SF writer Paul Haines, 41, died March 5, 2012 in Melbourne, Australia of cancer.
Haines was an active member of the Australian writing community. He
attended the first Clarion South workshop in 2004, and soon after rose
to prominence in Australia, winning four Ditmar Awards: for best new
talent in 2005, and for best novelella/novelette for ?The Last Days of
Kali Yuga? (2005), ?The Devil in Mr Pussy (Or How I Found God Inside My
Wife)? (2007), and ?Wives? (2009). ?Wives? was also on the Tiptree honor
list, and won an Aurealis Award, as did ?The Last Days of Kali Yuga?
and ?Slices of Life ? a Spot of Liver? (2009). Many of his other stories
were Aurealis and Ditmar nominees.
His collection Doorways for the Dipossessed (2006) won a Sir Julius Vogel Award,
and more of his stories were collected in Slice of Life (2009) and The Last
Days of Kali
Yuga (2011).
Haines was born June 8, 1970 in New Zealand, and was raised in
Auckland. He attended university in Otago, and moved to Australia in the
?90s, where he worked as an information technology consultant. He is
survived by his wife and daughter.
Trist, han rycktes bort ganska ung.
