Our third piece of audio fiction for September is "One Flesh" written by Mark Bourne & Elizabeth Bourne and read by Kate Baker.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Elizabeth Bourne lives in Seattle surrounded by books and yarn. Her super power is always having exact change and she loves waking up to the smell of salt water. Bourne enjoys the companionship of a large malamute named Kai, who helps with her writing by eating the bad pages. Previously published in Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine, Interzone, and Black Lantern, Bourne was a finalist in the 2012 Pacific Northwest Writers novel competition for her historical novel, The Seventy. She is currently working on a second-world fantasy.
Elizabeth Bourne's late husband Mark was a film critic and science fiction writer whose work was published in Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine, Asimov's, and a number of anthologies. Mark was a renowned expert on classic sci-fi films and silent comedy. If he could have been anyone, it would have been Buster Keaton. Mark Bourne's criticism can be found on IMDB.

Hey Kate and Co.!
There's two errors in the posting of "One Flesh".
(1) The podcast episode cuts off with story left to go! Aaaaaaah! I was enjoying it!
(2) It says, "Our second piece of audio fiction for September is "One Flesh" written by Mark Bourne & Elizabeth Bourne and read by Kate Baker.", where it's in fact the third of the month.

just listened to One Flesh by Mark and Elizabeth Bourne, read by Kate Baker. It was such a moving experience for me, having recently lost a loved one. it explains and yet leaves so many questions about the beauty and richness of life. is it in our remembering that they still live? or the pain felt collectively for their loss? For now I will just think about how very very precious life is..... as I weep and remember. thank you for this beautifully crafted and beautifully read story.
