Christine M. Cohen’s first day at the Virginia Kidd Agency was solely the work of her “unofficial godfather” and mentor, former agency president James Allen, who recruited her out of college in 1998. Her first phone call on the job was from a “a lovely gentleman by the name of Harlan Ellison.” Harlan, known to be a “bit of a character,” and frequent Milford visitor was quite notorious—case in point the time he took on the entire Milford Diner in a fistfight.  Her love of dark fantasy, horror, and mystery is heightened by her work within the walls of Arrowhead, the house Virginia Kidd and James Blish bought in Milford Pa in the 1950s, and within whose walls she dwells, working to preserve the rich history of speculative fiction in Milford. The agency and a few rescue cats still roam the halls of the old house. On the best days, its authors do too.
