She began her professional writing career with the publication of Interview with the Vampire in 1976, while living in California, and began writing sequels to the novel in the 1980s. In the mid-2000s, following a publicized return to Catholicism, Rice published the novels Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt and Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana, fictionalized accounts of certain incidents in the life of Jesus. Several years later she distanced herself from organized Christianity, citing disagreement with the Roman Catholic Church’s stances on social issues but pledging that faith in God remained “central to life.” However, she later considered herself a secular humanist.
Following the publication of Interview with the Vampire, while living in California, Rice wrote two historical novels, The Feast of All Saints and Cry to Heaven, along with three erotic novels under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure, and two more under the pseudonym Anne Rampling .

She also published Violin, a tale of a ghostly haunting, in 1997.Rice appeared on an episode of The Real World: New Orleans that aired in 2000.
