From The Age:
"Glynis Osborne has not only won second place and $2000 in the Age short-story competition for 'The Feeder', but another of her stories, 'Mermaid Footwear,' was one of two commended by the judges. … {As a new mother,] Osborne did most of her writing in the small hours after she had woken up to feed [her son] and then found her mind still racing. "I really wanted to keep a part of my old life alive, the pre-mother me," she says. "Lots of women have said that they had a huge burst of creativity after their children were born."
You go, girl! I can't get enough of these stories and am so grateful that mothers' work in the literary world is finally getting the attention and respect it deserves.
