I’m super-stoked to be longlisted for the 2023 ARA Historical Novel Prize.
I love reading and writing historical fiction!
Thanks to my publishers @hachetteaus
Massive congrats to my fellow longlisters:

Worth $100,000 in prize monies, the ARA Historical Novel Prize is the richest genre-based literary award in Australasia. It incorporates both an Adult category and a Children and Young Adult (CYA) category.
The Prize is a true celebration of historical fiction, and a real opportunity to foster the genre on a grander scale.
