Danielle Orsino – Author, Nurse, Martial Arts Champion
When Dani’s 6th grade math teacher gave up on her and labeled her lazy, her science teacher, Mr. Willman, taught her football and stats. Realizing she was dyslexic, he stepped in and taught her through the power of football. By using the idea of calculating the QB completion percentage and other stats, Dani found an appreciation for the game and a new way to look at math. Not only did she realize she wasn’t dumb or lazy, but she discovered a newfound confidence in herself. Since then, Dani has been a die-hard NY Giants- even through the dreaded Dave Brown era and an ongoing feud with Tiki Barber.
When football season is over, hockey is the next best thing. Fun fact- Dani owns a stick from Pat LaFontaine’s last game in 1998 as a NY Ranger before he announced his retirement.
Dani’s success as a Martial Artist took precedence over much of her adult life. Among her notable accomplishments are being inducted into the “1999 World Martial Arts Hall of Fame”, receiving the title of “Female Martial Artist of the Year”, and achieving the silver medal in the ” 2008 WKA World Championship”.
Dani had the exceptional privilege of performing for former U.S. President Bill Clinton and collaborating with Kung Fu legend Sifu Vincent Lyn and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Her staggering number of wins in martial art tournaments and variety of national and international titles got her featured on major channels such as TLC and CBS.
She then continued her academic journey to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology & Exercise Science. Additionally, she held the position of a Licensed Practical Nurse with a specific focus on Lyme disease research.
While martial arts and her nursing career took center stage into adulthood, the creative spark of storytelling has been with Dani ever since she was a child, While tending to a patient, Danielle experienced a serendipitous moment that reignited her passion for storytelling. Danielle’s surge of inspiration was unleashed as she witnessed a patient’s yearning for a diversion amidst their demanding treatments. Taking it upon herself, Dani narrated a story to them. What began as a creative narrative to pass the hours evolved into a published book, ultimately leading to a captivating series: The Birth of the Fae.
This “New Queen of the Fae’s” unmatched world-building and masterful Fae-origin retellings have led to an ever-growing queendom of “Fae-natics”. To embark upon a quest in an epic world unlike any other, visit Danielle M. Orsino’s official website at www.BirthOfTheFae.com. You can also connect with her on Instagram (@BirthOfTheFae_Novel).
With a string of awards under her belt, Dani is now a celebrated fantasy novelist who dreams of crafting immersive realms for her audience to lose themselves in. Her compelling word-weaving pays homage to a multitude of personal muses, from Chris Claremont and George Pérez to Anne Rice, Jim Henson, and Wonder Woman.
Her story of dedication as a nurse, an inspirational tale an author and her skill as a storyteller captivated the attention of many. Before long, the media reached out. Dani found herself as part of the “Let’s get Lit” Book club on the Tamaron Hall show in March 2023, highlighting her as an indie author to watch and featuring her origin story.
Today Dani resides in the Veil with her pups-Carlos, and Penelope. She spends her time writing, cosplaying, ignoring the real world, watching the NY Giants and practicing her martial arts.
