Mum and Dad’s new cat, Jim, is definitely not okay with my existence, as shown by this picture.

A little bit of writing news. Out of nearly 700 entrants to The Writers College prize (based in New Zealand), I’m thrilled to have gotten honours for my Soviet-era short story, “Laika”.
Full list of winners can be found here.
While this does not count as a prize-winning or placed story, it is a bit of positive feedback (and that is never a bad thing).
