On April 26, Fourth Friday Readings features Wulf Moon, a local writer versed at delighting listeners with high-concept science fiction and fantasy tales. The event begins at 6:15 p.m. at The Lodge media room, 660 Evergreen Farm Way in Sequim.

Moon, a Sequim resident, won his first national award and published his first story at the age of 15. Since then, he has claimed dozens more awards for writing and for public speaking, most recently the Writers of the Future Contest. He will be reading a selection from his award-winning story, “Super-Duper Moongirl and the Amazing Moon Dawdler.” Moon believes in born storytellers with dedication. He also believes every successful writer owns cats, but must be careful to allow only one in his office at a time.

Arrive early to purchase your beverage and a snack at the bistro when you enter The Lodge. The event is free and accessible to everyone. There is an elevator (as well as stairs) to the media room on the second floor.

Following the featured speaker, there will be an hour of 5-minute open mic readings. Interested writers may submit their names before the event begins. For open mic guidelines contact lindabmyers@ yahoo.com.

Moon is one of 24 award-winning sci-fi and fantasy authors and illustrators featured in “Writers of the Future — Volume 35,” an internationally acclaimed bestselling anthology of award-winning science fiction and fantasy short stories.
