T. D. OREL DIDN'T RETAIN A SINGLE LESSON IN MATH CLASS BECAUSE HE WAS TOO BUSY DAYDREAMING ABOUT RIDING DRAGONS, SERVING THE FIRE NATION, HUNTING ORCS, BECOMING HOKAGE, AND CATCHING THE COOLEST POKÉMON. TO BE FAIR, HE STILL DAYDREAMS ABOUT THOSE THINGS, BUT HE EVENTUALLY DISCOVERED HE COULD CHANNEL THAT OVERACTIVE IMAGINATION INTO ELABORATE STORYTELLING AND DENSE WORLD-BUILDING. WHEN HE IS NOT WRITING, HE LOVES PLAYING BEACH VOLLEYBALL AND SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT BREAKFAST BURRITO. HE IS THE AUTHOR OF THE TITAN’S NEST SAGA, A YA DRAGON RIDER SERIES, AND HAS SHARED HIS PASSION FOR WRITING AT SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS ALL ACROSS AMERICA.

BEYOND WRITING, T. D. HAS BUILT A THRIVING DIGITAL PRESENCE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, WHERE HIS “INNER-THOUGHTS” SKITS HAVE REACHED MILLIONS OF VIEWERS ON INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK. HIS CONTENT EXCLUSIVELY HIGHLIGHTS SCI-FI AND FANTASY MEDIA IN LITERATURE, FILM, TELEVISION, AND GAMING. HIS GOAL IS TO CREATE POSITIVE AND WHIMSICAL CONTENT FOR HIS COMMUNITY, AND HE HOPES TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT BEING KIND IS “FEAKIN’ SICK.”
