Danielle Orsino didn’t set out to become a fantasy author it started in a hospital room. Telling stories to distract a patient during IV therapy. Those small tales grew into The Birth of the Fae. A series that now has her dubbed the “New Fabio of Fantasy,” gracing her own covers in full cosplay. Danielle is one of the few authors to embody her characters not just on the page. But in real life, bringing readers into her world. Through performance, martial arts precision, and fearless creativity.

In this conversation, Danielle pulls back the curtain on the underbelly of publishing. The mistakes and lessons she’s collected as an untrained writer, and the joy of building a fandom around the Fae. We talk comic book influences, martial arts discipline, and the bold decision. To blur the line between author and character. For anyone who’s wrestled with self-doubt or been told you “don’t belong.” Danielle proves that imagination, resilience. A bit of cosplay can rewrite the rules of fantasy.
