The list of finalists has been shared far and wide since it was announced, but allow me to add my voice to the collective hooray: 2015 Aurealis Awards – FinalistsĪ Week Without Tuesday, Angelica Banks (Allen & Unwin)Ī Single Stone, Meg McKinlay (Walker Books Australia)īella and the Wandering House, Meg McKinlay (Fremantle Press) It’s also a joy to see so many friends on these shortlists (obviously I’m especially happy to see my partner-in-crime, Angela Slatter, on the Best Novella lists!), and I’m really looking forward to celebrating with everyone at the Awards ceremony in Brisbane on the evening of Friday 25 March (if you’re in town and keen to raise a glass with us, you can book tickets to the event here) and then spending the rest of the weekend at Contact 2016.Īgain, if you’re in Brisbane over Easter weekend, it would be great to see you at the convention - from the looks of things, it’s going to be a rollicking time. A couple of days ago, The Western Australian Science Fiction Foundation (WASFF), organisers of the 2015 Aurealis Awards, were delighted to announce the finalists for the Awards…Īnd, I must say, I was and continue to be delighted to see that three - THREE! - of my short stories have been nominated for awards (two in the Best Horror Short Story category, and one is up for Best Fantasy Short Story).
