Guys, I am heading for bed after an exciting and fulfilling evening. In West Hollywood today, on The Dinner Party Show, I announced my new book, "Prince Lestat" which will be published on October 28th. It was such a relief and such a pleasure, at last, to be able to speak about the up and coming novel, which I finished some time ago. And I want to thank all of you who made this a thrilling experience for me. Thank you for your generous and enthusiastic posts, both here, and on The Dinner Party Show FB page. Thanks for letting me know you haven't forgotten by beloved Brat Prince. --- Sharing my experiences with you on this page is an extraordinary joy. We now have over 995,000 people tuning in here and will soon reach one million. I am so grateful. It's such fun. It's more than fun. Good night and blessings to all. ‪#‎PrinceLestat‬.
