Well slap me with a fish and call me Gilgamesh, for my story “Defy the Grey Kings” from Beneath Ceaseless Skies has just picked up the Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novella. I am pleasantly shocked, and am pleased that my story has been so well received!

Many thanks to the other finalists and to the judges, whose workload seems to grow year by year. If you’re interested in reading this award-winning epistle, click ye here.
