Win A Blue Bloods Make-Up Bag! · January 3. · admin
Melissa de la Cruz is hosting a contest, where in exchange for a little fan art, you might get the chance to win a lovely Blue Bloods make-up bag autographed by her! Here’s the details:
So, I have 200 beautiful black patent shiny Blue Bloods makeup bags in my possession. What am I going to do with all these makeup bags?? Give them AWAY of course. To YOU. The vamperatti, the Blue Bloods faithful, the vampire elite!
The bags say “Red Blood” or “Blue Blood” or “Silver Blood” on them, and they are so handy-dandy to have in your purse to store your lipgloss, iphone, keys, whatever you need right away and don’t want to keep rooting in your large voluminous handbag for (it’s certainly helped me!) I put one in all my handbags and I put the same thing in each: sheer lipgloss, blotting papers, and Kleenex. I read about some lady who did this in a fashion magazine and it is so helpful! Now you don’t have to go around looking for your lipgloss (Is it in the leopard Lanvin? The Celine shopper? The Muse? The Birkin? Where the eff is that lipgloss?!?)
So how do you get one of these uber-chic little things? Well, remember back in the day (2008) when we did that poetry contest for the Van Alen Legacy chapter sneaks? Yeah! That was fun! This is sort of like that, except I’m opening up to other artists, not just the poets out there. And YES we will ship internationally because why not? And also I grew up abroad and it always seems so not fun when you can’t be part of whatever is happening. And it’s so fun to hear when the books hit the bestseller lists abroad. So hello, international readers! We’re always thinking of you!
Okay. So how to win one. Oh, and I’ll sign them all. I have a silver sharpie. And yes. They look cool signed.
I just want to see some fan art, some fan poetry. No fan fiction though. Sorry, but that’s not part of the contest. Also, homemade trailers are cool.
Send a copy of your Blue Bloods inspired art project:
1) Poem.
2) Drawing. (Fan Art). Whatever. A Visual Thingy.
3) Book Trailer. You know one of those visual thingies that move. Can be a dreamcast. That’s cool.

Fanmade ‘Blue Bloods’ Trailer || All About Us · April 13. · admin
Now this is a cool fanmade trailer! I have to admit, I did have trouble while lurking Youtube, finding a really amazing fan trailer for Blue Bloods. There’s mostly just dream cast videos, with still images (more like a slideshow). However, this one simply blew my socks off! It was made by witchboy94 on Youtube. And admittedly, I never thought of Schuyler as Ellen Page….but it was an interesting choice. The song and all the clips go together really well, so be sure to check it out!
Be sure to leave your comments on this fanmade trailer!!!

‘Blue Bloods’ Journey to the Best-Seller’s List · February 28. · admin
Melissa recently went to visit the to Ramona Convent Secondary School in Alhambra. In this article, Mel explains her journey to the New York Times Best-Seller’s list…and how Twilight helped lift up Blue Bloods and the whole vampire genre.
The journey from struggling writer to a spot on the New York Times’ best-seller list wasn’t an easy trek for author Melissa De La Cruz.
Shortly after submitting to her publisher her young adult novel, “Blue Bloods,” a series about vampires, De La Cruz was surprised to find another author had beaten her to it.
“I turned in my book and I went to the book store. And there was another vampire book out, and it was called `Twilight,”‘ she said.
No matter, De La Cruz told a group of more than 400 girls Wednesday during a visit to Ramona Convent Secondary School in Alhambra, the popular “Twilight” series has actually helped her own book sales.
“It lifted the whole genre,” she said.
Each year, the school hosts a different author to speak at the all-girls campus. But it took Esther Leung, 17, a senior at Ramona and a big fan of the “Blue Blood” series, nearly two years to nail down a date when the De La Cruz could visit the school.
“It’s not just about vampires,” Leung said. “The books also have history and lots of drama.”
De La Cruz said she normally doesn’t visit schools “unless it’s part of my book tour.”
“But this place is so close to my heart, because I went to a convent school,” she added.
She attended Convent of the Sacred Heart School in San Francisco. The first installation in her “Blue Bloods” series is set against a private school backdrop.
“In `Blue Bloods,’ it’s a lot about my school experience. I was always fascinated by small private schools and their rituals,” she said.
