Year's Best Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy #4

[andrewmck]

Working in the bookshop today and picked up a copy of Bill Congreve and Michelle Marquardt's "Year's Best Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy #4" to read during those dull moments.

I was reading the introduction when I was very pleasantly surprised to find the line:

"'Shadowplays', edited and published by Elise Bunter, has strong works by Brendan D.Carson, George Ivanoff, Penelope Love and Andrew J.McKiernan."

Not too bad for my first publised story ever! :)

UPDATE: And I just noticed that my story "Calliope: A Steam Romance" made the '2007 Recommended Reading List' in the back of the book too!
