Holly Black & Cassandra Clare Q&A

We got a chance to ask bestselling authors Holly Black & Cassandra Clare our little questionnaire. We would give them each a post, but some of their answers play off each other. Enjoy!


1. What's the most random question you can think of? Answer it.

Cassandra: If you could marry a vegetable, which would it be?
Holly: Well if rhubarb is vegetable...
C: Carrot.

2. If 'they' decided to make a movie of your life, which actor would you want to play you?

C: Johnny Depp
H: Robert Downing Jr.

3. If someone suddenly threw a wad of twenty thousand dollars at you, how would you respond?

C: I'd be pleased, but then I'd assume it was a test of moral character. Give 1/2 to charity and get a plane ticket to Australia
H: I'd buy 20 hairless cats and art.

4. When writing some authors plan every detail and others just dive into the book, so are you an outliner or a diver (or a mix)?
C: Outliner, very detailed.
H: Outliner, but seldom do I stick to it.

5. Who pwns everything?


C: Robert Downing Jr.
H: Neil Patrick Harris

6. Can you do the Time Warp?

C: We can.
H: We can.
