Alert!

Normally, I'm not a big fan of popularity or beauty contests, but I have to tell you that Gawker has its annual Hotties in Publishing Poll up, and one of my favourite agents is in the running. He is a kind and helpful agent who offers great advice on his blog and on Absolute Write. He also received brownie points from me for mentioning my humble name on his blog. Yes, he did reject Bad Ice, but he was right -- it needed more work at the time. I certainly plan to submit to him in the future. Go, Nathan Bransford!
