Oh, how we love Chris Rice! He’s urbane, dashing, funny and one hell of a good writer. Since we can’t wait until December 2 when he chats live at BookTrib After Dark at 8 p.m. ET about The Flame, his latest novella from 1,001 Dark Nights anthology, we have a treat. Here are the top 10 reasons we love Chris. Read these and we think you’ll love him, too.

1. He’s a crazy cat lady…errhm, man.

Success!

 

2. He is obsessed with the TV show Supernatural (He’s a Dean fan all the way).

 

 

3. He always admits his mistakes.

 

4. His overall enthusiasm for just about everything.

 

5. He appreciates his mother’s fashion sense. (Seriously though, how are you not a drag queen?)

6. He knows that real life is the most frightening story.

 

 

7. He’s eternally wise…

 

8. …And always humble!

 

9. He’s not afraid to tweet #TMI from his fans.

 

 

10. And last but not least, he loves a good party!
