Author & Playwright

Jocelyn B.D. Moore was born in Washington, DC., and is a lifetime resident of Prince Georges County, MD. During her early years, she developed an interest in theatre and was greatly influenced by her mother who wrote and directed church plays for youth and adults. Jocelyn’s high school drama teacher was also an influence on her interest in the theatre. After high school, Jocelyn attended Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, and graduated with a BA degree in theatre arts. She is also a life member of Morgan State’s Alumni Association.

Jocelyn’s Love for Theatre

While maintaining an interest in theatre after graduating from Morgan, Jocelyn decided to pursue a career as a Capitol Police Officer. As a police officer, she never gave up her love for the theatre. Jocelyn became very active in her church by writing and directing plays, planning events, and serving as Director of Drama Ministry. She continues to serve as the Superintendent of Sunday School, and is also head of the Youth Ministry and Family Ministry. Her favorite saying is, “God put us here for a purpose. Without Him, we are nothing.”

Writing Stage Plays

Before retiring in 2012, Jocelyn wrote her first two stage plays titled Men of the Bible and Women of the Bible. The plays are informative and easy to read. They were written so that people can gain a better understanding of, and thus learn from, the lives of some of the most famous and influential people in the Bible. Women of the Bible was performed at several churches in the Washington Metropolitan area. Her most recent books are Secrets in the Sanctuary and Secrets in the Sanctuary II: Secrets Exposed.

What do you want readers to know about you?

I was born in Washington, DC., and I am a lifetime resident of Prince George’s County. I love spending time with family and friends. MY deepest belief is: “God put us here for a purpose. Without him, we are nothing.”

In August 2012, I retired as a U.S. Capitol Police officer. I graduated from Morgan State University with a bachelor’s degree in theater arts. In April 2012, my company was recognized by my alma mater in the spring edition of the Morgan State University alumni newsletter.

I am currently promoting Rainbows and Valleys, which is a compilation of interesting and compelling original skits and monologues that covers myriad life lessons and subjects of matters ranging from growing pains to love, spirituality, relationships, blended families, drugs, suicide and abuse. It is an excellent read that will evoke deep discussion and is also a useful resource for teens and young adults, specifically ages 13 to 30. I hope that my stories will be educational as well as entertaining to all readers.

The following is an excerpt from Rainbows and Valleys.

MOM: What is going on with you? Why are you dressing like some hoochie in a music video? I don’t want to say it, Dawn, but you know what you look like? Is that how you want people to see you? As some cheap, fast girl? I want answers, Dawn. Now!

DAWN: I’m sorry, momma. But I have to dress like this, and everyone likes it. I’m finally fitting in with the right crowd at school. Being the new kid and then dressing how I was before had me eating lunch with a bunch of outcasts. All I did was change the way I dress a little bit…and now I’m pretty popular. And the makeup is the coolest part. I copied it from a makeup site.

MOM: You went from looking 16 to looking 28! And a bad looking 28 at that.

DAWN: I just wanted people to like me. I wanted to make friends-that’s all, honest.

MOM: Honest? Do you know the meaning of the word, Dawn? I don’t think you set out to hurt me Dawn, but you did. More than that honey, you’re hurting yourself.

DAWN: Hurting myself?

MOM: You’re only 16, Dawn but the decisions you make now can affect you far into the future. Honey, the way you’re dressing gives people the wrong impression…a bad one.
