As I described in an earlier blog the Indie Award is chosen by independent Australian booksellers. There are four categories, with a winner in each category to be voted upon by the member booksellers. There will then be an overall Book of the year selected.
The short list has now been announced to the public and is as follows.
Debut Fiction:
The Old School by PM Newton
Rocks in the Belly by Jon Bauer
Book of Lost Threads by Tess Evans
The Legacy by Kirsten Tranter

Bereft by Chris Womersley

When the winners of each category are announced and from that the overall winner chosen, we will blog again.
