About

EmC Lorenzo writes worlds with hidden rules and reads cards that find the real ones.

His urban fantasy and LitRPG novels are for people who suspect reality has mechanics most people never learn to read. His tarot practice is for people ready to stop guessing and see their situation clearly — the actual problem, the overlooked leverage, the next move worth making.

Writing and Creating

I've been dreaming up made-up worlds and magic ever since I was a kid, like any children. The things is, I never really grew out of it. As I aged, the scenes in my head became more vivid and detailed that the images became scenarios, conversations, settings and more.

The first "book" that I've written wasn't really a novel or a short story, it was an encyclopaedia of fantastical races and characters. They had descriptions of their physical bodies, their abilities and habitats. I wrote their names in word-art-style and made it look like, though handwritten, a proper book.

From then on, I started really writing. It was small scenes at first. Then it grew to chapters that never finished itself. Then around my early 20's, I crafted my first 100k manuscript--a YA action fantasy about a young girl with the power of time.

Though it hasn't been seen in the public eyes, I am very proud of it. Then I kept writing and writing, until I had a few novels completed, and then finally A Maiden's Misadventures with the Starless Sorcerer.

I had struggles in my writing, like any other struggling artist. I acknowledged them and let them take me for the day or the months or even years, but I still came back to it. The images and worlds in my head kept forming and happening, as I ride trains, travel different countries, work in the office and even as I slept. I will keep writing, imagining and creating until the day I can't do so anymore.

Tarot Reading & Spiritual Sense

My sister first taught me how to read fortunes using playing cards when I was around 14. Back then, it was something I thought was fun. Didn't think much of it. But around my senior year in high school, I found a deck of soul cards in my school's gymnasium. No one was around, and it felt like it had found me.

The more I used the soul deck, the more I liked the practise.

I found other decks I've connected with throughout the years. They added to the depth I wanted my readings to have — to be more complete. As I opened myself up to energies and possibilities, I learned to open my inner spiritual sense and tap into deeper meaning and spirituality.

As I grew up, I discovered that these abilities are not uncommon. My mom, aunt, and grandma share the same gifts — spirituality rooted in religion, cultural practices, and ancestral tradition and blood.
