Phantom Electric Ghost Interviews: Danielle Orsino: Competitive Martial Artist, Cosplayer Nurse Turned Fantasy Author

Phantom Electric Ghost Interviews: Danielle Orsino: Competitive Martial Artist, Cosplayer Nurse Turned Fantasy Author Inspiration to culmination- how a chance meeting with a patient turned into a fantasy series  Biography As featured on the Tamron Hall Show  Danielle M. Orsino is an award-winning  fantasy novelist whose lifelong vision is to create whimsical realms that her readers can escape to. Her compelling word-weaving pays homage to a multitude of personal muses, from Chris Claremont and George Pérez (both famous comic book writers), to Anne Rice, Jim Henson and Wonder Woman.  The creative spark of storytelling has been with Danielle ever since she was a child, but martial arts and her nursing career took center stage into adulthood. Then, on a day like any other, it was reignited during the most unexpected of moments: while treating one of her patients. Seeing that they longed for a distraction during their arduous treatments, the floodgates of inspiration soon burst forth. So, Danielle took it upon herself to tell them a story; a fantastical narrative that would leave the confines of that IV room’s walls and land upon a page. Before she knew it, what started as an imaginative tale to pass the time, turned into book, followed by an entire series: The Birth of Fae published by 4Horsemen Publications, Inc. With an unwavering passion for cosplay and comics, it was a unanimous decision to place her on the cover of each book in all her Fae cosplay glory. The Birth of Fae also features Los, an affable chameleon dragon inspired by her fun-loving Yorkie named Carlos.   This “New Queen of the Fae’s” unmatched world-building and masterful Fae-origin retellings have led to an ever-growing queendom of “Fae-natics”. “After summoning this world into existence through an imaginative force of will, Danielle has scoured every inch of the landscape several times over. Critics often praise a story’s world building by saying that it feels “lived in.” Well, the world of the Fae certainly seems like that because Danielle herself has happily lived there for years as she worked to put all of this together... My favorite part of this story is that it is gloriously depicted in vibrant images.” -Clete Barrett Smith, New York Times Bestselling Author of  If We Were Giants, Aliens on Vacation series, and Magic Delivery Links: birthofthefae.com instagram @birthofthrfae_novel Donate to support PEG free artist interviews: PayPalMe link Any contribution is appreciated: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/PhantomElectric?locale.x=en_US Support PEG by checking out our Sponsors: Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.
