WotF Golden Pen winner 2016
So this happened.
Not only that, but my illustrator, Adrian Massaro, won the Golden Brush award--the first time in contest history that one story has won both awards.

Absolutely delighted to announce that I've been shortlisted for the 2016 James White Award for best new writer, supported by the British Science Fiction Association and Interzone. The winner should be announced around 18:00 GMT on Saturday 26th March at Mancunicon; the prize is publication in Interzone, which is huge--it's pretty much the only British SF magazine left standing, and is one of the most respected and reputable venues in the field.
Suffice to say: I am full of excitement.

The doorbell rings.
"Hello? Anybody home?"
A woman's voice. Well-spoken, which worries me; in this area, anyone with an education is some kind of official.
I'm lying on the sofa and my mind's fluttering back and forth, settling on memories from before Shaun got ill.
