A truly busy day today for me - up early for a massage for this darn neck thing and then a Swancon 36 meeting for much of the day. The committee tell me we made great progress and locked down lots of decisions. Then
catundra and I had our first sewing bee. She showed me her sewing machine and taught me a few things and now I am itching to take my mother's machine out for a spin.
So I kinda missed a lot of this:
Aurealis Awards Shortlists have been announced.
I've absolutely excited and blown away at the nods to Twelfth Planet Press, with finalists in:
Best fantasy novel - Horn
Best fantasy short story - Siren Beat
Best horror novel - Horn
Best anthology - New Ceres Nights
Best collection - A Book of Endings
Best YA short story - "Like Us"
Best YA short story - "Paper Dragons"
Having judged on awards panels, I think it's an enormous honour and recognition to make the shortlist and am utterly delighted!
And will be sad to miss the ceremony but my sister is due to give birth that week and I'm staying home for that.
