I am in shock, even though I knew she was very ill.
While she was not my favorite author, she was a rather young author and I enjoyed a handful of her work. What I liked about the Vampire Huntress series the most is that when my BFF's mom would yell at me for reading such "goddless garbage" I could always pull out an LA Banks book to show that religion and fantasy don't have to be at odds with one another.

Quote:
Novelist L.A. Banks has died after a battle with late stage adrenal cancer.
Leslie Esdaile wrote many novels under different pseudonyms, but published her popular Vampire Huntress Legend series and the Crimson Moon series under the name of L.A. Banks. The writer will be honored at a memorial event on August 6th.
Her fan club president posted this brief message on Facebook; add your thoughts and tributes there: “It is with profound sadness that I announce that Leslie Esdaile Banks, our Queen literary passed this morning. I will share details of funeral arrangements as soon as they become available.”
