I can't tell you how super-excited I was to find this hiding in my letter box today - my Highly Commended Flash fiction  in the Fellowship of Australian Writers Queensland (FAWQ) magazine, Scope! Thank you to judge Dimity Powell for her thoughtful exposition of the entries. Congratulations to first and second place-getters - Pat Simmons and Christine Johnson  - fantastic stories! Thank you FAWQ for offering this competition.

Hooray! And congratulations on your success. That's marvellous, Debra. Pat Simmons is a friend, so I was just as happy for her as I am for you, too. May there be many more wins.

Debra I received my copy of
Scope today and have just sat down to read it. I feel very honoured to have won this comp and I have to say that having just read your entry I feel even more lucky. I absolutely loved your entry (and I really mean this). As a 'woman of a certain age' my relationship with my hairdresser is a special one as I visit her every week. When she can't be there I feel insecure!

Pat, thank you so much for this commendation - you are too kind! I loved how your story unfolded - the way you personified your character (I won't post a spoiler here!) was divine, and the way the story gently unwrapped was lyrical. A well deserved win :)
