Elana Bregin is a Durban-based author and editor, with multiple published titles to her name. She has won various awards for her writing, including The English Academy's Percy FitzPatrick Award 2000 for The Slayer of Shadows. Her award-winning young adult titles such as The Red-haired Khumalo and The Boy From The Other Side are frequently chosen as readers for multi-cultural classrooms and several of her short stories have been published in collections in the UK and USA. A Masters thesis on the Bushmen people led to a close connection with Belinda Kruiper, culminating in the jointly written Kalahari RainSong. Shiva's Dance (2009) is Elana's latest novel.
