I wrote a little piece about my #aurealisawards win last week - short and sweet, just like me.

I authored Resembling Lepus, sure, but it does take a village. The editor, the publisher, the fellow authors who supported and blurbed and kicked my arse to get on a plane and go in person. I have a great village and got to meet a couple of its denizens in person that night. Still elated 🖤☺️

Tl;dr: If they ask you to write a speech, write a goddamned speech 😅

The 2022 Aurealis Awards were presented last night.

For those of you unfamiliar with them, they are Australia's premier juried award for speculative fiction. I had the great honour of judging the Best Fantasy Novel panel.

Congratulations to all the winners!

The Not So Chosen One, shortlisted in the 2023 Aurealis Awards, is young adult fiction by Kate Emery, with a Hogwarts like school of magic in Perth, Australia, and a student maybe more sarcastic than magic.
