Melissa de la Cruz has signed contracts with Hyperion and Disney Book Group, including a two-book deal for a new series of novels.

The first book in the new young adult series  is “Witches of East End” and is set for spring 2011. The book will include characters from the “Blue Bloods” series.

Disney-Hyperion, who publishes  “Blue Bloods,” has also struck a deal for two books in another new series from Melissa de la Cruz. “Wolf Pact” will deal with the werewolf character from “Blue Bloods.”

It will also publish three “Blue Bloods” companion books, including “Blue Bloods: Keys to the Repository,” set for 2010, “Blue Bloods: Bloody Valentine” and “Blue Bloods: The Graphic Novel,” both slated for 2011.

I’m so glad Blue Bloods is far away from ending!
