The FFANZ administrators, Dan Rabarts (NZ) and Edwina Harvey (AUS) are very pleased to announce that we have a nominee for the 2015 FFANZ trip from Australia to New Zealand. Voting is now open for David McDonald, Australian fan and writer, to attend Reconnaissance, in Rotorua, Easter 2015.
This is David’s platform:
David McDonald is a Melbourne based writer who edits a magazine for an international welfare organisation. When not on a computer or reading a book, he divides his time between helping run a local cricket club and working on his novel. In 2013 he won the Ditmar Award for Best New Talent, and in 2014 won the William J. Atheling Jr. Award for Criticism or Review and was shortlisted for the WSFA Small Press Award. His short fiction has appeared in anthologies such as The Lone Ranger Chronicles from Moonstone Books and Epilogue from Fablecroft Publishing.
