BJ grew up in the mountainous regions of Northwestern Pennsylvania, amidst the Appalachian Mountain Range. Prime area for the strange and the unusual. BJ has always had an interest in the paranormal and has had many experiences of her own with it as well. Her experiences began as a small child and have continued throughout adulthood. From Ghosts, UFO’s, Bigfoot and Dogmen, there is a lot that she has experienced in her life. As a momentous achievement, BJ was honored and humbled to be able to achieve a 15-year dream that she held close to her heart. On December 5th, 2023, BJ was accepted and welcomed into a very prestigious globally based group of authors, The Horror Writers Association. It was through her dark graphic horror novel, “Josiah Wolfe,” that she was able to make this dream come true, and be inducted into this organization. Other notable members of this prestigious group are of the likes of Stephen King, and Dean Koontz. As of BJ’s acceptance into the HWA, and from the information available at that time, there were less than 2,500 members globally, with less than 300 of those members being here in the USA. In BJ’s home state of Pennsylvania, there were only 14 members throughout the whole state, withBJ being the only member of this association in all Northwestern Pa. In addition to her latest coloring book, “BIGFOOT,” BJ also has out three full length Horror Novels. It must be noted that BJ writes all her Horror under the penname BJ Moore. She found that being an author in mixed genres, that it was not accepted by some individuals that one person could write in Horror, Religious, Inspirational, and Children’s literature all at the same time, so hence, a separation needed to be made. All the books that BJ has out with the exception of Horror, they will all be under the penname, BJ LaPier. The three Horror Novels that BJ currently has out are “The Culebra,” and “The Culebra II,” as well as her Dark Graphic Horror dealing with Dogmen, “Josiah Wolfe.” BJ states that she gets all her book ideas from her dreams. She adds, “My normal dreams are everyone else’s nightmares.” “Josiah Wolfe,” is by far her most popular horror novel to date. BJ adds that, “In the beginning chapter of this book, it starts out slow to show the mundaneness of the creature’s life, and the repetitiveness of it, to portray his frustrations and his growing hatred for humans, and eventually later in the book, it gives the answer to the“why” for everything. But after that short part in the front, it is full on action, blood, and gore.” BJ is currently working on another Dark Horror Novel called, “The Dark Man,” and it will have to do with an entity that is a combination Demon, Wendigo, and Human. Another Horror of Dark Dimensions… After all that though, it is worth noting that BJ does have out four Educational Coloring Books for ALL ages: “Out of America I,” “Out of Africa,” “Out of Africa Simplified,” for younger children and senior adults that may have problems with poor vision or shakier hands due to age, and, “Out of Africa II.” She also has a four volume Nondenominational Religious series called, “Psalms of Nature,” and a Religious based coloring book, “The Lamb of God,” and her Inspirational Book and Coloring Book, “The Enchanted River,” and, “The Enchanted River Coloring Book.” All of BJ’s books are available on Amazon for purchase, and she also has a YouTube Channel with Book Trailers if you would like a closer look at what the interior of some of the books look like. BJ Has a YouTube page designed around Book Trailers for all her books currently out, with a video showcasing what she takes to the Paranormal Events as a vendor. As time goes on, videos of the paranormal will make their way there as well.
