Colleen Lindsay, who recently joined FinePrint Literary Management as an agent (see this article) has signed her first client: Alan DeNiro. Lindsay introduces DeNiro, saying he is “the author of the exquisite short story collection Skinny Dipping in the Lake of the Dead, published in 2006 by Kelly Link and Gavin Grant at Small Beer Press. You can read his entire bibliography here. You can read an interview with DeNiro, conducted by John Scalzi, here. And, lastly, you can download and read a sample of his short stories in this fun-sized PDF file.”
Lindsay says of taking him on, “Alan wrote to me on Tuesday night; by Wednesday night I was halfway through his new novel—a YA-skewed post-apocalyptic contemporary fantasy set in the mid-West—and utterly in love with it. (Yeah, it’s that good.)”
