May I introduce...

...my agent.

Bob Mecoy of Creative Book Services (New York, NY) has offered representation.

Bob spent twenty years as editor, senior editor, executive editor and editor-in-chief at various publishers:  Crown Books, Simon & Schuster, Morrow/Avon, NAL, and Dell/Delacorte. As editor he worked with Robert Parker, Sara Paretsky, Patricia Cornwell, Johanna Lindsey, Kathleen Woodiwiss, and many more. He hopped the desk to become an agent in 2003, and currently represents an eclectic stable of authors who write literary and mainstream fiction, as well as mystery, suspense, women's fiction, science fiction and fantasy, and graphic novels. He also represents a wide range of non-fiction writers.


I was introduced to Bob through one of his clients, a long-time friend and fellow fantasy writer, Howard Andrew Jones.
Needless to say, I am thrilled to be working with Bob. The plan is for me to finish the final section of the manuscript, and then it's shopping time.
 
Do you think I sound awfully calm about this? Jaded? Ho-hum?
 
You must not be able to see the big, silly grin on my face. {g}
