Cassandra Clare answers questions about Emma Carstairs character and dating history

Here is a copy of a recent post from here about Emma Carstairs, the protagonist in Cassandra Clare's new book series, The Dark Artifices:

In the Dark Artifices, what kind of dating history Emma will have? I know that Tessa and Clary had little to know experience in dating, but when you described Emma she sounded more like Jace then any of your other characters, so I was wondering whether she would have some ex-boyfriends or current boyfriends when the book starts.
Poor Tessa! One really couldn’t “date” in the Victorian period. Fortunately she is more than making up for it in CP. So yes, Clary and Tessa, both no dating experience, but Emma has both past and perhaps current boyfriends when the book starts. Who can say? She does threaten a vampire that she is going to turn him into a heap of ashes and use it to stuff a teddy bear for her boyfriend with, but perhaps she’s just talkin’.
