As I began book 5 of the Vampire Huntress Legend series, I decided now would be a good time to give you some interesting info that I had come across some time ago:
When I began reading L.A. Banks amazing series many years ago, there had been a post on her website (http://www.vampirehuntress.com/leslie.html) about someone creating the Isis blade IRL... well, I finally found images of this spectacularly forged sword and thought you'd be interested...

I found the images along with the following information on a website called the Devils Candy Store: http://thedevilscandystore.com/devil_html/contraband.html
Madame Isis Hero Sword
Designed and made by Hollywood armourer, Tony Swatoon of "Sword and Stone". The Madame Isis sword was handmade by Tony Swatton, a master bladesmith who has created the swords for Zorro, Blade, Pirates of the Caribbean and Hellboy.
The 42" blade is forged from stainless steel and has a cruciform cross-section based on L.A.Bank's description from her Vampire Huntress Series. The hilt is cast in Bronze by the lost wax process and gold plated around various gemstones that correspond to the body chakras
Cool right? In 2009 the promoters for Bank's novel held an essay writing contest and guess what the prize was... Madame Isis of course! Crazy right? You can find the winner and the winning essay at the following link: http://thedevilscandystore.com/devil_html/madame_isis_contest.html
Well, back to the grind!
