Melissa De La Cruz is a Filipino-American author who writes young adult and adult fiction, often blending fantasy, romance, and social satire. She grew up in Manila before moving to San Francisco, and her multicultural background frequently influences her storytelling.
Her breakout series, Blue Bloods, reimagines vampires as fallen angels living as New York socialites. The series ran from 2006 to 2013, spawned multiple spin-offs, and returned with new books in 2022. She also wrote the official Descendants novels for Disney, expanding on the popular movie franchise about the children of classic Disney villains.
De La Cruz co-wrote the Heart of Dread trilogy with her husband Michael Johnston and has explored historical fiction with the Alex & Eliza series about Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler. Her Beauchamp Family books, starting with Witches of East End, were adapted into the Lifetime television series of the same name.
