OTHER INFO
·
When Ilona Kanto was young, she won several writing competitions. The writer of
the original short story of Jaguar Priest, Tuula Pelttari, has
won prestigious awards in ancient history-based stories and novels. Ilona Kanto
has been writing as a journalist for almost all her life and co-authored three
books.
As a journalist, quite many stories have involved themes of paranormal
or ufos. The theme of Jaguar Priest touches those areas as well. The main
character Ah-Kin-May is able to read minds, and he is able to change his
form from a human being into a bird or even a jaguar. These stories belong
to Mayan mythology. When Spanish conquerors came, they claim some Mayans
telling how they have seen a human changing their form.
PS: If being a female writer is not commercial enough, Ilona
Kanto is fine with the idea for her being J.W Kanto.
