She was born in the Philippines before moving to Australia at a young age, where she soon discovered that almost nobody there knew how to say her name. To make up for it, she spent her time daydreaming about fantasy worlds filled with characters who had more unusual names than she did. Now, she writes stories about her Filipino heritage and its fantastical folklore. When she's not writing, you can find her drinking copious amounts of black tea or getting lost in the pages of a book.\u003cbr\u003eymdino.com\u003cbr\u003e@yxavel_writes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Yxavel Magno Di\u0026#195;\u0026#177;o \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":47430180896925,"sku":"9781547615162","price":37.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_8a1cc601-4631-443b-a1a6-6b8839e50b32.jpg?v=1763764794","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-firefly-crown-9781547615162","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
