Tim Borella - Author

AHWA Shadows Award

How good to be part of Deb Sheldon’s Shadows Award winning anthology ‘Killer Creatures Down Under’ which took out the Best Edited Work on 7th October 2024. Very cool.
My story, ‘Nineteen Hours on Deep Creek Station’, is one of 19 pulse-quickening tales concerning dangerous antipodean creatures and what they might do to you, given half a chance!
