Exciting news this evening! The Aurealis Award shortlists have been announced and I’m on there… twice!
Debris has been shortlisted for best fantasy novel!
‘Flowers in the Shadow of the Garden’ (from the Hope anthology) has been shortlisted for best science fiction short story. (I’ve started work on a novel based on this short story, which makes me extra happy!)
CONGRATS to everyone on the short lists! The lists are packed full of incredible talent, and I’m absolutely blown away to be there. This calls for a drink and a party! Come join us if you can!
