In the 4th Book in the Crimson Moon Novels series Sasha goes deeper into the realm of the Fae where a new danger lurks.
Secret government operative Sasha Trudeau arrives at the scene of a murder, only to discover that a Fae creature has been killed—in a whole new kind of way. What is the meaning behind this mysterious ritualistic killing? What did the victim do to deserve it? Sasha fears that the Vampires and Unseelies have formed an unholy alliance…and they’re ready to unleash their darkest arsenal of magick yet. Teaming up with her mate and fellow Shadow Wolf, Max Hunter, Sasha tries to penetrate the paranormal community for clues. Meanwhile, members of the Wolf Clan are turning against one another as they race to uncover the meaning behind an ancient Unseelie curse. Even Sasha is not immune to this powerful magick, and soon finds herself drawn to a sensual, dangerous dance—one that could cost her own life… About the Crimson Moon Series: Sasha Trudeau knows all about working beneath the shadows, back-alley deals, and things that go bump in the night. She also knows that the world is unaware of the existence of the parnormal--and that the government would like to keep it that way.
Hot Reviews for L.A. BANKS' "BAD BLOOD" 
"An action-packed thrill ride! L. A. Banks tells a mean tale of love, redemption and horror. "Super talented Banks launches the complex and darkly thrilling new Crimson Moon series, which bursts with treachery and supernatural chills. The plot intricacies are carefully woven throughout, but Banks piles on the danger, making this one exciting thrill ride!" "Book one of the Crimson Moon novels, BAD BLOOD is a fantastic urban fantasy filled with action, intrigue, betrayal, double dealing and plenty of mano a fema as well as romance. The compelling story line uses the concept of the forces of good and evil vying for supremacy with the malevolent side cleverly disguising their activity as altruistic. The protagonists struggle to survive as there are traitors within the were, human, and shadow communities. L.A. Banks provides a spine tingling supernatural thriller that shows why her fans always clamor for more." |

THE DARKER MASK
Expanding on the concept behind Byron Preiss' Weird Heroes from the 1970s, George R.R. Martin's Wild Cards series, and Michael Chabon's McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales, The Darker Mask is a collection of original prose stories offering new interpretations of the beings we call superheroes. Unique to The Darker Mask are characters and stories that color a universe beyond previous homages to pulp. These are tales of extraordinary folks who have been ignored, marginalized, stereotyped. They may lurk in the shadows of a soon-to-be-gentrified ghetto, the dreary rust-bolt of the city, or in another dimension or planet entirely. But they are heroes nonetheless. The Darker Mask offers an eclectic mix of bestselling, award-winning writers and artists exploring worlds gritty, visceral, and fantastic.
Including stories by: L.A. Banks, Lorenzo Caceterra, Christopher Chambers, Tananarive Due and Stephen Barnes, Michael A. Gonzales, Gar Anthony Haywood, Naomi Hirahara, Mat Johnson, Victor LaValle, Walter Mosley, Annie Nocenti, Gary Phillips, Jerry Rodriguez, Peter Spiegelman, Alexandra Sokoloff, Wayne L. Wilson, and Doselle Young

This collection of smart and raw stories out marvels Marvel and makes me want to strip down to my inner tights. The Darker Mask cuts superhero mythology to the bone; leaving neither the characters nor the reader invulnerable to its mesmerizing power.

A Note From Leslie
Dear Readers,
You may or may not be aware that I write under several names--so many that sometimes the aliases get crazy and confusing (smile.) So, bear with me while I take a moment to introduce my full writing portfolio to you, given that I write various genres under multiple pseudonyms using the names: L.A. Banks, Leslie Esdaile Banks, Leslie E. Banks, Leslie Banks and Leslie Esdaile, simultaneously with five major publishers: St. Martin's Press (NYC), Simon and Schuster (NYC), Kensington Publishing (NYC), BET/Arabesque (NYC), and Genesis Press (MS.).
Crazy, isn't it?
Thank you for viewing my work and I hope you find a genre you will be interested in reading. Enjoy!
