Wulf Moon wins Writers of the Future Contest!

Have I got a story to tell! But for now, let me just say that I won Second Place in the international speculative fiction talent search, Writers of the Future! My story, “Super-Duper Moongirl and the Amazing Moon Dawdler” will be published in their Volume 35 anthology, release date of April 9, 2019. In addition to the prize money and professional publication money, I’ll be sent on an all expense paid trip to Hollywood! I’ll partake in a week long workshop taught by David Farland, Orson Scott Card, and Tim Powers! These are giants in the field of science fiction and fantasy, and I’m so pleased I’m going to learn from the masters. And then there’s the banquet and awards gala which has been described as the equivalent of the Academy Awards ceremony in the field of science fiction and fantasy! This year the event will be livestreamed from Hollywood’s opulent Taglyan Complex on Friday, April 5th! Go to writersofthefuture.com on the day of the event and connect up to the program! More to come!
