A GEEKTASTIC Note From CASSANDRA CLARE

Cassandra Clare is the author of the bestselling Mortal Instruments Trilogy. The final book in this series, City of Glass, comes out later this month on March 24th. She is currently working on her next trilogy, The Infernal Devices. Here she writes about the upcoming release of an anthology she wrote for, suitably titled Geektastic.

"Hey, Just wanted to drop a line to tell you guys about a short story I wrote for an anthology called Geektastic. I'm lucky to be in it because it has some of the best YA writers out there contributing stories about their nerdy and geeky passions — Libba Bray writes about the Rocky Horror Picture show, and Holly Black and Cecil Castelucci about the love of a Jedi and a Klingon, and the whole thing is illustrated by awesome comic shorts by Hope Larson and Bryan Lee O’Malley of the Scott Pilgrim comics. My story is called "I Never" and it's about what happens when online role-players in a big online RPG meet for the first time in real life and no one turns out to be like their online persona. You can read an excerpt from the story here:

I hope you'll check out the book in all its geeky glory!
