You are listening to a Clarksvold magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarksville Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you very, very well.

Our Fearless editor, Neil Clark,

is off to China for the next two weeks,

doing what editors do best and schmoozing

and building relationships that will bring us more fantastic fiction as the time goes on.

Speaking of fantastic fiction, you like what you're hearing?

I know a lot of you do because I see the numbers of all the downloads hidden us.

I'm asking you very gently in this month of giving.

Please consider going to Patreon.com forward slash Clark's world and

pledging a dollar or more of your support per month. Every little bit helps. We've

been doing this for 10 years. We are committed to putting out that free online issue.

So when things aren't financially great for people,

they can still access all this wonderful content,

but putting together this issue month after month is not free.

We pay our authors far above the minimum professional rate that Sifwa requires.

We pay our artist. We pay our artist a proof reader to make sure that things are going really well.

Then there's payment for the stuff that we used to put this all together, the programs, the equipment, the microphone for which I'm speaking

into right now. All of these things have a cost, and we're not asking for a ton, just a simple gesture that shows us how much you like the magazine.

And it's okay if you can't do it right now, but please, if you have the opportunity in the future,

Patreon.com forward slash Clark's World.

Our second story for the month of November 2017 is titled Retrieval and is by Suzanne Walker.
