After working with libraries, parents, and children’s book authors, she was inspired to set out on her own author’s journey. Her passion for storytelling focuses on a deep curiosity about the wonder and beauty of the world around her. Dear Sun, Dear Moon is her first picture book, which captures the power and brilliance of the magical things occurring in the sky above. She has been an avid reader her whole life and is thrilled to be writing books for children. Deborah has a Master of Arts in English and is an active member of the California Writers Club (Redwood Writers) and the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. After raising three active and energetic sons, she now lives a quieter life with her husband, chocolate lab, and ragdoll cat in northern California. ILLUSTRATOR BIO Gayle Cole currently resides in the small town of Sebastopol, California, on a blueberry farm where she has lived for the past 33 years raising four children with her husband, Jim. She graduated from the Art Department at San Francisco State University in 1978 with a BA degree in printmaking. Gayle considers herself an illustrator and designer, inspired first and foremost by the art in classic children’s books from such illustrators who simply went by Lucille W., H.C. Gayle has illustrated for Horticultural Publishing, worked in a local silk screening studio, and taken her artist’s eye in to landscaping and home designing. Portraiture of people and pets is Gayle’s muse of the moment and this is her first children’s book.“I’ll kill you where you stand,” Bdubs said, deadly serious. He stared at the woman that stood across from him, a firm frown on her face. “You wouldn’t dare,” Pearl said, suddenly grinning. She put her hands in the air in a lazy shrug as she walked forward. “How dare you! I am very brave, and very handsome.” The last part was more of a side comment, but it needed to be said. “Okay, boomer.” Bdubs let out an affronted gasp.

The Oracle of the Moon readied her sword, the netherite shimmering a soft, yet intense midnight gray, as if to signal even further, her allegiance to the night.īdubs pulled out his own sword, setting the crossbow aside for now.

That would require some distances, he’d get to it later. Pearl surged forward, landing the first hit. At one point, Pearl tried switching to her bow, but Bdubs managed to confuse her, twisting and turning in perfectly unpredictable ways. Keeping close was a problem for him, Pearl had a knack for close combat, but he had a knack for not dying. They kept at it, until his health dropped dangerously low. Pulling out an enderpearl, Bdubs squinted at the nearby hill, before launching it sky-high.
