'My Kitchen My Space' appears in r.kv.r.y.

I read excerpts from My Kitchen My Space at the Lekhana Literary Weekend; the paragraph about the effect the protagonist thinks the teflon coating of the saucepan will have on her children and the final section, where she raises a saucepan to smash it into her mother-in-law's face. 
The story is now out in the remarkable magazine, r.kv.r.y. alongside work from Anthony Doerr (one of my favourite short fiction writers) and Yu-Han Chao.

Shortlisted in the 2012 Mslexia Short Story Competition

Woo hoo!!



Here's the letter from the Mslexia short story competition stating that 'The Boil' was one of fifty  shortlisted entries from among a large number. 

In 2010, 'Should I Weep', which is published in Eclectica, was shortlisted for the Mslexia competition themed Into the Deep.
