L.J. Smith recently updated her blog with more information about the new and as-yet unnamed Vampire Diaries trilogy, including the titles of the books and the overall idea of what the trilogy will be about.

I’ve just emerged from a very intense session of negotiation with the result that, barring my publishers rejecting Midnight, there will be a new arc of three books in The Vampire Diaries series. My choices for titles are Phantom, Evensong and Eternity, but first thing this morning my agent informed me that they are looking to me for suggestions for a name for the entire arc (the last one they called The Return). If anyone has a nice title and no use for it, email me. The books are about Elena and Stefan et. al. starting at Dalcrest College, and finding themselves playing the role of Spirit Hunters (already suggested by me) or just plain hunting serial murderers who may or may not be mystical. If you do think of something, and we use it, I’ll send you an autographed book!

As there are spoilers for The Return trilogy in this, we’d appreciate it if you didn’t discuss spoilers in the comments, and headed over to our forums to join in on any spoilery discussion there, please.

Good news for Danish fans – The Return Trilogy is due for publication in Denmark at some point in the near future. No date yet, but given we’re in the second half of August already, late 2010 or early 2011 seems like a reasonable guess. You can keep an eye on the Vampire Diaries section of the Tellerup website, and also order the first four books from there, too. The covers for Nightfall (Mørkets frembrud) and Shadow Souls (Skyggesjæle) have been revealed, with just Midnight (Midnat) left as a mystery. Many thanks to the LJS Covers Resource for the book covers.

Thanks to the LJS Cover Resource (all hail Lorraine!), we’ve got some Vampire Diaries covers to share with you.

First up, the reprints of the original series in Denmark with some very striking covers. Going with a white/light theme really makes these stand out, and the artsy poses of Elena really add to the wow factor. And the subtle background of veins? Awesome. The Awakening also has an interesting title change, which translates to ‘Brothers of Darkness’ (thanks, Katrine!). Appropriate, no? Danish fans can look forward to buying these from Tellerup over the Summer. The Awakening and The Struggle will be published on May 10th, The Fury on June 10th, and Dark Reunion on July 16th.

The Russian cover for Dark Reunion (pictured left) has been released in its usual unrelated glory, though we haven’t got a date yet for when it will be published. Keep an eye on Ozon.ru. We also have the cover for the Italian version of Shadow Souls (pictured right), which should already be available to buy in bookstores.
