I Think I Really Might Cry
After Buffy and before Twilight, Vampire Diaries, and True Blood, I discovered a little series of books that blew my head out of the water. The author was L.A. Banks and seamlessly her tales of Damali Richards merged religion, myth, good, evil, love, and lust into wonderful pieces of art. I read every bit of what was published of that series in about two weeks. Seriously if you haven't read the Vampire Huntress Books and you're in to that kind of stuff...it's a must...a definite MUST... I talked out loud to characters. I cried. I cheered. I fell in love.
Dang - it she made it cool for black girls like me to play around with writing the supernatural...heck she's one of the reasons I started playing around in fanfiction and eventually started writing my original stuff again.
RIP L.A Banks...
