News

Hello, <<First Name>>!
 

I hope you’re all hanging in there during this extremely difficult and stressful time, and I hope that you are able to be kind to yourself during it. This is a hard time to be doing many, many of the activities that ordinarily make up our lives, and it is a hard time to be creating, whether what you create is art or music or fiction, or education and entertainment for your kids, or cloth masks for those who need them, or dinner for your family. As a writer, one thing that has been on my mind a lot is the importance of art, both creating it and experiencing it. Art and literature provide us with ways to navigate the world and make meaning from it, and that is important in times of upheaval, mourning and uncertainty. So I encourage all of you who are readers of my newsletter not to judge yourself too harshly when you are creating or reading or listening to music during this time — practice self-care, appreciate your own voice, and show the kindness to yourself you would to others. 

Speaking of the power of the creative voice, now is a great time to uplift Black writers by buying (or taking out of the library!) books by Black authors — Teen Vogue has done a great roundup, with a focus on fiction both adult and young adult.

Exclusive Excerpt from Lost Book of the White:

 

Clary suddenly grabbed his arm and said, in a quiet but intense tone, “I need to talk to you for a moment.”

Magnus regarded her. It was so strange to see her now, a proper adult. For years, she had been a quiet, wide-eyed child whom he’d met over and over for the first time. She knew nothing of the Shadow World—and it had been Magnus’s job to make sure that remained true. And so when her mother would bring her over, she always had the same reaction—awe, uncertainty. Each time, she noticed his eyes, luminous and slit-pupiled—each time, he expected her to be frightened, but she was only ever curious. When she got old enough, she would ask him, “Why do you have cat eyes?” He got to try out plenty of responses.

“I traded them with my cat. Now he has human eyes.”

“The better to see you with, my dear.”

“Why do you not have cat eyes?”

It was strange to know that Clary didn’t share those memories.

To have watched someone grow up without them remembering it. Until, of course, the day he saw her at Chairman Meow’s birthday party, surrounded by New York’s Shadowhunters, and without warning, transformed into the warrior she had been born to be, already the spitting image of Jocelyn at her age.

Now she looked uneasy, as though she was thinking about how to deliver bad news. A few years ago she would just have blurted it out, but now she was his friend and she was concerned about his feelings. It was nice, but strange.

She said, “I had a dream about you, this morning. Just before Alec’s call woke us up.”

XOXO,
Cassie
