Fleur edited the overview of Cassandra Clare Saturday, November 19, 2011.
- Cassandra Clare was born to American parents in Teheran, Iran and spent much of her childhood travelling the world with her family, including one trek through the Himalayas as a toddler where she spent a month living in her father’s backpack. She lived in France, England and Switzerland before she was ten years old. Since her family moved around so much she found familiarity in books and went everywhere with a book under her arm. She spent her high school years in Los Angeles where she used to write stories to amuse her classmates, including an epic novel called “The Beautiful Cassandra” based on a Jane Austen short story of the same name (and which later inspired her current pen name).
  After college, Cassie lived in Los Angeles and New York where she worked at various entertainment magazines and even some rather suspect tabloids where she reported on Brad and Angelina’s world travels and Britney Spears’ wardrobe malfunctions. She started working on her YA novel, City of Bones, in 2004, inspired by the urban landscape of Manhattan, her favourite city. She turned to writing fantasy fiction full time in 2006 and hopes never to have to write about Paris Hilton again.
  Cassie’s first professional writing sale was a short story called “The Girl’s Guide to Defeating the Dark Lord” in a Baen anthology of humor fantasy. Cassie hates working at home alone because she always gets distracted by reality TV shows and the antics of her two cats, so she usually sets out to write in local coffee shops and restaurants. She likes to work in the company of her friends, who see that she sticks to her deadlines.
  City of Bones was her first novel.

melanie w edited the summary of Cassandra Clare Tuesday, May 3, 2011.
- from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra_Clare
  Cassandra Clare is the pseudonym of the bestselling author of the young adult trilogy The Mortal Instruments. Cassandra Clare was born to American parents in Tehran. She lived in France, England and Switzerland before she was ten years old. From her high school years on, she lived in Los Angeles and New York where she worked at various entertainment magazines and tabloids. She started working on her novel City of Bones in 2004, inspired by the urban landscape of Manhattan.
  
  Prior to the publishing of City of Bones, Clare was known for writing fan fiction under the similar pseudonym Cassandra Claire. Her main works were The Draco Trilogy (Harry Potter) and The Very Secret Diaries (The Lord of the Rings). Claire was considered a Big Name Fan and was covered in several newspaper articles about fan fiction: The Draco Trilogy was described by The Times as a "gem of such superlative quality that it enhances one's appreciation of the Harry Potter series" and The Daily Telegraph called The Very Secret Diaries a "cult classic". Even in light of these praises, she was reportedly been accused of plagiarism from within the fan fiction community.
  
  Clare took part of her pseudonym from The Beautifull Cassandra, on which she had based an epic novel during high school. She is friends with another Harry Potter Big Name Fan Sarah Rees Brennan, who also writes in the young-adult genre.
