Aurealis Awards shortlist
The list of finalists for the 2009 Aurealis Awards has been announced over at http://www.aurealisawards.com/finalists_winners.htm
Very happy to see my short story "The Message" (from Midnight Echo #2) made the grade for Horror Short Story. There's some awesomely stiff competition there, but I'll keep my fingers crossed. Either way, a nomination is in itself a wonderful thing to have achieved.
Congratulations to all the finalists, and I wish everyone the very best. Thanks also to the judges for wading through so many stories too - that must have been an experience in horror all by itself!
