>The Binnacle Ultra-shorts

>The finalists for The Binnacle Ultra-short Competition have been announced. For the third straight year, I’ve managed to place a piece on that list. This one is “Headlong” and it will be included in the 2008 Utra-short edition. The prize winners are due to be announced in the next day or two, but I’m just pleased to be among the finalists.

  1. >Congratulations, Cliff! I’m also delighted to have made it through for the second year running, especially since I received the astonishingly gorgeous Ultra-Short edition with last year’s stories last week, so impressed. Looking forward to reading your ultra-short story.

  2. >Yes, congratulations, Tania! (Of course it will be a year before we get to see this year’s edition, but something to look forward to, eh?)
