S E OrlowskiWriting under the pen name S. E. Orlowski, Simone is a New Zealand-born (pākehā) author based in Melbourne, Australia, writing fiction that blends mythology, power, and morally complex characters. While best known for her fantasy work, her stories spn genres and consistently centre strong, queer female leads. A late-diagnosed neurodivergent writer, she brings a unique lens to her storytelling, crafting immersive worlds where chaos and history intertwine.By day, she works in logistics; by night, she builds intricate worlds and asks "what if?" far too often-chasing story ideas before they disappear. When she's not writing, she can be found deep in a D&D campaign, lost in a video game, or finding inspiration through music, film, and the outdoors. Read More Read Less
