Karen Menezes wrote The Chronicles of Capherayna over three years. She spent the next few years editing the manuscript in her spare time while working a full-time job in web development. She loves spending time in nature, never misses a sunset and is fascinated by food, forest mythology and alternative healing therapies. Some of the themes she touched upon in the series took place as global events a few years later, including the COVID-19 pandemic. She is currently based in Mumbai, in a home where parakeets and sparrows are spotted every morning while sipping a cup of masala chai.
