CWA Celebrations-Day 19, Interview & Giveaway with Will

Today's CWA post is our character interview with Will from Clockwork Angel. If you loved Jace in TMI, wait till you meet Will. There's something about Will's character that's hidden in CWA, and I'm looking forward to finding out what that is. He's definitely a character many Cassie fans will love.

Who's your favorite author?

I haven't time to spend reading, but very well, I'll say Mr. Wilkie Collins. He writes of lost treasure, family secrets, ghosts and adventure, though I'd wager if the man ever saw a real ghost he'd faint on the spot.

What do you find as your most enduring characteristic?

What a peculiar question. I'd say my charm, but I'm afraid I might find few who would support my claim.

What is your greatest fear and why?

Demox pox. Have you ever seen what happens to someone with demon pox? First it lies dormant. Then one begins to turn yellow and green. Then the swelling sets in —

Jem: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DEMON POX.

Not to be outdone by Tessa, Jem & Magnus, Will is giving away our last Clockwork Angel book, along with a CWA poster.
