Sylvia Petter

Born in Vienna, I grew up in Australia and after more than 25 years in the Geneva area, am now living in Vienna, Austria. I started writing fiction in 1993, and my poems, articles and stories have appeared in print and on the web. The Past Present, my first collection of short stories, was published in 2000/2001 in paperback and ebook formats by IUMIX, UK. My second collection of stories Back Burning won the IP Picks Best Fiction Prize and was published in 2007 by IP, Australia. My stories also appear in the charity anthologies 100 Stories for Haiti, 50 Stories for Pakistan, A Pint and a Haircut - True Irish Stories and 100 Stories for Queensland.
