The continuation of Crossfire is Crucible, originally out from Tor in 2004 and 13th on the Locus Award's yearly Best SF Novel rankings, according to ISFDB.
Some Nancy Kress stuff has been offered free a couple of months ago from Phoenix Pick Press, if you picked it up then and think you might be interested in giving her a try.

Yup. My other top favourite is Brian Stableford
(ISFDB,
Wikipedia), who also does very, very good work exploring how the use of genetic engineering would change societal expectations and expressions in various both superficial and fundamental ways, especially in his Biotech Revolution setting (best as short stories and novellas rather than the novel-length expansions I wasn't too impressed with, and many available DRM-free via Wildside Press).
There are other authors who've done work with similar themes whom I like, but Kress and Stableford are the ones who've practically built a good chunk of their careers on it, and have gotten some well-deserved awards.
