As
a young boy he spent many summers reading classics such as "The
Adventures of Sherlock Homes" and "The White Company" by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle. His creativity was constantly being pushed as he learned
more and more about the world around him. His taste in literature

into classical poetry devouring everything from William Blake to Milton,

Frost, Khalil Gibran, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, Paul
Verlaine, Walt Whitman, Alan Ginsburg, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs,

his sheer love for reading had him take pen to paper around the age of
20.
Did
I mention he’s a Musician? ...You can often find him playing his
guitars (both electric and acoustic) and keyboards and singing (4 octave
ranges) in his home studio. He’s a classically trained music aficionado
-trained early on by Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Hayden, Liszt, as well
as Big Band, Jazz and Rag Time. Spending time with his father at the Los
Angeles Philharmonic; experiencing his first orchestra concert at the
age of 9.
Elias
the Gourmet Cook…Oh My!...His Japanese mother and grandmother trained
him very well in fine culinary skills both in cooking and food
appreciation from all over the world such as Italian, Indian, Moroccan,
Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hawaiian, Pilipino, Greek, and Polish.
When
Elias is not reading, writing, composing music or cooking…he can be
found listening to music, playing games, hanging out with his kids. He
enjoys going to concerts, going on culinary adventures, sightseeing,
spending the day at the beach or in the mountains…just doing something
adventurous!
Recently,
Elias became inspired by Gina Whitney, Scott Hildreth, R.K.Lilley &
Mia Sheridan for their Adult Erotic/Romance/BDSM writings. Cain ~ Sins
of the Father is an epic romance with hot passion, love and vengeance.
It’s a fusion of the traditional bible story, a battle between two
brothers with wicked twists and turns bringing us forward to the present
day.
From
Elias…The fans are everything to me. They drive me to be even more
creative. Their insight, feedback, the give and take are all what I live
for. I am very people oriented and outgoing - I love interacting with
the people reading my work
I
love pulling the reader into what I'm seeing and feeling. I love to
envelop the person reading my book into a sensory wonderland as the
words stimulate the senses and thought processes and totally pull them
into my story and the world I am painting so broadly before them.
He’s decided to share his passions with the world – Enjoy the journey with Elias Raven!

CAIN: Rage of Angels
Elias,
never saw it coming. The deception had been flawless. He had looked
into the dark eyes of his half-brother Qaylin. The torrent of anger and
rage rose from the dark abyss of his soul at what this bastard had done.
It was unlike anything he had ever felt before or since… A million
times a million Cains screamed across the Heavens. Their voices echoed
in his head demanding the blood of the betrayer, Qaylin!
Elias
knew it was time he stopped fighting from a position of weakness. He
had to get up and take the fight to the enemy’s doorstep. He only had a
small window of time to do so. He would have to strike while they
thought he was beaten. Then stand toe to toe against the forces of Hell
itself. Somehow he had to even the odds in their favor and give him and
his men a fighting chance to win. But his ancient enemies were powerful.
It appeared as though the heavens had been eerily quiet as if the
matters of men no longer mattered to the angelic host. It seemed Lucifer
had full dominion over this mortal coil. If that was so, what chance
did Elias and his men have against such an enemy?
“The Rage of Angels” is the explosive second book in the CAIN series.
