For anyone who has missed it, the Muppets are embarking on a bit of a renaissance on YouTube: MuppetsStudio's Channel. I cannot, personally, recommend Beaker's "Ode to Joy" highly enough.
Because I missed commenting in the appropriate thread - choosing an A__ name is a great move. I used to work in a mid size independent bookstore. I discovered your books when the paperback to Melusine came out, loved it and recommended it to everyone I could. But I had the hardest time trying to rearrange the shelves to keep the M's somewhere from the very bottom row of shelving.
With your new Addison moniker, it will have a good chance of catching someone's eye. Tor seems to pick a good roster of authors. Hope the relationship works out better than with Ace.
Also, as a bookseller, and trying hard to hand sell the unusual books that I love, I did find it harder to get people to try something new, than the newest "Wheel of Time" action packed writer. Blah!
The Bonekey somehow was a much easier hand sell. Maybe suspense readers are more willing to try new things.
