Well Feeders, I guess I’m late to the bus.
I was doing some Amazon shopping and stumbled across the news that LJ Smith will NOT be writing anymore of The Vampire Diaries! Say it ain’t so! Not being one to take Amazon Reviewers at their word, I did some research and sure enough, LJ confirmed it on her website in MAY!
Here’s some info, straight from the Vampire’s mouth….
DON’T BOYCOTT says LJ
No official blog on WHEN it happened, just that it did. Sad day, feeders. I cut my teeth on these books. And now she’s “fired”? What think you? Will you keep reading or are you done with the series?
Just Some Random Thoughts

Today (well, tonight) a fan wrote to me. She said, more or less, “Is Elena going to become a
vampire again? I’d really like that. Could you tell the ghostwriter to put it into her books?”
I may seriously lose my mind. I can’t tell the ghostwriter anything. First, I’m not allowed to.
Second, if I were allowed to speak to her, what would I say? I know who she is. I knew her
before I chose her as the person to carry the series on after I had written either three or six
more books, whatever it took to get to the endgame. When I first started writing the new
Vampire Diaries
trilogy that most people have read by now:
Nightfall, Shadow Souls,
and
Midnight
, she was my editor at Harper. Now, Alloy and whoever is making the decisions at HarperTeen
have decided that not only may I not make suggestions to the ghostwriter, but that I may not
see the manuscript until it is finished and I may not comment on it (except to empty air) at that
point.
From them, I understand it. But this woman had been my editor. We used to write cheery little
notes to each other each week The Vampire Diaries was on the bestseller list. I used to call her
my little bird caroling good news. And I picked her–I offered to make her a Bible of how the
characters should be when I’d finished writing the books. But when the books were
