The Shortlist for the Francis Mac Manus Awards has been announced here and I'm thrilled skinny that my story "The Every Day Woman" made the list!

The results will be announced on on a special edition of Arts Tonight with Vincent Woods on RTE Radio 1 on Monday 16th May at 10pm. All the shortlisted stories will be broadcast on RTE Radio 1 beginning with the winning story on Monday 6th June at 11.10pm (The Book on One Slot) so I'm looking forward to hearing it on the airways.
