You are listening to a Clark's World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

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

It's our third story for the month of July 2014.

This podcast happens to be sandwiched between two major conventions that Neil and I are both going to this year.

So if you've come by and set hello at the ReaderCon table in Massachusetts or are attending Decon this upcoming weekend.

Please say hi to us there if you see us.

There's no real other news to report,

so I'm just going to jump right into the story.

But I do want to shout out quickly like I always do to all those people who have supported us,

whether it was buying an anthology over the weekend at the table or a chat book, or by saying that they were going to subscribe to the magazine via Amazon or Waitless Books, or if you listen to the podcast and like to support us via Petrayon.

So thanks again. Every bit of support means so much to us.

So our third story's title is Soul's Bargain. As by Juliet

Wade. Juliet wrote Stetta monodillonai, which is not easily thrown away in March 2014.

Juliet has turned her studies in linguistics, anthropology, and Japanese language and culture

into tools for writing fantasy and science fiction. She lives in the

Bay Area of Northern California, with her husband and two children, who support and inspire

her. She blogs about language and culture and

S.F. and fantasy at Talk to Universe and runs the dive into world building

Hangout series on Google Plus. Her fiction has appeared several times in analog science fiction, fact, and various anthologies.

You can find Juliet at our website Talk to Y-O-U-N-I-V-E-R-S-E, that BlogSpot.com.

So I invite you to sit back, relax,

and let me tell you a story.
