The Australian science fiction community generously presents two different major sets of science fiction awards each year: the Aurealis Awards and the Ditmar Awards. The Aurealis Awards were presented earlier this year, and the final nominations for the Ditmars have just been announced. I was genuinely surprised, and very grateful, to be nominated. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to be in Tasmania when the awards are presented, but I wish everyone nominated the best of luck, and would like to thank everyone who nominated me.
