Still on the subject of awards, Australia’s juried Aurealis Awards have announced their finalists (PDF). We have a lot of the books in the store.

Congratulations first to Fablecroft who have several books up for prizes:

• One Small Step – Tehani Wessley
• Path of Night – Dirk Flinthart
• Ink Black Magic – Tansy Rayner Roberts
• Focus 2012 – Tehani Wessley
• The Bone Chime Song and Other Stories – Joanne Anderton

The Jo Anderton book is particularly recommended as it is up for Best Collection and stories from it are up for several other awards.

Twelfth Planet Press doesn’t have quite as many finalists, but they do love you because they have made all three books available as a cut-price bundle. The books are:

• Asymmetry – Thoraiya Dyer
• Caution: Contains Small Parts – Kirstyn McDermott
• Trucksong – Andrew Macrae

Individually the books are priced at a total of £11.49, but you can get them all at £7.99. Kirstyn’s book was all over the Locus Recommended Reading List. Bargain, as they say.
