SD Harvey Short Story Shortlist

The SD Harvey Short Story award (part of the Ned Kelly Awards of the Crime Writers Association of Australia) short list has been announced:

• Fidget's Farewell, Scott McDermott
• Farewell My Lovelies, Chris Womersley
• Fern's Farwell, Bronwyn Mehan
• Farewell to the shade, Cheryl Rogers
  

You will notice two things here:

1. Each story has "farewell" in the title. This was a requirement of entry. The word "farewell" had to be included in the title, and be reflected in the story. Each year will be a different word.


2. I'm not on the shortlist. This is not for want of entering: My entry was called "Farewell Gift". I won't be posting it to surgebin because:
   
   
   
   1. It's a bit long; and
   
   
   2. I want to tweak it and then resubmit it to more open short story competitions.
