With a string of awards under her belt, Orsino is a celebrated fantasy novelist who dreams of crafting immersive realms for her audience. Her compelling word-weaving pays homage to a multitude of personal muses, from Comic book writer George Pérez to artists Jim Steranko and Mike Deodato Jr. Anne Rice, Jim Henson, and even Wonder Woman have all left an indelible mark on Danielle. She currently resides in the Veil with her pups, Carlos and Penelope, writing, cosplaying, ignoring the real world, watching football and practicing martial arts. 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 the Fae. When writing wasn’t at the forefront of her mind, Danielle was a successful Martial Artist. Some of her achievements include “1999 World Martial Arts Hall of Fame Inductee”, “Female Martial Artist of the Year”, “WKA World Champion Silver Medalist 2008”, and numerous more. She has also garnered hundreds of martial art tournament wins, various other national and world titles, and features on big-name channels like TLC and CBS. In March of 2023 she was featured on The Tamron Hall show as "An indie Author to Watch". She even had the rare opportunity to perform for former U.S. President Bill Clinton and collaborate alongside Vincent Lyn and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. You can connect with her on Instagram (@dmorsinoauthor). “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
