2010 Aurealis Awards Shortlist

Five Wounds is one of the shortlisted titles in the 'Best Illustrated Book / Graphic Novel' category in the 2010 Aurealis Awards for Australian Speculative Fiction. The other shortlisted candidates for this category include Nicki Greenberg and Justin Randall (fellow guests on 3CR's The Comic Spot). Good luck to all the other authors shortlisted for all the various categories, some of whom I met recently at the Worldcon in Melbourne or the Sydney Freecon.

Sydney Freecon, 19-21 November 2010

This weekend I shall be participating in the Sydney Freecon, organised by Garry Dalrymple of the Sydney Futurians. There will be several events featuring local science-fiction / fantasy / horror writers, all taking place in Bankstown public library or nearby. As the name implies, there is no charge for attendance.

I shall be there on Friday evening (when I shall be giving a short reading) and Saturday afternoon (when I might possibly be available for a 'kaffeeklatsch' open discussion with other attendees, depending on interest).

The current draft programme is here.
