BIG NEWS!! Guess who offered me a job…

Never in my wildest dreams did I think book blogging would ever get me job.  But right after New Years, I got an email offering me a position with…

…wait for it…

…Tor!

Yep.  I couldn’t believe it either.  Tor.com has been expanding their social networking presence by launching satellite Facebook and Twitter profiles that are subgenre specific including Science Fiction, Fantasy, Steampunk, and now Urban Fantasy!

I’ll be posting about everything paranormal in books, movies, TV and more.  Of course I get to spotlight all the great titles and news from Tor and the Macmillan family (and wow are there some great ones coming), but everything else in the world of paranormal publishing and pop culture (and not to worry, I’ll still be blogging away like normal here with Julia on ATUF too).

We’re planning a very cool launch giveaway for both the Facebook Page & on Twitter this week, so click on over and ‘Like’ and ‘Follow’ the new Tor.com Urban Fantasy!
