“She thought of Nate, his hand closing on hers as he died, bloody, on her lap. She thought of Jem again, the way he never railed against his fate but faced it down bravely; she thought of Charlotte, who wept over Jessamine’s death , though Jessie had betrayed her; and she thought of Will, who had laid down his heart for her and Jem to walk upon because he loved them more than he loves himself. There was human goodness in the world, she thought-all caught up with desires and dreams, regrets and bitterness, resentments and powers, but it was there, and Mortmain would never see it.”
- Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare (via likehanselandgretel)

Friends, I am excited. As you may know, I have been working on a series called THE BANE CHRONICLES, based on Cassie Clare’s books—specifically, on the adventures of Magnus Bane.

My first offering in the series, THE RUNAWAY QUEEN, is NOW OUT.

It has everything a story really requires: Revolutionary Paris, a hot air balloon, great clothes, huge wigs, moving furniture, dashing counts, and a monkey. Oh, and the queen. And some vampires. And other stuff.

YOU MIGHT LIKE IT.
