The Australian Horror Writers Association has announced the finalists for the 2012 Australian Shadow Awards, and what a great list it is! Lots of friends on there, and I am particularly delighted to see my mentor, Jason Fischer, listed. And, The Corpse Rat King is a book whose success I have followed with interest as I was one of the beta readers.
