one way or the other?

Instead of beautiful androgynous dead men weeping in velvet cloaks, she probably wrote about beautiful androgynous Christians weeping in velvet cloaks.

Curious: Who do you find to be a good "vampire gothic writer?"

I admire her decision, which doesn't sound like it was an easy one to make. I think it was made public because she turned her back on her vampire books, etc. as not being in keeping with her Catholic faith. In a recent interview, she said that she wrote those books as a very pessimistic atheist.
