Her collection, The Bride Price (Ticonderoga, 2013) was nominated for an Aurealis Award and won the 2014 Ditmar for Best Collected Work. More than seventy of her short stories have been published since the turn of the millennium and her 24 awards for writing, editing and art include the Peter McNamara Conveners Award twice for services to Australia’s speculative fiction industry.
