Hello everyone! Just some Q and A's I found that I thought you might be interested in plus... THE AUGUST CITY OF FALLEN ANGELS TEASER! *fan girl squeal*

Jocelyn's green eyes softened. "I did notice he wasn't here, Clary. I just didn't know if you'd want to talk about it."

"I mean," Clary went on doggedly, "do you think there's something Jace could do to *make* you like him?"

"Yes," Jocelyn said. "He could make you happy." She touched Clary's face lightly, and Clary clenched her hand, feeling the bell press into her skin.

"He does make me happy," Clary said. "But he can't control everything in the world, Mom. Other things happen — " she fumbled for words; how could she explain that it wasn't Jace making her unhappy, but what was happening to him, without revealing what that was?

4a) Whose point of view is City of Fallen Angels told from? What about City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire?

City of Fallen Angels, City of Lost Souls, and City of Heavenly Fire are all told from mixed third-person viewpoints. That means some scenes are told from Simon's point of view, some from Clary's, some from Jace's, etc. Much like City of Glass.

3) What are the last three Mortal Instruments books about?

You can find a pretty good description of the plot of Fallen Angels — or at least as much as I'm allowed to say — here. And according to Simon and Schuster's press release:

"In Book 5: City of Lost Souls, the Shadowhunters struggle to piece together their shattered world after a betrayal by one of their own leaves them reeling. In Book 6: City of Heavenly Fire, Jace, Clary and their friends are drawn inexorably into a war that pits Heaven against Hell, angels against demons—a war that threatens to destroy our world entirely if the Shadowhunters can't end it first."

And that's all I'm allowed to say about that. :)

e) What happens in City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire?

Since the fourth book hasn't come out yet, it's a little early to reveal the plots of the ffith and sixth! I will say that the whole second trilogy is outlined and the plot completed; that it is about the further adventures of Clary, Jace, Simon, Isabelle, Alec, Magnus et. al, and that the scale of the challenges they face in the second three books is even greater than those they faced in the first.

f) Will Jace and Clary be in City of Fallen Angels? What about City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire?

When I originally announced that I would be writing City of Fallen Angels, I said that it would "focus more on Simon and how he adjusts to life as a vampire." This set off a flood of rumors that Clary and Jace were not in the fourth book at all, or were only in it peripherally. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Just like the previous books, CoFA shifts through multiple character points of view, including Simon's, Clary's, Jace's, Isabelle's, and even Magnus'. Clary and Jace's relationship, and the challenges they face, are a major plotline in the last three TMI books. There is also a strong plotline for Simon in the later books of the series, in which he is more than an adjunct to the larger drama around Clary and Jace, but this does not detract from attention paid to the other characters.

25) "Do you know what will be on the cover of the next three books?
And if you don't, what ideas do you have and what would you like to be on the cover?"

I don't know. I am also not supposed to talk about it. I will say that the idea of moving toward having two characters on the covers instead of one was discussed.

38) "Is there gonna be a new love interest between Jace and Clary?"

Like "Is someone going to come between them?" Hmmm... in a sense.
