Free Ditmar Read - All the Clowns in Clowntown
With little more than a week to go before voting closes for the 2011 Ditmar Awards (22nd April, 2011) I have decided to make my nominated novelette "All the Clowns in Clowntown" temporarily available as a free PDF download.
"All the Clowns in Clowntown" was originally published in the wonderful anthology Macabre: A Journey Through Australia's Darkest Fears (edited by Angela Challis & Dr.Marty Young) from Brimstone Press. It has now been nominated for an Aurealis Award (Fantasy Short Story), an Australian Shadows Award (Short Fiction) and a Ditmar Award (Best Novella or Novelette).
As voting closes on the 22nd of April, and some of you may not have yet voted, I'm offering a full PDF of "All the Clowns in Clowntown" for you to read for a limited time. After 22nd of April, I will be removing this file and it will no longer be available. So, if you are still undecided on which way to cast you Ditmar Award votes, download the story and have a read. If you enjoy the tale, and find it worthy of a vote in the Best Novella or Novelette category, you would make me one very happy author.
You can get yourself a PDF copy of "All the Clowns in Clowntown" at the following address:
