Awards Eligibility 2024
I have two short stories eligible for award nominations this year and I would be delighted if you’d consider nominating or voting for them, particularly for the Aurora Awards (as I’m Canadian)!
I Met My Wife in the Woods (around 1,300 words)
Published July 2024 from Heartlines Spec; dark fantasy
Mentioned in Reactor magazine by Alex Brown, who called it “an impressive debut”:
 | This is a short story of a woman describing how she met her wife, and the narrator seems to be confused as she goes. Featuring an unreliable narrator, a sapphic love story and some creepy storytelling. Read online here: https://www.heartlines-spec.com/i-met-my-wife-in-the-woods/ |
Ruby Tips to Her Feathers (around 1,200 words)
Published November 2024 in Goblincore from Prairie Soul Press; dark fantasy
 | This is another sapphic love story featuring a witch of the woods and her harpy wife. The witch finds a child in her woods, and gives her a choice she can’t come back from.
