I am currently attending Harvard and pursuing a degree in Humanities. My passion is books and writing. Books taught me things about myself, the world, and society in ways I never thought possible. It is thanks to books I know who I am and allowed me to discover my passion for writing. There is nothing like crafting characters and capturing the voice of a story, bringing it to life on the pages. Thanks to every bookish bestie in the book world, it has allowed me to spread my joy of reading to people worldwide!

How The Last of the Magi by G.S. Eli Came to be. A message from the author G.S. Eli. Dear Carly Rae subscribers, I feel now that The Last of the Magi was always somewhere deep inside of me, even before I knew I was going to write a book. Growing up a Romani boy in America, my parents kept me out of school, as is tradition, so I never formally learned how to read and write or about history for that matter. I did attend some school, but too little to be considered fully literate by anybody’s standards. My only true education came…
