R.H. Naranjo

I was born in Mexico City in November of 2004. The love for storytelling appeared inside of me from a very young age, mainly due to my parents. While my mom used stories to make me and my sister behave at home, my dad used them to keep us engaged during our commuting to school. It was like there that I first encountered Bilbo Baggins, Harry Potter, and the Count of Montecristo, but it was also there that I began telling stories of my own.

My desire to write a novel appeared somewhere in the early years of middle school, alongside my love for reading. Here, I met a wonderful teached called Mike Campbell, who read to us the amazing stories of 'A series of Unfortunate Events', and I also encountered the 'How to Train your Dragon' novels, which greatly shaped the way in which I read. It did not take long after that before I finally delved into magnificent worlds such as Hogwarts, Alagaësia, Narnia, and best of all, Middle Earth.

During my first years of high school, I met two amazing people who, alongside my parents, where the ones who motivated me the most: Douglas Sexton and Yussif Salim. Thanks to their support, I finished writing the first edition of Winged Horse Warrior in October of 2019, publishing it online only one month later. If not for Douglas, who kindly read the entire book (and survived my improving English), and Yussif, who translated the whole thing into Spanish, I would have never gotten to where I am today.

It was also in my high school that I got the priviledge of belonging both to the orchestra and choir, and that I met Luis Alberto Manzano, the choir's conductor. His lessons on music theory, on singing techniques, and on social life, helped me grow as a person in unimaginable ways. It is mostly thanks to him that I eventually came up with The Sacred Symphony, one of my most beloved books.
