Chand Svare Ghei (1976) is a leading IT and telecommunications engineer. He has an extremely broad experienced background including time spent in Afghanistan, Kosovo and Bosnia.
He has written his books in more than twenty countries and he uses reality as his main inspiration as he feels that reality provides even better stories than fantasy. This is the reason why the world he pens is close to ours, but contains various mysterious deviations.
In his early years, his mother introduced him to the world of fiction. This was the beginning of his love for creating short stories. For much of his childhood and youth years he continued writing until an abrupt pause when he reached his twenties. Life demanded other things from him.
Until 2004, when he was traveling to some of the most romantic locations on earth, he was again convinced under the shining moon to re-enter the worlds created by queues of letters.
