You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator, Kate Baker.

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

Welcome to February.

Before we kick off the first story by Mary Ness,

I'd like to give some reminders out there.

As you've probably heard across the interwebs,

awards season is coming up.

If you're a syphua active, lifetime Associate, or Lifetime Associate Member.

Please do not forget to nominate your favorite works for the 2012 Nebula Awards.

I believe those nominations are open until February. and 12 Nebula Awards.

I believe those nominations are open until February 15th.

Another big one that's coming up are the Hugo's.

If you were an attending member of the Worldcon and Reno last year, you can nominate your favorite

works for the Hugo Awards as well.

These awards are not only an avenue and a vehicle for your favorite authors to get some great

publicity, but in many cases it's a validation of that

person's work. I'd also like to give a shout out to the members of the Clarks World community

who left comments or suggestions or anything on the website for last month.

So Suzanne, thank you so so much.

I know that you comment almost every single story and I value each

and every one of those to Adam Andrew, Rina Martin Brian, thank you as well.

It's very nice to know that somebody else is taking the time
