HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY Tops the Charts!!!

I taught a free year-long workshop for five years called Wulf Moon’s SUPER SECRETS to help unpublished writers level up and get published. It’s been a huge success, and many asked me to compile my teachings into a book. I funded the production of HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY through Kickstarter crowdfunding. The Kickstarter had 330 backers and funded at over $21,000 (e-books were delivered two months ago, and I am madly shipping out print books to backers now). My publisher had his launch date set long ago. The book released last Tuesday, November 7th. I hoped the book might hit #1 on release day, but knew it would be an uphill climb. All my friends and fans already had the e-book through the Kickstarter pledge rewards–they didn’t need another from Amazon Kindle.

Guess what? We hit #1 in Kindle’s New Releases Fiction Writing Books category again and again all week long (#1 on Kobo as well). In the regular writing books category with all the famous writing books you know, HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY rose to #6 bestseller (some upstart named Stephen King shut me out with an obscure book called ON WRITING 🙂 ). And then Draft2Digital’s weekly sales report came out–they report from multiple platforms, including Amazon. HOW TO WRITE A HOWLING GOOD STORY hit #4 and #5 for the week in ALL indie nonfiction book category sales, not just the writing books category. And we launched on Tuesday–we didn’t even have the full week of sales! It continues to ride at #1 or #2 every day on Kindle’s New Release list for Fiction Writing books.

Thank you to all that recognized the importance of this book. It’s truly been a labor of love, born from my heartfelt concern for writers to make the publishing process easier … by helping them to learn how to create howling good stories that SELL!

Got yours? Do you long to see a story of yours published? Or if you’re published, to create stronger stories and novels that win awards and build a fanbase that long for more? What are you waiting for? Change your destiny and grab one today from your favorite retailer! Trust me, you’ll learn powerful writing secrets from this book, and you’ll have a great time reading it. Promise!

IT’S RELEASE DAY OF MY WRITING BOOK!

IT’S RELEASE DAY! Five years ago after winning Writers of the Future, I started a free writing workshop called Wulf Moon’s Super Secrets to help unpublished writers understand the principles of writing that not only make stories work, but help them sell professionally and win awards.

Guess what? Writers in these year-long workshops started winning by the droves. The Writers of the Future Contest, the Mike Resnick Memorial Award, the Baen Adventure Fantasy Award, and more! More importantly, they not only made their first professional sales, they made multiple sales that launched their careers in fiction writing. These writers are living proof that the Super Secrets of writing work.

So, I put all my teachings in a book. I launched my first Kickstarter to fund the project. It not only funded in 7 minutes, it earned Project We Love, and later was featured as Project of the Day on Kickstarter Reads. Final funding hit over $21,000 dollars. Remember, I’d never done Kickstarter crowdfunding before. This phenomenal first result proved to me people really wanted this book to come to life.

Mark Leslie Lefebvre of Stark Publishing Solutions guided me along the way. If you want great success, I always say find a great mentor. We’ve been so busy producing the book, we only announced the prerelease about a week ago. How to Write a Howling Good Story already hit #1 Bestselling New Release orange in a major Kindle writing books category, while still in prerelease!

We sent a copy to Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of The Oppenheimer Alternative. Here’s what he said: “Wulf Moon is a terrific writing teacher, and in How to Write a Howling Good Story, he shares the tips and tricks that have made him one of today’s hottest authors. His advice is spot-on; follow it and you can launch a major career. This book is pure gold.”

And now, here we are. My book that has helped so many writers launch their careers is available to you today from your favorite online retailer. Add this book to your arsenal. It has the power to change your writing destiny, as it has done for so many others. This is not a dry, formulaic book on writing. You’ll get your stories dressed for success while having a darn good time reading it.

Five years in the making. Thirty-six chapters. 100,000 words. Ebook, paperback, and hardcover. Get yours today and find out how to write a howling good story. This book can change your destiny!

GAME ON! Anthology to be Early Released July 15, 2023!

Ready for a seaside adventure? My dark fantasy story “The Saltmarsh” is a tale about a deadly game between a Nereid and a goblin, based off a poem by H. Munro. It will be published in the anthology GAME ON! by publisher Joshua Palmatier of Zombies Need Brains, a SFWA approved professional market!

And what a great list of authors in the table of contents, including David Hankins, a writer I’ve mentored in my Wulf Pack Writers group! You can preorder today and you’ll be first to get the early release on July 15th in trade paperback or e-book! If you’d like the trade paperback, at present I’ve only seen it listed in the ZNB online store, so do order it there. Release dates are still being updated on the various platforms, but it’s definitely available on July 15th, 2023. Here’s where to order!

