She went to school at Rhydlewis, one of her schoolmates being Caradoc Evans. Moelona had written her first novel for an eisteddfod in 1907 but it was not published until 1918. As a result of joining a British-French Society in Cardiff, she had become acquainted with the works of Alphonse Daudet, several of which she translated for Welsh-language periodicals.
In her novel Bugail y Bryn she evokes the Welsh dialect of south Cardiganshire, with an explanatory note (before page 1) of the most common distinctive features.
They had no children.
