This is a world where wolves have their own mythology and know about their ancestral roots. It is a place where the rhythms of nature play out against a dramatic backdrop. Here, predators and prey struggle to survive while, high above them, Sun and Moon play their own pivotal roles.

Today’s story is “Love Song for the Moon” by Janice Rider, whose stories are inspired by her love of the natural world. This story is in the anthology Spirit of the Wolf by WolfSinger Publications. You can find more of her stories through Speculation Publications, Critical Blast Publishing, Word Balloon Books, The North American Jules Verne Society, and Gypsum Sound Tales.
