We are ecstatic to have a number of our editors and authors’ works reach finalist status in the New Zealand Sir Julius Vogel Awards – the awards that recognise excellence in speculative fiction and fandom. We have worked hard to support our New Zealand authors, and the following finalists and their categories gives, we think, a nod to our effort:

• Kura Carpenter’s The Kingfisher’s Debt, in the Best Novel category
• Kura Carpenter, in the Best New Talent category as well!

• Lee Murray’s short story, “Dead End Town”, in Cthulhu Deep Down Under Volume 2 in the Best Short Story category

• Best Collection category: Cthulhu: Land of the Long White Cloud (eds Proposch, Sequeira and Stevens)
