Episode 144, Rona's Tavern and Space Time Portal, by S.L. Myers. Welcome to EscapePod, the science fiction podcast.

I'm Alistair, your host, and this week's story comes to us from S.L. Myers.

SL is a former US Air Force Russian linguist.

After tours in Japan, Germany and Riyadh, she left the service to raise four children

and to accompany her spouse to US embassies in Kyrgyzstan and Russia.

She currently calls Alexandria Virginia Home and her debut novel Children of Kane won first

place in the 2023 Writers Digest Self-Published E-Book Awards, fantasy genre category.

Your narrator for this one is Danny Daly. Danny is a jack of many trades,

a master of none, but seeing as she loves the rogue life, that's okay with her.

You can hear stories that she's narrated all over the Escape Artist's Network,

Starship Sofer, Glittership, and Asimov's science fiction podcast.

We'll have her social media links in the show notes for you too.

Summer Brooks is running audio for you this week, and I'm Alastair, your intrepid host.

So charge your glasses and perhaps your blasters, because it's story time.
