Welcome to my Web
Site! I'm on the left. Leslie "L. A."
Banks is on the right, signing all of my books at Borders in Chicago 2005. Well, they are
really her books: I bought them
because the stories are GREAT!
Leslie is a phenomenal multi-genre writer and friend.
Whenever she is in the area,
I attend her book signings. We always have a good time,
especially with our mutual friend, author Barbara Keaton!
Now,
Leslie has a young adult series, a continuation of her Vampire Huntress Legends
series. The first book is Shadow Walker. She even has a
website dedicated to the series the Neteru
Academy. You can download Shadow Walker to your Kindle (I have
it on my iPhone), Nook, or other ebook platforms. It will soon be
available in paperback through Amazon. I cannot wait to hold it in my
hands.
As you can tell, I love to read, but even more than that, I love to write and play around with words.
I've always wanted to create a web page, and I've designed this site especially for you. Take a few minutes to study the features. The navigation column on the left will help.
As a student in English-Language Arts at Beloit Memorial, you will be exposed to a variety of writing, reading, speaking, and listening activities.
