In October 2023, I was thrilled to go to the International Book Festival in Malta to receive the 2023 Plaza Prize (winner, short story category) and read from my story, Hitler's Alligator. I was also delighted to feature in the first Plaza Prizes Anthology.
Pleased to announce that my short story Hitler’s Alligator has won the 2023 Plaza Awards: https://theplazaprizes.com/short-story-8000-max-winners-top-3/. Bring on the awards ceremony in Malta! Judge Roland Watson-Grant described it as "a sweeping, layered tale. Grounded in reality and set in one of history’s most gruesome moments, this darkly comical story offered dual perspectives of man and beast, the capturer and the captured, with such pace, it holds on and never lets go the reader right to the very end".
