Norma Shortlist!

Very excited to announce that this year’s Norma K Hemming Award for race, gender, sexuality, class and disability in Australian speculative fiction (or as we refer to it on Galactic Suburbia, the NORMA) has released its shortlist, and I am on it along with some very distinguished company. Hooray! The winner will be announced at Continuum in June – luckily I’m already going.

The Shattered City, I have to say, has so far received such a surprising amount of attention considering the conventional wisdom (heh) about middle books of trilogies. *pats little book’s head* I am delighted.
