You are listening to a Clarks World Magazine podcast.

With your narrator and podcast director Kate Baker.

Greetings Clark's ruled citizens. I hope you've been well since the last time we spoke.

If you haven't been keeping up with the news,

well awards season has officially kicked off as we released this podcast on May 15, 2010, the Nebula Awards are going to be awarded this particular evening, down in Cocoa Beach, Florida.

Two of our authors are up for awards this year. I might have mentioned that I think I have

a couple times. Kids Johnson and N. K. Jemison are up for awards at tonight's

ceremony.

So if you can, send a little bit of good vibes towards them.

I know that they're competing against each other in this particular

category but they are such wonderful authors and I wish them both the best of luck.

Speaking of awards, did you happen to buy your non-attending membership for WorldCon this year

which will make you eligible to vote?

Hmm?

I told you I was going to pester you about that.

Seriously, it's a good way to support fandom in the SF and fantasy community.

So if you've got a couple extra bucks laying around. I think it's about $50 USD go ahead and

Become a member you have voting rights for this year and you have nominating rights for the next year and I think next year is

is held pretty close to home I'm pretty sure it's in Reno Nevada so start making

your plans for next year as well now Now on to our mid-month fiction. For those of you who've

already visited our site you'll know that the second story that I'm about to

read to is called A Sweet Calling by Tony Pie.
