I learned yesterday (and it's been officially announced, so I can share the news) that Anna Genoese has resigned from Tor. :eek: She's decided to move into an entirely different field--forensic discovery in court cases. You can read about it on her blog.

Needless to say, I'm very sad to lose her as our editor, but happy that she's going somewhere that excites her intellectually. I'll keep you all advised as I learn things about who will replace her and whether there will be any future changes to the romance line.

Gosh, that's surprising. But she seems like a girl who likes to get her feet into all kinds of stuff. She's young, bright and versatile. I wish her the best of luck, and many, many pistachio muffins.

Holy cow! That's quite a change, but looks like she has every intention of coming back to Tor some day and maybe keeping her hand in the industry. Thanks for sharing Cathy.

Wow . . . that is totally unexpected . . . totally and completely. Whoa.

Nonetheless, I hope it works out well for her. She seems like a really nice person.:)

I'm glad she is moving into something that excites her.

I'll just go weep into the cover letter I have written, for the book I wrote specifically for that line, which was absolutely taylored to Anna, avoiding all her pet peeves, from months of blog-stalking.

:e2thud:

Just so you all know . . . a replacement editor has been selected and I'm very excited about the person they picked! :hooray: Since other sites are announcing the name, I will too. The new Tor romance editor will be...........drumroll please.............

Good grief. I stay away for a few days and things start happening!!!

I'm sad to hear that Anna Genoese is leaving Tor, but then apparently will be back eventually. However I'm not surprised...as she's a smart young thing and (creak creak go my bones) why when I was her age I liked to move around a bit...it's good for the young uns. :)
I'm sure she'll do well.

Heather Osborn? I don't know anything about her at all, but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough :)

Thanks Cathy.

Cheers, Josie

Anna's a sweetie. She's also a free spirit (get a load of her latest tattoo) and I'm glad she's able to do something she likes, and that she'll be back.

Kinda like me - I've never been able to pin down what I wanted to do with my life. Until I found writing, of course. I swear, reading her posts, sometimes I think that girl is my long-lost vegetarian sister. Especially when she tries her DIY projects.

She had this thing a while ago -she was cleaning her apartment and giving stuff away. I got a package with a bunch of random stuff, including a sparkly tiara! What a riot.

Glad you got a new editor you like Cathy!
