This is super awesome - big kudos, Scifi is passion of mine. Can I endlessly PM you about books I like

Super-Congrats, Michael! I'm an editor too… of stuff not so far from SF & Fantasy...

Thanks everyone, it's been a great week and I'm stoked to get started.

I just landed my first job after graduating.  I am a senior research associate for a waste-to-energy company.  I essentailly serve as a consulting scientist, and I run/manage specific research and development projects at the company.

Kudos on the new job michael.  Like Hectic, I am a big fantasy fan, so I would be glad to hear more about what you are editing, etc!

Congrat! It's a good week for new jobs.

It's early days for me yet, but when we get started I'll be bigging up the new books until you're all sick of me.

Giles, do you like Lee Child? I've got a proof of the recently released one I can send you for the plane. Or how about Mercy by Jussi Adler-Olsen?

If you fancy some SF, I'll send you a few things you might like.

[Giles]

I am in your capable hands

[michaeljcr]

I'll send you a mix of stuff.

[Giles]

Michael is far to modest to post this.  So i will:

"Michael is recognised as being one of the best in the business and it is a real pleasure to provide a home for him to develop a subject he so clearly loves. His astute understanding of the sf and fantasy audience will help shape an exciting, innovative and profitable list."

Boom!..
