Heartily seconded -- I adore Due's work. Her "African Immortals" series in particular is one of the most original takes on a vampire mythos I've ever seen: if you like vamp books but find a lot of the current paranormals a little tiresome because they don't bring anything new and different to the table, give Tananarive Due : My Soul to Keep a try. Also, while most of her work has been on the horror/paranormal side, she does write outside of this genre as well; Tananarive Due : The Black Rose: The Dramatic Story of Madam C.J. Walker, America's First Black Female Millionaire is a historical novel about the famous entrepeneur Madame Walker, and the "Tennyson Hardwick" mysteries are collaborations between Due, her husband Steven Barnes, and actor Blair Underwood.
