Since at a very young age, he has demonstrated a very strong passion for reading, and the discovery of Sadegh Hedayat’s Blind Owl, along with Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, triggered in Elia the desire to write. He has composed a large number of short stories, but none of them have ever been published because of his pledge to produce a unique and meaningful piece of work before committing any of his work to publication.
Elia immigrated to the United States in 2006 and started working more seriously on developing and rewriting his short stories. He published his first novel, The Last First Time, which depicted a different approach to relationships and married life. His second novel, The Day Before Tomorrow, is a never-before-told love story of two lovers’ odyssey. Elia is currently working on his third novel, Ineffable, which is about an extraordinary tale of time travel.view less
