History in The Making

An author who triumphed over tragedy becomes a writing force of nature and makes history. L.A. Banks began her writing career when her then six month old daughter was severely burned in a daycare center accident--but overcame the publishing odds to write in multiple genres with major publishing house releases hitting the market at once.

(PRWEB) September 22, 2005 -- According to Publisher's Weekly and BIBR, author L.A. Banks may just be the first African American, female author to write for multiple genres under multiple pen names--with simultaneous, major publishing house releases to hit the market.

As a writing force of nature, Banks writes in genres as diverse as paranormal, crime, women's fiction, romance, and non-fiction under the names: L.A. Banks, Leslie Esdaile Banks, Leslie E. Banks, Leslie Banks and Leslie Esdaile, with St. Martin's Press, Dark Horse Publishing, Kensington/Dafina Publishing, Simon and Schuster/Pocketbooks, BET/Arabesque, and Genesis Press.

In 2006, Banks is positioned to release two multi-cultural Vampire Huntress Legends novels in her nine book series (of which the first book in the series, Minion, has been translated into Russian); the Scarface novel (based upon the classic movie); another crime novel in her 4-book series; a romance; and three anthology contributions -- with the same level of output scheduled for 2007.
