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

Greetings Clark's World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you very, very well.

And it's also our last story.

The piece is titled Shining Armor

and is by Dominic Green. Dominic was born some time ago, he remembers when telephones were attached to the wall with cables.

As a child he was lied to by magazines that told him he would be living on the moon in the year 2000 wearing silver rocket boots.

People have been publishing science fiction by him since 1996.

In 2006, he was nominated for a Hugo Award for his Story, The Clockwork Adam Baum.

Nowadays, he writes children's science fiction e-books, in particular the six book,

Ant and Cleo series, available on Amazon.

He is married with three cats and a 17-week-old Newfoundland puppy who greatly resembles a cartoon bear.

You can find Dominic at his website
