Hello Pod People. This is Tim Pratt, author of many stories featured on the Escape Artist Podcasts over the years.

I'm currently running a Kickstarter campaign for a new story collection called Miracles and Marvels,

gathering my best stories from the past several years, including

some featured on these podcasts, like my time-traveling lesbian crime fighter romance, Anna

and Marisol in Time and space from Escape Pod.

Fool's Fire, my story about the dark gods of the GPS from Pseudopod, and six jobs,

said in the world of my pod castle favorite cup and table. The campaign ends March 20th and I hope you can

kick in or spread the word. Go to tiny URL.com slash Tim Pratt for details and

happy listening.
