The administrators of the 2007 Aurealis Awards have announced the nominees for this year’s awards. I’d like to offer my congratulations to Garth Nix and Terry Dowling. Garth’s story from Eclipse One, “Bad Luck, Trouble, Death and Vampire Sex” has been nominated in the Best Young Adult Short Story category, while Terry’s Eclipse One story, “Toother”, has been nominated for Best Horror Short Story. It was a delight and privilege to have the stories in my anthology, and I’m thrilled they’re both up for this national award. Congrats also to all of the other nominees!
