I’m posting this press release from SpecFaction, who are hosting and running next year’s Aurealis Awards. Wonderful they have taken up the job, so magnificently managed in previous years by the good folk up in Brisbane. It’s a great cause. I donated my novel Walking the Tree, which can be found in the Dark Fantasy, Horror and Historical novels Bundle.
