Great news recently. My story All Human Wisdom was awarded first prize in the Hastings Writers’ Room competition, addressing the theme of Missing.

The judges commented:
“The benign setting, contrasting a rural domestic idyll with an unexplained and unexpected disappearance, provides a layered and sustained tension right up to the final line, building a profound and tortuous sense of loss, hope, and longing for resolution that continues far beyond the story.”
Wonderful comment. And a lovely trophy to commemorate my win!
Fantastic news, Dianne. I’m very proud of you and proud to know we are writing colleagues (and friends).
