Please don’t kill the messenger, folks – Midnight, the third and final book in L.J. Smith’s The Vampire Diaries: The Return trilogy, has a new U.S. release date on Amazon: March 15, 2011. We haven’t seen a listing on HarperCollins or HarperTeen yet, but this seems in-line with what we’ve been hearing these past few months. Hopefully Harper will follow up with confirmation soon. No cover yet, but we’re keeping an eye out. Pre-order The Return: Midnight.
Last month we blogged about Stefan’s Diaries – the new book series based on the TV series’ mythology, with input from L.J. Smith, Julie Plec, and Kevin Williamson – along with Stefan’s Diaries #1‘s release date of November 2, 2010. Well, now Amazon has been updated with release dates for the rest of the trilogy. Readers can expect Stefan’s Diaries #2 on January 4, 2011 and Stefan’s Diaries #3 on March 15, 2011. (Yep, same day as Midnight.)

There’s been some confusion floating around about Stefan’s Diaries, which Bookseller.com reported as being a prequel trilogy to L.J. Smith’s original Vampire Diaries book series. So imagine our confusion when a reader pointed out this HarperCollins catalog listing:
Now fans can get more of their favorite vampire drama! Written in a diary format from the point of view of smoldering vampire Stefan Salvatore, Stefan’s Diaries tells the story, as depicted on The Vampire Diaries television show, of the love triangle that would change the Salvatore brothers’ lives forever. This trilogy offers new insight into the wildly popular TV series and the epic love story that turned devoted brothers into mortal enemies.
So we emailed HarperTeen for clarification and they were gracious enough to provide us with the following statement for release:
STEFAN’S DIARIES are an exciting new project based on the VAMPIRE DIARIES novels written by LJ Smith and the TV series developed by Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec. The prequel story is based on the lore from the show, taking place during the Civil War.
We’re not entirely sure if the “new Vampire Diaries trilogy” L.J. Smith mentioned in this April 5th blog post is referencing Stefan’s Diaries or not, and we’re not entirely clear on her involvement with this particular project. But at least we know for certain that there will be a book trilogy based on the TV series’ mythology, L.J. Smith is not writing it, and it is due for release on November 2, 2010. You can pre-order it now on Amazon.
Hopefully we’ll have more information soon!

Remember way back on January 5th, when we posted about a curious listing on the Harper Teen website? The one called Stefan’s Diaries? (The posting has since been removed.) A few days ago, author L.J. Smith posted a blog entry that had us wondering if we were misunderstanding her, or if she was saying what we now know for sure she was saying: There’s going to be yet another Vampire Diaries trilogy.
Bookseller.com is reporting that U.K. publishing house Hodder has picked up the rights to Smith’s next project: a Vampire Diaries prequel trilogy called Stefan’s Diaries – yep, prequel, as in taking place before the original Vampire Diaries series.
And, sorry, Night World fans – according to LJS, it looks like this new trilogy will be coming out before the long-awaited final volume in that series, Strange Fate.
