As aforesaid, these are events for Cassandra Clare, and I will be there for the purpose of teasing the redheaded moppet asking her very appropriate and insightful questions. Ahem. But I will be there, should you a) wish me to ask Cassie an appropriate and insightful question for you! b) want me to sign something or c) wish to collect the first few chapters of Unspoken, which I will be giving out.

For my edits of Unspoken are handed in, which is a very pleasing thing! Never has my ass been so kicked as regards edits, which is also a very pleasing thing, because with luck it means the product will be commensurately awesome. And it means I feel a step closer to getting the book to you all. I am now in the midst of rewriting bits of the sequel, Unbound, to make it fit for my editor’s eyes, and I am going to start blogging on Gothics and Lady Sleuths soon. I am so freaking excited for people to meet Kami and Jared and Angela and Holly and Ash. I cannot even say.
