Greetings Clark's World Citizens and happy July 2015.

Before we begin today's story, I just wanted to give thanks to anybody who has supported this magazine,

whether it's through financial support,

through word of mouth, through Twitter mentions, Facebook mentions, telling a friend, buying an

anthology or a chatbook at a convention. You guys are wicked awesome.

If just around 10 to 15% of those listeners and readers actually subscribe to the magazine or gave us a few

dollars on Patreon or Joyride. Neil could be doing this full-time. I know I've

mentioned this numerous times before but it's still a goal

that I'm going to work towards. And the ad for ourselves at the beginning serves a dual purpose.

It is a thank you to those of you who have supported us in any way possible.

And it is a plea to those of you who haven't quite yet been able to manage it.

Anything that you can do would be greatly appreciated.

You can go to Clark's World Magazine.com, and that's Clark with an e,

and look at the support tab at the top of the screen.

There's many different ways that you can do so and we'd appreciate any of them.
