Hi Debrah,
These are the results from Heat 3 of our #AusFaveAuthor poll. Peter Watt was not in Heat 3, however he is in Heat 4 which is now open for voting until Midday Wednesday 17th of January. You can vote for him here. The top 15 authors from each Heat will then progress to the Finals round of the poll.
Kind regards,
Tanaya
