To me it looked like some fabulous supernatural battle had been fought there by beings who’d left their footprints behind. She wanted to show me that her footprints were on the ceiling in black paint - in fact the footprints of everyone who’d worked there were on the ceiling, crisscrossing each other and making patterns. I was with a good friend of mine, who was taking me to see the tattoo shop where she used to work. The idea for the Mortal Instruments came to me one afternoon in the East Village. *** I'm very excited to announce my first adult high fantasy book, Sword Catcher, out 9/2021! Swords, intrigue, magic, explosions! There will be lots more on this later, but for now you can add it to your Goodreads: There really isn’t much info about it online because it’s unscheduled, but it’s coming. The first book isn’t scheduled yet, but will come after Sword Catcher, the Last Hours, and the second Eldest Curses book. The Shadowhunter Chronicles is intended to wrap up permanently with an installment called The Wicked Powers. The Black Volume of the Dead ( The Eldest Curses: 3) to be announced The Lost Book of The White (The Eldest Curses: 2) published on September 1, 2020 The Red Scrolls of Magic (The Eldest Curses: 1) published on April 9, 2019

The Eldest Curses: follows the adventures of Magnus and Alec, written with Wesley Chu. The Last Hours, the sequel series to The Infernal Devices, will be published over the next couple of years. It’s about the children of the Infernal Devices characters.Ĭhain of Gold (The Last Hours 1) published on March 3, 2020Ĭhain of Iron (The Last Hours 2) published March 2, 2021Ĭhain of Thorns (The Last Hours 3) to be announced I hope you are all as well as you can be. This pandemic has touched us all in different ways. Other books will not be scheduled until the pandemic is over. Sword Catcher** either late 2022, or early 2023. However with all these unforeseen delays, and the difficulty of writing while unable doing the normal things like research, Chain of Thorns and Sword Catcher are coming out later than planned.Ĭhain of Thorns will come out 2022. I thought that by this time I’d have an idea of the publishing dates for upcoming books like The Wicked Powers and The Black Volume of the Dead.

Like every industry in the world, publishing has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic- printer shortages, changing work environments, distribution delays, and more.
