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

Readings Clarks World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you very well.

If you're attending ReaderCon this upcoming weekend, please stop by the

Clark's World and Prime Books table and say hello to Neil, Sean, and I. We'll be there selling the usual fair,

Clark's World anthologies, some books that Neil likes to get rid of,

and for every sale of a Clark's World related item, it goes right back into the magazine and thanks again for your support.

Our second story for the month of July 2014 is titled Stone Hunger by N. K. Jemison.

Ms. Jemison actually had a story in November 2010

called On the Banks of the River Lex, and Non Zero Probabilities in September 2009.

She is a Brooklyn author whose short fiction and novels have been multiply nominated

for the Hugo and the Nebula, shortlisted for the Crawford and the Tiptree,

and have won the Locust Award for Best First Novel.

Her speculative fiction works range from fantasy

to science fiction to the undefinable.

Her themes include the intersections of race and gender,

resistance to oppression, and the coolness of stuff blowing up.

She is a member of the Altered Fluid Writing Group

and a graduate of The Viable Paradise

Writing Workshop.

Her latest novel The Shadowed Sun was published in June 2012 from Orbit Books, and she's

hard at work on a new series due to begin in 2014.

You can find her at her website
