Author Biography
Irefenia Salgonda; Very early had Irefenia developed a passion for writing. Her essays and short stories were circulated amongst friends, later she wrote longer stories but never considered publishing any of them. Once she had met Elensaar Gelindor, she accompanied him on journeys around the world, which allowed her to outlive her passion and fascination for ancient cultures, their history, and mythology, on four continents. During that time, she studied the English language and mastered as foreign-language correspondent with distinction. Especially during the time of travelling, she had extensively pursued her writing passion; therefore, it was not much of a surprise as she presented the first draft chapters of Ithilhin - Moonchild to her partner. Fascinated by the fantastic option to cast their long hedged notions into a breathtaking tale, they developed the idea to Crossbow Isle, - but this time with aim of publishing it. Elensaar Gelindor... ...had always a passion for music, art, and technology, a combination that led him all his life to the most unusual places and events. However, as restlessness might have lain in his blood, he followed the example of one of his grandfather's, - who had migrated in the early years of his life to China, - so eventually, he took up an assignment that led him to West-Africa, where he worked for several years. Once he had met Irefenia, for many years they both traveled around the globe in pursuit of business and lastly settled in Malaysia. After a turbulent time that saw the introduction of new and unusual businesses, they moved to Borneo, where Irefenia developed the first draft chapters of Ithilhin - Moonchild. From that point onwards, they both worked out the story's plot and its central theme. Lastly, Elensaar decided to author Irefenia's red-line-script into the version of this book.
