SA Author. The 30 short stories included in this volume were all submitted to the Inaugural Macclesfield Literary Festival Short Story Prize, 2026. South Australian authors were given the task of writing a 500-word short story that mentions both Kangaroo Island and The Ozone Hotel in Kingscote. The heartfelt creativity of the stories within will surprise you. You will laugh and cry as the authors either reminisce about the past or examine the present and recent experiences on Kangaroo Island. All of stories express a fondness for the Ozone Hotel and the Island, either as a backdrop to fictional or historical events, family holidays, examining the day-to-day or delving into a fictional mystery.
