Cassie Clare shares 'Magisterium' character description

It's a year away before The Iron Trial by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare comes out, but Cassie took to Tumblr to share some fan art by Cassandra Jean to talk about one of the characters, Callum Hunt.

Tell us description of characters Magisterium to do fan art? I know that Call has an injured leg, Tamara has black hair, but you can go into details?— helenaandsherry
 I guess I can start with Call? I feel odd going into detail without Holly! Call is average height for his age, but one of his legs is shorter than the other. He has had surgeries on it to correct it since he was a child but none of them worked. He leg hurts often; it’s not why he’s a cranky boy, but he is one. He has dark hair and gray eyes. He hates people commenting on his limp, he rides a skateboard sometimes, he once kidnapped a naked mole rat. Here’s Cassandra JP’s interpretation of him: I did realize recently that it’s fall 2013 which means The Iron Trial comes out in one year. Eeek!

Holly Black took to Cassandra Clare's Tumblr to tell us about Project for Awesome. Check out the post below: How cool would it be to have your name in CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE? To get kissed or killed by a character?

"Project for Awesome - Kiss Me/Kill Me

This is Cassie Clare here and I want to tell you about the Project for Awesome.
Well, okay, it’s actually Holly Black posing as Cassie Clare. But Cassie DOES want to tell you about the Project for Awesome. She’s just off in a tropical paradise, so she’s given me her password. I promise to use it only for good! Like Sarah did!
First of all, the Project for Awesome is a charity drive where the YouTube community comes together to raise both awareness and money for charities. It’s been going on every December since 2007, was started by John and Hank Green, and raised over $70,000 last year.

And THIS year, Cassie is doing something special for it.

If you donate $15.00 over here, you will automatically be entered into a pool of names to win what we are calling the GET KISSED OR GET KILLED IN CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE prize. If you win Kiss/Kill, you get, your name in City of Heavenly Fire. You can choose to get kissed or killed, but the person who kisses or kills you will be a surprise!

Whether you win or not, whoever donates 15 to the Project, will get a copy of a beautifully designed piece of short fiction by Cassie and me.

The Project is off to an appropriately awesome start and we’re really excited to be a part of it. From her tropical location, Cassie raises a pink drink with an umbrella in our general direction."

 

How cool would it be to have your name in CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE? To get kissed or killed by a character? If you want a chance of that be sure to donate $15 at the link above and you'll be entered for a chance to win.
