About the Author: Dale
Ibitz
Author of the YA, science fiction and fantasy series
Last Moon Rising
Dale Ibitz was born in Oxford, Connecticut,
grew up in the state of Washington, and then re-located back to Connecticut as
an adult. Always a lover of books, she spent much of her childhood reading,
visiting the library (her best friend’s mother was a librarian…how convenient),
and writing. She majored in English at Central Connecticut State University,
and while Dale holds a full-time day job where she’s immersed in the dry life
of writing contracts, she’s been writing young adult fantasy and mid-grade
contemporary for seventeen years (on the side, of course).
Dale’s
a fan of hiking and the outdoors, seriously good writing, and she never, ever
starts the day without chocolate and coffee (preferably together). Music
inspires her, and she likes to listen to alternative metal. When she listens to
lyrics, she finds herself imagining stories behind the words…it’s a great
writing exercise.
Dale
is, by nature, a klutz and has years of funny tidbits of real-life comical
events which she (ahem) constantly seems to stumble in to. These tidbits have a
habit of finding their way on to the pages of the books she writes, injecting a
little humor to her writing.
If you were to visit Dale’s house, you'd meet her husband, 2
kids, their dog Lea (most people simply refer to her as The Beast...and for
good reason), their kitten Luna (affectionately known as Loony Luna), a gaggle
of ducks, and a flock of hens ruled by a tyrannical rooster they call The
Stump, or Stumpy. How he got his name is a long story...maybe she’ll tell you
sometime.
