From KFMB San Diego:
Anne Rice Leaving San Diego for Desert
Last Updated:01-12-06 at 8:34AM
Less than a year after buying a luxury home in San Diego, author Anne Rice is selling the dwelling and moving to the desert for a warmer climate and simpler life, her real estate agent said.
"She had been used to the heat of New Orleans for so many years, and she found La Jolla cold," said Bonnie Adams of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, referring to the San Diego neighborhood.
Rice, 64, is the best selling author of 27 books including "Interview With the Vampire" and, most recently, "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt."
Rice decided to move West in 2004 after attending a book-signing at Warwick's bookstore in La Jolla. Her son, Christopher, lives in Los Angeles and her husband died in 2002.
She bought a 3,000-square-foot home for $2.35 million, but quickly decided she needed more space and put it back on the market. Last February, she bought the three-story, 10,089 square-foot La Jolla home for $8 million, said Adams, who represented her in the purchase.
Rice recently bought a $4.2 million home in Rancho Mirage, a desert community 85 miles northeast of San Diego.
