Hello Im new to all this. I just published my first 3 books. Here is a little bit about me and my books.AJ Moonflower is a writer from West Monroe, Louisiana, whose mission is to share God’s light through storytelling. From uplifting devotionals and children’s books to meaningful novels for teens, AJ writes with honesty, compassion, and creativity. Through every project, AJ hopes to remind readers that they are never alone, that their story matters, and that with faith, even the hardest battles can be overcome.
1. The Woman I Became: A Memior of Hope and Healing.
This can be found on Amazon
From shattered dreams to unshakable strength, The Woman I Became is a raw and deeply personal memoir of one woman's journey through unimaginable pain—and the unbreakable hope that carried her through.
At just 18, AJ found herself caught in a web of abuse—physical, emotional, financial, and sexual. What began as love quickly unraveled into control, manipulation, and isolation. Her life spiraled into a nightmare she couldn't escape, made worse by the trauma of losing custody of her child and battling thoughts of suicide.
But this is not just a story of survival. This is the story of rebirth.
Through tears, prayer, community, and courage, AJ slowly began to piece her life back together. With her son as her light, her faith as her foundation, and her voice as her weapon, she discovered the woman she was always meant to be.
The Woman I Became is a tribute to every survivor who's been silenced, every mother who's lost but never stopped loving, and every woman who dared to believe she was worth healing. It's not just a memoir—it's a movement of resilience, redemption, and the unstoppable power of reclaiming your life.
2. GlorbZorb#% The Goo Wars Begin
This can be found on Amazon. My 11 year old son came up with the idea for this book and he also drew the book cover for it. This is going to be a book series.
Welcome to GlorbZorb#% — the wildest, wackiest, and most delicious planet in the entire Candy Craze Galaxy!
Imagine a world of marshmallow meadows, licorice mushrooms, and rivers of fizzy soda pop. Here, kids attend the Floating Meatloaf Academy — a flying school powered by frosting, imagination, and a little bit of chaos.
But when a sticky, sour threat from the enemy planet Craglor invades, the peace is shattered. Rustar, an 8th grader with candy cane eyes and a heart full of courage, teams up with legendary warriors, wild teachers, and a secretive human spy to protect their world.
Get ready for:
• Epic candy-powered battles with lollipop launchers, licorice whips, and Dognado tornadoes
• Secret missions into the depths of ancient vending machines and mysterious snack realms
• Mind-reading pets who aren't just cute — they're key to the fight
• Hilarious teachers who shoot pencils out of their ears and turn math problems into cactus fields
• A candy storm like you've never seen before!
Will Rustar and his friends save GlorbZorb#% — or will the sour enemy turn their sweetest dreams into a sticky nightmare?
Dive in and join the sweetest adventure of the year!

i4NiHi everyone, my name is John Priest and I've been a children's writer for many years. I started writing following an injury, loss of my job and needing to find something I could actually enjoy doing without too much physical exertion;-)
The most recent book is for the grown-ups! It's a Science Fiction/ Dystopian/Thriller and is based on my own thoughts about Science Fiction that is quickly becoming Science Fact. I hope you will find it interesting and let me know. Take care, John.John Priest

Hello! My name is Penny and I have built my life around books—reading them, writing them, and championing the authors behind them. I'm passionate about helping stories find their readers. :)
Hello everyone! I have been a Goodreads member for EVER! But on Monday, I released my memoir, Forever and a Day. So scary but also exciting. I've always loved reading and my earliest memories are The Monster at the end of This Book and then later, Anne of Green Gables. I don't have as much time to read as I wish I did because I have my own social media business (helping authors!)
So happy to make some connections!
Welcome Mary and congratulations on your new release!
