Prize Winning Short Story On My Site

I know I promised this ages ago, but honestly, I’ve been flat out! This writing course I’m doing is fantastic, but very time consuming. Add to that the fact that I’m trying to run my business as well, and you’ll understand why it’s been so hard to get back here. Plus, the weather has been super hot, and I couldn’t even turn on my computer for about three days.

But I’ve put ‘Sophie’s Rose’, the first prize winner in the Fellowship of Australian Writers (Vic) 2006 National Literary Award on my site now. You can read it here

I’ve included some notes about how I came up with the idea and what I wanted to achieve.

So happy reading!

Oh by the way, the young adult novel is coming along nicely. It’s so good to have goals for one thing, and a mentor/teacher reading your work for another. This is going to be the best thing I ever did for my writing career.

    I always meant to come back and read this story when I had time and tonight I did. It’s fantastic. I enjoyed the story and I admired some of the phrasing. Thanks for posting it.
