I am the Loren! (Short for Laurence.) I'm a bit of an oddball, an old soul at home in the forests more than peopled lands. I'm a born idea man (head in the clouds) and a writer by habit. I write scifi/fantasy and I photograph nature, which can be as much or more breathtaking than make believe.

Just a note-- I owe a lot of my photographs (I think) to my beliefs, which are my own mixture of paganism, fairy beliefs, elementalism and earth worship. Getting close to the world with my camera, and capturing it for others to see, is part of that. So it doesn't seem fair not to mention it somewhere.

Other details: I'm not published yet--haven't sold writing unless you count poetry, or photos yet. One day I will! I work in retail as a manager, I'm 27, though I look a LOT younger. I'm a transman and proud of it. I'm admittedly pretty strange and different, but I'm proud of that too! Basically I have a lot of self confidence, though admittedly not much common sense. I hope to one day work and make money with just my art (writing and photography.)
