Update: Sadly, James Fitzgerald has passed away
I was shocked to learn that my agent, James Fitzgerald, died on Dec. 28, 2019. I don't know the details, but I read it in an online newsletter, Publishers Lunch, and it was confirmed by an auto-reply to my email. His daughter is handling royalty disbursements and other inquiries, but I believe that the death was sudden, and she must be reeling from it. QueryTracker noted Jim's passing in its listings.
Jim's agency was basically a one-man show, so I don't know what will happen next, but as Query Tracker noted, the agency is closed to submissions. I didn't have a chance to meet him in person, but he was supportive of my work in his own unique way and a straightforward, honest guy. It is a loss to publishing.
