Third at Word, ASIM Best of released.

At the HomeWord Festival, World of Hurt won third prize! The reading was a lot of fun, and the audience reacted to me the whole way through, not just polite applause at the end. I was a little nervous because it was an arty crowd and the protag was (my attempt at being) arty.

And my firstborn son has returned! Elf Esteem was my first published story back in Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine Issue 13. It's just been reprinted in ASIM's Best of Fantasy Anthology! A plethora of the best that ASIM has produced, and it's only ten pacific pesos ($AUS)!
