I’m delighted to see that Hard Places made the list of finalists for the 2022 Australian Shadows Award for Collected Works. There are so many fine authors, poets, editors and artists among the finalists this year and it’s an honour to be counted among their number. The awards will be announced at a live awards ceremony at Asylumfest in Beechworth on Saturday October 28th, which I’m hopefully going to be able to attend. Fingers crossed for plans not going awry!
