A Little about Moonlight Memoirs

For those of you out there who have no idea what Moonlight Memoirs is but want to know more, here is some information about it.

Moonlight Memoirs - Remembering That Family and Friends are Forever is a Children's book written by Maggie Mei Lewis (me) and illustrated by Melody Lea Lamb. It is an beautifully illustrated story about two curious mice who venture into a moonlit winter's night, where they meet an old mouse who beckons them to follow. This old silver mouse, along with many more animal friends, teach the two mice a comforting lesson about the forever lasting nature of love.

When I was thirteen years old, I told my mother I was going to write a book. I was extremely determined to get a message out to the world, for those who needed it. Later that year I had completed most of the story and started looking for an artist to illustrate it. I looked for a while on all different websites, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking full. Then I finally found an wonderfully talented artist on eBay, Melody Lea Lamb, who was willing to illustrate the book. In the spring of 2008, the illustrations for Moonlight Memoirs were going well and Melody began to auction off each original paintings on eBay. By the fall of 2008, with the illustrations completed, the editing progress began. At this time, my parents began a publishing business, Good Times Press, LLC. After many rounds of editing, the printing process began in the early spring of 2009 with Good Times Press contracting with Self-Publishing, Inc. Moonlight Memoirs went through even more editing, layout, design and finally, the printing in which the book was printed both digitally and by off-set printing. It was a lot of work, but it was well worth it. I am very happy to present Moonlight Memoirs – Remembering That Family and Friends Are Forever, a book that contains a story of over two years of inspired work.
