Greetings Clarks World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you very well.

kick-started Neil's project. As of Friday, the project successfully reached two of

its stretch goals and I know Neil is continuing to

line up some wonderful authors for the anthology as well. And there's only three more

David's short science fiction, fantasy, and horror has appeared in over 50 markets,

including Lightspeed, Bullspeck, Nightmare, and Flash Fiction online.
