Christopher Travis Rice is an American author. Rice has written three best-selling novels: &lt;i&gt;A Density of Souls, The Snow Garden&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Light Before Day&lt;/i&gt;. His next book, &lt;i&gt;Blind Fall&lt;/i&gt;, will be published in 2008 by Charles Scribner's Sons.

Christoper Rice comes from a family of authors. His parents are Anne Rice and the late poet Stan Rice; his aunt, Alice Borchardt, is a noted writer. He is also friends with fellow author Clive Barker. Rice fielded criticism that these connections, rather than his talent, resulted in the publication of his works. Unlike his famous mother, he does not write horror novels, but considers his books to be thrillers.
