Running, as usual…

Hey folks… much going on, gotta download the intel fast, LOL… got in a gazillion contest essays from the good people at The Devil’s Candy Store–so I’m gonna be wading through those anonymous entries (the DCS strips off identifying info, I read and pick–to keep it all fair)… but I have to say it is SO AWESOME of them to have donated that really kewel and expensive item to the VHL family, you know.

Then, let us not forget, in about a week and a half, The Twelve Tribes Compound Summit will hit Philly, OMG–talk about crazy logistics and a packed weekend! Whew! The City of Philadelphia’s entertainment and event portal, GOPHILLY.COM put us up in cyberspace That was also very, very cool. We posted artists that are coming and panelists, so if you haven’t been by www.NeteruTour.com stop by and check it out, the site has been updated.

Meanwhile, I’m working on werewolves and other things that go bump in the night (yay!) I was having “Damali & Carlos” withdrawal until I began working on the graphic novel–but Sasha and Hunter are kinda like methodone (BIG SMILE.)

OK… gotta run… we also updated the appearances page at www.vampirehuntress.com as well as at www.LeslieEsdaileBanks.com with a whirlwind tour. A DC stop will be added this week, too

Back to work for me… you all have a good one and stay in the Light!

BIG PHILLY HUG (and go Steelers! I’m a PA resident, smile, what can I say?! LOL!)

Happy New Year!

I know, I know, LOL… I’ve been AWOL at the start of the New Year–forgive me! But I’ve been head-down at the computer creating new stories and navigating the logistics of the Twelve Tribes Compound Summit… which has morphed into its own beast, BIG GRIN!

However, there are some post holiday goodies for readers… a brand new story on the MacMillan/St. Martin’s Press Website, entitled, Atlantis Rising–sort of my parting BTB as the VHL series nears its finale book release of “The Thirteeth.” So go to the site and sign up for pub-alerts:

Even though the VHL novel series is formally ending with book #12 — we have graphic novels featuring Carlos and Damali and the team still coming, with a manga prequel of their early team lives, as well as “children of” the Neteru Guardian Team coming out in a young adult format… so this year and 2010 will prove to be filled with VHL methodone–(laughing–for me, too–I already miss my beloved characters!)

And lets not forget about Sasha and Hunter… Undead on Arrival will be out in April… and then next year I’ll have some romance in he form of The Men of Delta Force–but 2009 was my paranormal writing year… this girl’s been crazy-busy over the holiday.

So, thanks so much for hanging in there during my writer “time black outs.” It’s gotten to the point that I have to do it, and bless you all for being so patient with me.

BIG HUG and Much Love, Leslie!
