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

Greetings, Clark's World Citizens.

I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

Welcome to October. As usual, all of our fiction, non-fiction art and the podcast is brought to you by you so please head over to

Clark'sWorld Citizens.com to see how you can be a part of something special each and every

month. Our first story is titled The Miracle Lambs of Minan by

Finbar O'Reilly. Finbar O'Reilly is an Irish speculative fiction writer who likes to explore how broken

technologies are unearthly events affect intimate locales.

Why would you want to write about alien battleships invading New York,

when you can imagine little green men asking for directions

from a short-tempered undertaker.

He has been previously published in Clark's World

and in the anthologies, the best science fiction of the year, edited by Neil Clark, and the year's best

science fiction edited by Gardner Duzwa.

Pinbar has worked as a journalist for almost 20 years, most of those as a sub-editor, or copy editor.

Like many Irish writers, Finbar lives in self-imposed exile.

He currently resides with his wife and two children in a small town,

in Lincolnshire, UK, far from the sound of gulls and the smell of salt water.

You can find Finbar at Twitter at F-I-N-O-R L. And if you like what you hear back in October 2017, we had the last boat

and let me tell you a story. It was midsummer when I arrived in Kirkig from Sivesfort, and the famine parties were in

full swing. I don't know if you remember the posters for them. In a vibrant shawl a red-headed woman stands, holding a twin in each arm.
