From the independent.com:
American actress and singer Hilary Duff is set to publish a series of young adult novels, announced publisher Simon & Schuster on March 9. The first novel in the series, Elixir, will be published in hardcover in October 2010.
Elixir will reportedly combine "the overpowering allure of a dangerous love triangle with thrilling international adventure." The story will focus on Clea Raymond, a young photojournalist, who travels the globe to unravel a centuries-old mystery.
Says Duff, "I've always loved the escape of a great book, especially one that features a strong, inspiring female character you feel you really understand, someone who could be you, but living a more fascinating life. I'm hoping Elixir will be that kind of book-a novel that will transport readers and open new worlds for them."

In the nine years since Disney first introducedHilary Duff to the world in "Lizzie McGuire,"she has taken part in pretty much every different form of entertainment that there is. From TV, she went to movies, and then recorded several multi-platinum albums before returning to movies and most recently TV. But enough is never enough for Hilary, it seems, because now she has found a new realm to conquer.

We just got word today that Hilary has signed with Simon & Schuster to release a young adult fiction series, as well as a nonfiction title. The fiction series move seems to follow the trend ofLauren Conrad, who not only released a successful novel, "L.A. Candy," but also got a film deal out of it.
The nonfiction book is a little bit different. The press release said it won't be a biography but rather a work about the challenges faced by children of divorce, of which Hilary is. The book is slated to be released in spring 2012.
But the fiction series is what really caught our eye. The first book is called "Elixir," and is going to be published in October of this year. This is what the press release has to say about the book:
"Elixir" combines the overpowering allure of a dangerous love triangle with thrilling international adventure. Clea Raymond is a talented young photojournalist who has spent her entire life in the spotlight as the daughter of a Washington politician and a renowned surgeon. Haunted by the strange appearance of a mysterious young man in her photographs, Clea travels the globe with her best friends, Rayna and Ben, in a race against time to unravel a centuries-old mystery that could unlock the key to her soulmates true identity and the secret of her fathers disappearance and ultimately save all their lives.
