Hi everyone!
My brand new young adult steampunk vigilante superhero serial launches online with Amazon today.
I’ve sent rumblings and grumblings and hints of this awesome new story over the past six months via my newsletter and social media, and it’s now available 😀
I would love to share Louisa’s story with you; how she’s caught between world, battles a bad habit of unlady-like cursing, and fights to write her own future in a time where steam and clockworks rule and bad-guys have cool monikers 😉
This is a “serial” ~ meaning the story will be published in novelette (long short story length) episodes of approx 6 chapters at a time. Each episode is a complete storyline from start to finish, like a comic book but without pictures. The overriding story links each episode toward a full volume, consisting of approx. 8 sections.
I am taking a feather from Charles Dickens’ hat and trying something new. I hope you’ll join me as Louisa’s story unfolds. Episode 1, Answering the Call is where it all begins.
Each episode is only .99c, and a new episode will be released every 2 months:
SHADOW PHOENIX VOL. I
April 2019 – Episode I: Answering the Call
June – Episode II
August – Episode III
October – Episode IV
December – Episode V
February – Episode VI
April 2020 – Episode VII
June – Episode VIII


Goodreads Reviews!

A great introduction to MJ Moores new serialized work of fiction. The steampunk elements are immediately recognizable and add an element of intrigue into the story. Louisa […] is an interesting character who we immediately become invested in and by the end want to know what will become of her as the series continues. As always, MJ Moores’s talent for crafting a story is evident, through her creativity and believable characters. An excellent start to a new series that will keep you coming back for each episode as it’s released!

I am intrigued with Louisa. There is just enough backstory to make me curious and enough hints at where she might be headed that make me sorry that I need to wait for the next instalment. I’m going to enjoy having Louisa along during my commute.

Time’s Tempest is an incredible, unique and phenomenal novel courtesy of a remarkable author, M.J. Moores. When I discovered Time’s Tempest and read the words ‘embarking as a guide into the death zones that are the Deserts’ I knew instantly that I had to read the book as well as share it with you lovely readers because how rare is that! I was intrigued right away as to why the Deserts are death zones and what has happened to make it this way. The fact that I was intrigued and wanted to read the book from the description alone shows us, readers, that M.J. Moores is a phenomenal writer who knows how to hook you from her description and premise alone! Time’s Tempest is a thrilling story that is shocking as well as entertaining, and the story managed to captivate as well as delight me from the first few pages. Time’s Tempest can only be described as the kind of novel for those that are looking for an escape and to be taken on an adventure because Time’s Tempest will provide this with its thrilling story that is hard to forget!
