London, 2007
lovingpasttimes asked you:
If we know that in COG Tessa is still alive, will there be an epilogue in Clockwork Princess talking about how her life has been for more than a hundred years?”
——-
I can’t say — but I can say the title of the epilogue is “London, 2007.”

thenerdypotterfangirl asked you:
Can we pleeeease have a snippet involving Will and Tessa at some point? PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAASE!”
Ok, but this is it. No more snippets-on-demand!
——————-
Tessa craned her head back to look at Will. “You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the...

borntofangirl1996 asked you:
Can we get a Gideon/Sophie teaser? Please? I absolutely adored them in CP and can’t wait to see what happens with them in CP2!!!
Gideon touched her cheek, lightly, with the tips of his fingers. “Did you know your name means ‘wisdom’? It was very well-given.”

Movie stuffs
sharetheindie asked you:
Have you cast someone to be simon? If so, who is it? And if you guys haven’t cast anybody yet, Freddie Highmore comes to my mind whenever i’m reading the series. Just an afterthought. :P
Simon’s not cast; don’t look out for Simon casting till mid-July, because of Reasons. (They are good Reasons.) I always think of Freddie Highmore as Jared/Simon from...

The Shadowhunter's Codex
hedgehogjem asked you:
About the Codex, is it going to be based on the Codex that Tessa read or a more modern one with the new inventions and all? Or something completely different?

Attention Institute Directors! Does increased demonic activity in your region mean you’re spending all your time making new Shadowhunters and training them? Don’t you wish you had some...

casting questions
“Hi Cassie! :) So we’ve all been talking about casting news that includes Magnus, Alec, and Simon, but not so much on Hodge, Luke, Jocelyn, and Valentine. I was just going to ask, did any big stars audition for the adult roles?
— s0muchskill ”
For the adult roles, people don’t so much audition. When you’re a younger actor, you tend to have less of a body of work, whereas if...

Shadowhunters & Downworlders: A Mortal Instruments...
Cliff, who does the covers for all the Shadowhunter books, did the cover for this as well — what I love is that he reproduced the Binding Rune from City of Glass for the two hands grasping each other.
mundiemoms:
TMI fans this one is for you! Shadowhunters & Downworlders, A Mortal Instruments Reader, is an upcoming release from Smart Pop Books out this coming January. Edited by Cassie...

covers
“batmaninja asked you: Any ideas for who will be on the cover of City of Heavenly Fire, Clockwork Princess and what the covers will look like for your new series Dark Artifices?”
I actually just got the comp (the close to final draft cover) of Clockwork Princess last week. It’s gorgeous. It may be my favorite of the Clockwork covers, and they are my favorite covers...

writing with Holly
Holly: You can’t write that two characters have a beautiful spiritual relationship.
Me: Why not?
Holly “We have a beautiful spiritual relationship” is code for “we’re going to have sex.”
Me: God, you have a jaundiced view of the world.
Holly: You know I’m right.
Me: *deletes*

Tessa put a hand against the wall as she made her way numbly down the stairs. What had she almost done? What had she nearly told Will?

weliveandbreatheshadowhunters asked: This is just one in hundreds of your messages, but one question (over about sixteen hundred and seventy-two others I have): Why was it "interesting" that someone mentioned Douglas Booth? .... Okay, I lied. Another Q: Who has this Alec's actor previously been in a movie with: Lily, Jamie, or Jemima? X_X ... okay, that is all. Please answer if you can!

Magnus and Alec
an0malia asked you:
Hi, don’t mean to bother you. I was just wondering, I absolutely adored the romance between Alec and Magnus in the books and I was just curious as to whether the romance will be portrayed in the film? It would be such a shame if it’s not :( Well, aside from that, I am pleased with the cast so far and I can’t wait to hear about who else will be in this sure to...
so-emotional asked: What are your thoughts on Jemima as Izzy? Personally, I think she looks a bit young, but if you approve of her then I'm fine with it :) also, will Jamie be dying his hair lighter for Jace? To me, his hair looks more brown than blond... but I think he's a great choice! Definitely has that Jace look of his face.

Clockwork Princess snippet
Will rose slowly to his feet. He could not believe he was doing what he was doing, but it was clear that he was, clear as the silver rim around the black of Jem’s eyes. “If there is a life after this one,” he said, “let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.”
“There will be other lives.” Jem held his hand out, and for a moment, they clasped hands, as they had done during their parabatai ritual,...

More casting stuff, since it's on everyone's mind
tomhiddling asked you:
You should know, once you announce who Alec is, mental breakdown. ONCE YOU ANNOUNCE WHO SIMON IS, MY BODY IS DEAD.
———
I feel you.
I have seen a lot of people be surprised we have a confirmed Alec and Isabelle but not a Simon because Simon’s a more major character. And that does make sense: I think a lot of movie casting is sort of top-down from the highest...

smileymariz asked: Hello, Cassie! With all the thing going on about Alec and stuff, I was wondering if anyone had auditioned for Simon and, maybe, even just a hint, may you please tell me who that is. I am very much in love with this character and I want you to know that I would be eternally grateful to you if Logan Lerman would be casted for this lovable role. I hope that you would be able to reply to this. Please...

I am SO SORRY.
So — I am not going to be able to tell you who Alec is today.
Tweeting “die in a fire” at me is not going to help, though trust me I know why you feel the way you do. I am just as frustrated; I have ripped out all my hair this past hour and now I look like a golf ball.
Basically, I got a call from the studio that Alec and Izzy were confirmed and to go ahead and blog about it. I got...
oprahsleftnipple asked: I keep refreshing your blog waiting for you to post who Alec is XDXDXDXD I'm soooo anxious about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Casting news: Isabelle
This will probably be up on Deadline and all the other good places soon enough, but Sony told me I could spill the news so I AM GOING TO. I’ve been traveling and doing Dark Artifices research in Italy and Vatican City so I wasn’t hiding from y’all, but it is nice to come back with BIG FUN NEWS TO SHARE.
Izzy first.
Our Isabelle is going to be:
Jemima West. She’s...
