About the Author

Desi is a writer based in Southern California. As a child, she spent her free time climbing trees, chasing chickens, and exploring the lush foliage of her grandparents’ backyard while replaying scenes from her favorite movies. Nowadays, she’s an advertising copywriter, but before that, she was an English teacher for 18 years. As a member of SCBWI, she does monthly critiques with other writers and shares exciting member news on their quarterly newsletter. Currently, she writes middle grade stories (fantasy and contemporary—sometimes a little of both). When she isn't writing, Desi enjoys spending quality time with her family, going on long runs, listening to podcasts, and dancing traditional hula.

Jon is a writer/illustrator based in Southern California. Since childhood, he has been imagining and creating worlds through writing and art. After earning a B.F.A. in drawing and painting and dabbling in fine art, he returned to his passion for narrative illustration through comics and graphic novel stories. His favorite thing to do is character design. Nowadays, he works more digitally than traditionally with apps like Procreate and Clip Studio. He is a member of SCBWI, Kids Comics Unite, and the Cartoonists of Orange County. In addition to teaching middle school art and savoring family life, he enjoys hiking, surfing, collecting comics and graphic novels, learning how to tattoo, traveling, gardening, tending to his bees, playing on his PS4, brewing beer, and trying unique food.
