Collision Wins Aurealis Award for Best Collection, 2019.

ByJSB

It’s true! In case you don’t believe me, here is the picture of the trophy, along with my Shirley Jackson Award nominee stone. Couldn’t be more grateful to the Aurealis Award Committee, and all the folks who had a hand in Collision’s success, from (especially) my wonderful agent, Matt Bialer, to Meerkat Press for getting behind it more ways than I can say, and all the readers who weighed in with helpful suggestions, and the publishers who picked a bunch them up over the last few years. Friends too, who’ve cheered me on when the going got dire. And mainly my family. I need them to be able do this.
