Publishers Weekly had an exclusive on this news, so I couldn’t share it until after they published it yesterday.

Hamilton Re-ups At Berkley
Bestseller Laurell K. Hamilton inked a new three-book deal with her editor at Berkley, Cindy Hwang. The North American rights agreement, which Merrilee Heifetz at Writers House handled, will bring fans her first new series since 1999. The new books feature Detective Samuel Havelock, who works in the Metaphysical Coordination Unit. Berkley said Havelock exists “in a universe where heaven, hell, and our own world converge,” and “he is all we have keeping the Apocalypse at bay.” Also included in the agreement is a novel in Hamilton’s Anita Blake , Vampire Hunter series and a third book, which Berkley said is “yet to be determined.” Hamilton, according co Berkley, has sold more than 20 million books.

OMG.. a new book series.. im too excited 🙂
I’ve been a fan for a long, long time. Looking forward to new avenues of growth for the characters. Please don’t write a character into the dead end that you have with Nathaniel. You can grow and know you have unmet desires but all relationships have give and take.
So excited!! I can’t wait to visit a new world for LKH!
Still anticipating more in the Meredith Gentry series. Its great that more books and series are coming out but would like more Merry!!! Congratulations.
Great news.
I live that you have a new series, however I am really hoping for more merry Gentry. Please do you have any plans ?
yeah more new books. I love reading her.
Congratulations!!! Can’t wait to read the first installment of the new series! You are my all time favorite author and I am always impatiently awaiting your next book release and always look forward to the new ones ❤. Thank you for creating a world for my escape when reality becomes to much.
Congratulations on your new series to come Ms. Hamilton! I will love anything you write for you are one of the most precise and thorough writers I have read. Thank you so very much!
Congratulations!! That is so exciting:) I cant wait to read the new series and of course Anita and the crew!
More Merry please xxxxx
Sounds like another interesting series, cant wait!!!
Very exciting! If you need advanced readers, I would love to assist!!
Will the third one be a Merry Gentry book?
I’m stoked about this story idea, you create intricate Universes like nobody else out there. That being said, I would <3 some closure on Merry. I love your fairies, and I want to know how it "ends."
Sounds great, looking forward to the new series. Any chance the third book could be from Merry’s series. Thanks for your great tales. I’ve been waiting to see how the new home turns out.
Very excited to have more books from you! I love your writing and concepts. I have to agree with many others about the Merry Gentry series… I’d love to see more of that! Many thanks!
I’m looking forward to the new series but I’m also looking forward to all the anita books that are to come. Here’s hoping she goes back and tells more about Nicky’s old alpha and also Samuel was never brought into his power so that should happen as well. I think it woud be really cool if Obsidian Butterfly showed up and her and Olaf had a showdown, now that would be cool.
