      <image:caption>I Got His Blood On Me (2012) won the NZSA Hubert Church Award for Best First Book of Fiction at the NZ Post Book Awards. My short fiction has also appeared in Sport, Landfall, Overland, and on Radio New Zealand. Cover design: Michael Lewis. Cover Illustration: Kōtuku Titihuia Nuttall. “There's a Cormac McCarthy-esque concision to the language, and Patchett's heroes share a similar outback fortitude and silence, and a respect for the momentousness of the landscape.” Book Review: I Got His Blood On Me - NZ Herald</image:caption>
