Kevin M. HayesAudio production by

Intergalactic Medicine Show (November 2014)
We ran
Rachael K. Jones‘ full bio last week when she narrated
Hat Trick by Beth Cato. So this week, let us tell you about some of her own work.
For example, we ran Rachael’s excellent
Makeisha in Time as
Episode 176. The story was originally published by the sadly soon-to-shutter
Crossed Genres magazine, and then again on
PodCastle narrated by the excellent K. Tempest Bradford.
But did you know Makeisha in Time was also one of the Top 100 podcast episodes featured on NPR’s new
earbud.fm? Or made the John Joseph Adams
Notable list for 2015?
This is Rachael’s second year of professional publication, so her final year of eligibility for the
Campbell Award. Please consider her when you’re making your best-of posts this year.
Wine for Witches, Milk for Saints is narrated by
Kevin M. Hayes. Kevin has been reading science fiction since he was old enough to read, and has been writing it for almost as long. He is active in the Pittsburgh SFF organization, Parsec and helps put on Confluence, a genre fiction conference every year. He has had stories published in
Six from Parsec and
Triangulation as well as
TV Gods and most recently in
The Realm Beyond. He has narrated other stories for Pseudopod and, amazingly, has also published a few limericks. He lives in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania with the love of his life, some of her children and all of her cats.
My grandmother would have disapproved of a Tinker in a Father Christmas suit, my customary dress in the children’s hospital each December. She believed no good could come of frivolity in our profession, when a routine procedure could end in tragedy. I saw her point when I found myself delivering bad news in costume to a 7-year-old and her sick friend on Christmas Eve.Click here to listen to episode 184Click here to read the text of the storyTags: Tags: Cast of Wonders, children, Christmas, cogs, Fantasy, illness, Kevin M.
