A Collection of Ten Short Stories centred around Magnus Bane. Each short story is going to be published as an ebook followed by a Full Single Print Coming 2014
Ever wondered about the enigmatic, mysterious warlock Magnus Bane? The only character to appear in every Shadowhunter book, Magnus has a past even more shrouded in mystery than his present. I’ve teamed up with acclaimed YA writers Maureen Johnson and Sarah Rees Brennan to create the Bane Chronicles, the back (and front) story of Magnus told in ten linked tales.
Look for short stories like Vampires, Scones and Edmund Herondale; The Rise and Fall of the Hotel Dumort; Saving Raphael Santiago and What To Buy The Shadowhunter Who Has Everything (And Who You’re Not Officially Dating Anyway). Each story will be available as an ebook on a monthly basis starting April 16 with the tale of What Happened In Peru.
Each story will be released monthly online for the next ten months — and then for those who don’t read e-books, the full print collection will be available in bookstores and wherever else books are sold after the Chronicles have been finished.

Cover Note: The cover you see is the placeholder art for the Bane Chronicles. It isn’t the final cover, because they have to shoot a model for that, but it’s Magnus’ wizardy hand shooting blue fire, so that’s something!
MAGNUS BANE. Enough said. ;)
Really. If you know Magnus, then you'll know why I'm so anxious to get my hands on this book. It goes beyond wanting to find out why he's banned from Peru, although I'm very anxious to find out why. Before there was Jace, Clary, Will, Tessa and Jem, there was Magnus. There is so much about Magnus we don't know, and I'm most excited to get to know him more.
- Starting on April 16th, a new portion of the book will be e-book released each month for the next 9 months for $2.99 on Amazon.
- In 2014 we'll be able to purchase the printed edition.
