Please welcome author D. L. Gardner as we spotlight their latest book, Land of Two Moons.
The Joy of Creating!
Indeed, life is what you make it. I can’t express that enough. I’m in my 70s
and look back at my younger years, recollecting all the drama I experienced and
happy I found a way to lay it all aside. Peace comes with old age. I spend my
days now creating things. Hardly a day goes by that I’m not painting, writing,
or cooking, or growing plants because that’s what settles my soul. Creating.
My best friends are the same way.
It makes me wonder when I’m on social media and see mobs and mobs of people
yelling and screaming day after day, what do they have in life? If more people
took a break and developed their own individual lives doing something
constructive, perhaps we wouldn’t be living in such a ruthless age. And I’m not
just talking about the Western world; I’m talking about all people everywhere.
When I was a child, I loved making things, whether it was braiding
dandelions into bracelets, bars of soap into statues, making up tunes on the
piano, or painting and writing; I found solace in creating. What worries me is
that today, arts and crafts (and music) are put on the back burner in
child-rearing. Those are the skills human beings need the most for their own
happiness, and to make this world a better and more beautiful place!

"The gritty reality of trench warfare and the smoky chaos of riots is striking in D. L. Gardner's Land of Two Moons...a rich and ambitious fantasy novel that successfully builds a world trembling on the brink of magical and political upheaval. This is a delicate, intricate novel that rewards patient reading." - Independent Book Review
Arthur and Hallie are twin siblings, son and daughter of the
Duke of Lodesmoor. Humble teenagers who befriend the village people and
sympathize with their grievances. Their father, Lord Balmier, whose duchy is
approaching financial collapse, uses his subjects as pawns in a battle over a
string of valuable mines.
Lord Balmier sees his son's sympathy toward the serfs as an
alliance against him and soon acts to squelch Arthur's sedition.
Hallie clings to a forbidden love, and both siblings must
resist their father's harsh rule.
All the while they are unaware that their mother keeps a
mystical dragon named Killian, bound in chains by a spell, whose fate will
affect them all.
As the twin moons approach a rare and magical eclipse,
alliances shift, secrets unravel, and Arthur and Hallie must choose between
loyalty, freedom, and sacrifice to save their people and themselves.
“With strong
pacing and a cast of memorable characters – including a homesick dragon, this
is the perfect book for fans of the ‘fantasy’ genre. Highly recommended!” - The
Wishing Shelf
