About Us

luke author
Luke Derderian lives just outside Providence, Rhode Island, with his partner, Cole, and their rescue dog, Chandler—the mellow pup who inspired one half of this bedtime duo. By day, Luke designs automated-marketing journeys at Degreed and by night, you’ll find him in the kitchen testing a new recipe.
Chandler & Clover Say Goodnight marks Luke’s first foray into children’s literature, and he’s already jotting notes for future tales in the “Chandler and Clover” series—stories he hopes kids (and adults) everywhere will revisit long after lights-out.
cole author
A Pittsburgh native, Cole Exline earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Brown University, which brought him to New England. Today, he channels that analytic curiosity at Hayden Consulting Group, turning thorny client problems into clear, practical solutions.
Cole is also the lead singer of the band fortylove, trading slide decks for setlists and bringing the same creative energy to every song. He is eager to begin working on more Chandler & Clover books to expand the series, as the main Creative Director.
