Aurealis Award Nominations

by on Mar.22, 2011, under Awards, My Writing, Writing

I’m really excited Inksucker has been shortlisted for an Aurealis Award in the YA Short Story category.  The story was originally published in Worlds Next Door, an anthology edited by Tehani Wessely.

It’s also great that a bunch of my fellow students (plus teachers) from Clarion South, along with some other writing friends, have been nominated as well.  It’s wonderful to be in the same company as the other nominated writers.  Just two years ago I attended the awards ceremony, as part of my time as Clarion.  Now to be a finalist is especially rewarding.

The complete list of the finalists.

Aidan Green Has Been Stealing My Stories

by on Feb.26, 2011, under My Writing, Writing

Tangent Online has put out their recommended reading list for 2010

http://www.tangentonline.com/news-mainmenu-158

One of my fellow Clarionites, L.Hannett gets a mention for her Commonplace Sacrifices.

Hokkaido Green gets a 3-star mention.

“Hokkaido Green,” by Aidan Green (Strange Horizons, 11/10) F*** (CS)

First someone translates the story into Mandarin without my permission.  Now this Aidan Green has been stealing my stories. :-)

I emailed the editors and informed them that although I was fond of the color green, I hadn’t considered changing my name yet. So perhaps they will update the list soon.

The Australian Shadow Horror Award Finalists have also been recently announced.  Another member of Clarion South 2009, Angela Slatter is shortlisted for her collection The Girl With No Hands and her short story Brisneyland By Night.