Kindle: https://amzn.to/3Px4EWy

Want more details? Here’s the publisher’s comments:

What if future criminals played games of skill for their freedom? Would spellcasters dare use magic to skew chance in their favor? What if aliens judged us based on the games we play? Can a dying woman literally cheat Death?

Games are about more than winning and losing. They’re about risk and reward, strategy and blind fortune, our need to win and our fear of being outplayed. And when magic and science infuse a game, the stakes can be of cosmic importance. Each move could decide life or death. Are you ready to play?

In this anthology, seventeen of today’s leading fantasy and science fiction authors explore the role games play in worlds both seen and unseen. Join Aliette de Bodard, Jennifer R. Povey, Ed Greenwood, Cory Swanson, David Hankins, Cat Rambo, Wulf Moon, Jo Miles, James Alan Gardner, Karen Aria Lin, Mike Rimar, Eric Choi, Tris Lawrence, Mark Silcox, Melissa Yi, Michael Picco, and Sean Williams as they share with us games played for unimaginable stakes.

“Stone Cold” Ranks in the Top 12 Out of 927 Contest Entries!

I received this certificate the other day from Danny Hankner, publisher and editor of Story Unlikely. My gargoyle urban fantasy story “Stone Cold” placed in the top twelve out of 927 entries in the Story Unlikely Annual Short Story Contest–2023. There were three prize winners, and nine honorable mentions. So close! But at least I made the top 1% of all entries. And got this fun certificate to prove it!

As Mal from Firefly would say, “Shiny!”

“The Saltmarsh” to be Published in ZNB’s Anthology GAME ON!

Hey, Fans! The preorder is up! Joshua Palmatier from Zombies Need Brains will be publishing my fantasy story “The Saltmarsh” in the anthology GAME ON! this August 2023. It’s part of his annual anthology series, this one edited by Stephen Kotowych and Tony Pi. This is a SFWA qualified pro market and has some incredible writers in the Table of Contents.

When we had the grand opening of our public art studio in the village on Lopez Island many moons ago, my wife and I did a dramatic reading of H. Munro’s poem about a goblin and a nymph. “Overheard on a Saltmarsh” is short, but it opened up a brilliant vision in my mind that’s haunted me for years. I wanted more, more, more! This story is my answer.

Here’s an excerpt from the publisher’s comments and the author lineup:

“Games are about more than winning and losing. They’re about risk and reward, strategy and blind fortune, our need to win and our fear of being outplayed. And when magic and science infuse a game, the stakes can be of cosmic importance. Each move could decide life or death. Are you ready to play?

“In this anthology, seventeen of today’s leading fantasy and science fiction authors explore the role games play in worlds both seen and unseen. Join Aliette de Bodard, Jennifer R Povey, Ed Greenwood, Cory Swanson, David Hankins, Cat Rambo, Wulf Moon, Jo Miles, James Alan Gardner, Karen Lin, Mike Rimar, Eric Choi, Tris Lawrence, Mark Silcox, Melissa Yi, Michael Picco, and Sean Williams as they share with us games played for unimaginable stakes.”

Shout out to David Hankins in this TOC, a member of my Wulf Pack Writers group! Now go ahead. Take a chance on a sure bet! GAME ON! will be published this August 2023, and it’s certain to be a winner!

“Sharnathium” by Wulf Moon Published in November 2022 Issue of Galaxy’s Edge Magazine!

My science fiction astralmancer story “Sharnathium” was published a couple of days ago, and I’m already seeing posts that warm my heart.? Would you give up divine power in the astral for one moment of corporeal pleasure? FREE TO READ for a limited time at Galaxy’s Edge magazine!

“IT IS GORGEOUS!! Your words paint beauty. Your words bring up the symphonies found in color and light. Damn good writing.”–C.L.

“Wow! What a story. A full exploration of all the facets of passion, from gods’ to photons’, and everything in between.”–C.W.

“I find your story ABSOLUTELY beautiful.”–Lezli Robyn, Editor, Galaxy’s Edge magazine

“Gripping story.”–Tangent Online

In the magazine’s introduction, Lezli Robyn wrote: “Wulf Moon’s “Sharnathium” explores what an astralmancer god would risk to experience corporeal pleasure just one more time. Despite a completely alien voice and transcendent setting, the protagonist of the story is so completely relatable, and the consequences of his actions transport us to a surreal conclusion that no one could have ever imagined possible.”

There you have it, and it’s a shorter read. Check it out! ? And if you’re recommending stories for awards, this one qualifies for awards eligibility for science fiction short stories published in 2022. I hope you’ll consider “Sharnathium.” It’s one of my best!
