Banks Crosses Genres St. Martin’s senior editor Monique Patterson has bought world rights to three manga by L. A. Banks via Manie Barron at Menza-Barron. The first of the three books will be a prequel to Minion, the first book in Banks’s Vampire Huntress series, explaining how heroine Damali Richards became the Vampire Huntress. Patterson also bought world rights to the first three novels in a YA series by Banks, to be a spinoff of Vampire Huntress featuring Richards’s daughter and son and set in an an exclusive academy for the supernaturally gifted. Pub date is fall 2009 for the first manga title as well as the first YA book.

I’ve been following Leslie for a moment and keeping up with the Vampire Huntress Series.  Good to see that she’s continuing the storyline/theme and coming out with a Young Adult series.  Wonder if it’s something that my daughter will be interested in reading.

    I would read this manga. I like the picture, so it would probably hold my attention well.

    Hey Jennifer…check out the current series…start with Minion…althought it’s not my favorite in the series it gives the necessary background.

    I have Minion here in my TBR pile. I just haven’t gotten to it yet. Maybe in September as an EPO read.

    Minion was my book club pick for the month of august I have never read a vampire series before and I must say that I am hooked. I wish these titles came in hardback but for now the paperback will do.
