Wow! TangentOnline.com has reviewed Shadowed Realms Issue 11 and this is how they described my story:
Steven Cavanagh's “Finding the Words” took first place in the 2006 Australian Horror Writer Association's Flash Fiction Competition and is easily the most powerful piece in issue 11 of Shadowed Realms. While technically horror, it’s a touching story of a man laying his daughter to rest. Cavanagh’s style is fluid and uses sense imagery to ground the reader in reality. It’s touching and it's tender and it's heartfelt, something I’m not used to seeing in horror.
This should get my motivation back. Something a writer MUST do is disconnect themselves from reviews of their work, but I have a lot of trouble with it.

Hey, the link to your story is even highlighted and bold in the website, that's good.
I just read it for the first time too, I thought it was fantastic and while I can't use the usual literary cliches to describe it I think if you don't complete your bloody novel it would be a tragedy, get writing!
Nice review Steve, and a great story too. It's a pleasure bein' alongside an award winner...
:o)
You're right, the reviews are difficult to separate yourself from, but do so we must. Onwards and upwards!
