Moriah Jane strives to fill bookshelves with clean, high quality, and immersive stories for young adult and middle-grade readers. Ever since she was old enough to hold a Barbie in her hand, Jane has been creating fantastical adventures ranging from magical fantasies to thrilling science fiction. As a notoriously picky reader, Jane struggled to find what she wanted to read as a child, so she set out to fill bookshelves with the tales permeating her wildest dreams.
Hailing from the historic Pennsylvania woods (though she lives elsewhere now), it’s no surprise that Jane’s favorite fantasy genres include: gaslamp, court intrigue, and fae. Her passion for the 1800s-1900s is evident in her adoration of blazers, frocks, vests, and elegant coats. She can often be found wearing any one or a combination of the four. Her most notable gaslamp stories are Rogue (Vampiric Red #1) and Elias Edwards: Vampire Slayer. Although she does not currently have titles featuring court intrigue or fae, Jane fully intends to saturate that market soon.
Perhaps one of the more surprising genres Jane thoroughly enjoys and delves deep into is Dystopia and Asian Fiction. She has penned two dystopia short stories and one samurai novella. Her fascination with abandoned places fuels her interest in dystopian tales, and she is certainly pleased to not live in one. Jane’s unending love of Asian fiction stems from her admiration of Japanese culture. An avid otaku and Japanophile, Jane simply cannot live without researching, writing, reading, and studying the beauty of Japan. She is also the co-creator of Finding God in Anime: A Devotional for Otakus, a Christian anthology encouraging those in the faith to share about how they have encountered Godly attributes in Japanese animation.
Jane hopes to encourage writers and readers both young and old not only through her stories but through her personal life journey. Diagnosed with a processing disorder and short-term memory loss, few believed Jane could follow her dreams to become an author. Prayer and no shortage of grueling work has brought Jane to her first goal of authorhood. She hopes to encourage others to overcome their troubles and follow their aspirations.
