About

Mae g’ovannen! Nathlo!

That is to say… Well met! Welcome! Thank you for stopping by my corner of the internet. Whether you’ve stumbled upon me as a fellow aspiring author or someone interested in my writing, I appreciate your time.

A Brief Monty-Python Introduction:

What is… your name? Lora Orme

What is… your quest? To seek publication.

What is… the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Well, that depends. Is it a magical swallow with a +3 speed bonus or a regular swallow?

I write fiction, primarily fantasy. My completed MS is a NA urban fantasy which includes vampires – not so popular as of late, but I aim to change that by subverting common tropes and twisting vampires as you know them.

Additionally, I’m writing two other novels. One is an YA steampunk science fantasy and the other is a YA Robin Hood retelling with magic! Please check out my projects page for more details.

Author LR Orme with Abby

You may be thinking: All that is great, but who are YOU?

Well, I’m a Midwest girl with a double major in animal biology and English from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. I’m also a gamer girl with D&D, WoW, and Assassin’s Creed constantly tickling my brain. A few other hobbies include: sword fighting, creating jewelry, playing with my dog (Abby), and baking.
