For those feeling the loss of the VHL series, we wanted to let you know that there’s more coming–just not in novel format. True, The Thirteenth is the last “book” in that epic saga depicting the life and times of the Neterus and their team members/family… but graphic novels are coming from the Dabel Brothers Productions, as promised, this year. The first look at some of their wonderful work (by artist Brett Booth and colorist Jess Booth) can be seen right on this blog if you look to the right. There you will see the first two renderings… one of Damali as an angel; another is a scene from The Thirteenth of Carlos and Damali fighting a huge demon. As images are completed of the team, etc., I’ll be uploading them to the new images gallery. We thought this was a better approach than adding them to static pages on the website because every time an illustration is added, if you’re connected to the blog, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Amazon Connect, etc., you’ll get a notification.
Also, don’t forget, we’ll be doing a manga prequel… action that starts “before” Minion and dovetails into that beginning of the series storyline, plus a whole young adult novel series that deals with the progeny of the Neterus and the Neteru Guardians. So, it’s over but not completely over as a series… this all has an interesting afterlife, so to speak–BIG SMILE!
OK, back to work for yours truly. I have been told that I’m not allowed to play on Facebook or the blog, et al, until I’ve eaten my peas and carrots
LOL!
But here’s a pic from the Chicago Come Out and Play Party that I had to share before I click off email for the day! (Thanks Lissa!)
BIG HUG, Leslie!

I love reading your blogs. But I did not see the illustrations. Are they on your blog, or website?
I don’t see the illustrations either but I’ve seen them before…They’re great
I loved reading the Series, and yes I was sad when it ended. But I also love how it ended. Its going to take Lucifer 20 years to rebuild, same age as the new neturus. That’s what I’m talking about. WTG. L. A. your still fly as hell in my book.
Love your writing – novel, blog, etc. Thank you for sharing!
I know that you will be something on the next generation from the team and Carlos and Damlai’s kids. the little piece I just read has got me salivating!!!!!If they are going to like their parents it is going to be off the chain!!!!
My son and I read your books and we love them, I can’t wait to see what happens with Carlos and Damali’s kids
