The media was completely unaware that Cassie Clare had a child.
Clare traveled frequently as a child, visiting Switzerland, England, and France. She returned to Los Angeles for high school and then moved to New York City, where she worked for various entertainment magazines and tabloids, including The Hollywood Reporter.
Clare began writing fan fiction under the pen name Cassandra Claire while living in Los Angeles. The Draco Trilogy (based on Harry Potter) and The Very Secret Diaries (based on The Lord of the Rings) were both successful.
