Bear with me as I make my first foray into the livejournal community. I am a new author with Ace, currently working on an Urban Fantasy series with a forensic theme. My first novel, NIGHT CHILD, will be published as an original mass-market paperback in the Spring of 2008, with the sequel, HEXTACY, following in 2009.
I'm also a new professor. As of August of 2007, I'll be a postdoctoral research fellow at the City University of New York, developing an academic book on the emergence of gay and lesbian teen literature. I'll be teaching in the department of Film and Media Studies at CUNY-Hunter College, and living in Brooklyn (oddly enough, that makes me the only Ace writer who actually lives in New York). My editor is Ginjer Buchanan, and my agent is Lauren Abramo of Dystel and Goderich Literary Management.
I have published two other academic books:
NIGHT CHILD is my first novel, and I'll post a cover image as soon as it's available. For more information on my other projects, visit my website: here

My sister would be most interested in the Blood Relations book, I'll have to see about getting it for her. :)
LJ's actually a great place to start networking and such. Should help get the buzz out about your book. I'm sure some of the other folks will have good advice for you too, that's my meager input.
I also like the avatar! (And good choice to pick the short haired Flack rather than the season 1 gigolo flack.)
We'll have to chat.

Looking forward to your book.
