A STORY IN MERIDIAN
I have just received my copies of Meridian with my story Twilight Sky Things and I'm excited.
I've been tardy with letting everyone know that I'll not be able to attend the AWP this year (I was on a panel and I am hoping that I'll be forgiven for this bombshell--drama-at-home has made my attendance impossible). However if you are there do drop by the Meridian table and have a look! There's nothing so amazing as seeing all the wonderful journals and their editors all in the one place. I know registration is sold out but if you are there...
This story first appeared in Best Australian Short Stories 2005 after Frank Moorhouse rang and asked if he could have the story for the anthology. It had been runner-up at the Josephine Ulrick Awards that year (I won the following year with another story). I sent him the story but it was a revised version and he said -- Could he have the older version with which he'd fallen in love (What a buzz that compliment created).
So I was really stoked when Meridian wanted the piece which had gone through another few incarnations.
