A Win at HISSAC

HISSAC (Highlands and Islands Short Story Award Competition 2008) sent me word, some much hoped for news:

'I am absolutely delighted to let you know that 'BARKEN, MAD SOMETIMES' has won first prize in this year's Annual Highlands and Islands Short Story competition.

It is a brilliant story, and was so from beginning to end, and had all the judges entranced. It fought off stiff competition, but there was little quibbling at the final judges' meeting, and the decision was unanimous.'

Thanks to Vanessa Gebbie who was midwife to this story.
