about me

I was a bookworm as a kid and always dreamed of writing the kinds of books that I would love to read. I studied engineering in college because I thought it was the next best thing to magic. Now I live and work as a UI/UX designer in the San Francisco Bay Area, immersed in the startup culture that produces many of the real-world wizards that inspired my debut novel, REALMS UNREEL:

I'm currently collaborating on an illustrated version of Realms Unreel with my friend Ian Steplowski, an artist and character modeler at Pixar. We recently raising money for the first print run of the illustrated book on Kickstarter:

In addition to working on the illustrated version of Realms Unreel, I'm also writing a companion volume to Realms Unreel entitled Bonds Endure.

Hi Orma, I like your pitch and your opening chapter. You have a good sense of how to set your scenes and switch between points of view, and your pacing seems good so far. You do a good job describing your characters and developing their unique attributes. You could improve this manuscript dram... view book

Ivan, your love of the language comes through clearly in THE BEHOLDER, which is full of interesting word choices and expressions. Your profile suggests that you're a non-native English speaker, and so I think it's impressive that you have such a command of the language. However, I think the rich ... view book

There's a lot of beautiful descriptive language here, and you've clearly done the hard work of creating a rich world history and interesting character backstories. ... view book
