Her work has been translated into 27 languages worldwide.
Cassandra Claire is a New York City-based writer whose dark fantasy YA novel, City of Bones, is due out from Simon and Schuster in Spring 2007. City of Bones is the first in a planned trilogy titled Mortal Instruments. It is her first novel.
Justine Larbalestier was born in Sydney and has spent the majority of her life there. Her first book was the Hugo-nominated Battle Of the Sexes in Science Fiction (Wesleyan University Press, 2002). She has published two novels, Magic or Madness (Penguin/Razorbill, 2005), and its sequel Magic Lessons (Penguin/Razorbill, 2006). The final book in the trilogy will be out in March 2007. Magic or Madness has been nominated for an Aurealis Award for best Australian YA book of the year and was a best book of the year selection for SLJ, Tayshas (the Young Adult Round Table of the Texas Libary Association), and the Australian children's literature magazine, Magpies.
