From the moment he could pick up a book and transform words into thoughts, D. Omran has been an avid reader. His childhood was spent immersed in the works of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, and Terry Brooks—hours lost in imagined worlds that sparked a lifelong love of storytelling. But reading alone was never enough.
Storytelling came naturally. Bedtime tales for siblings, eerie campfire yarns for friends, and even the occasional unsuspecting stranger became audiences to his early narratives. Still, the dream of becoming a fiction author remained as elusive as Bigfoot.
In his early twenties, D. Omran joined the United States Air Force and traveled extensively, once again stepping into landscapes that stirred the imagination. Castles in Bavaria became the strongholds of dragon-besieged monarchs. The haunted Bisham Woods in Berkshire conjured visions of Lady Hoby’s ghostly figure, desperate to steal souls. And in Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences, he envisioned a futuristic metropolis alive with synthetic humanoids, holographic signs, and patrolling security bots.
Despite all this inspiration, writing didn’t begin in earnest until a bit of “gentle prodding”—or rather, blunt encouragement—from friends and family finally nudged him forward.
Now, D. Omran channels that lifetime of experience and creativity into fiction, inviting readers who are curious and brave enough to step into the worlds he’s imagined.
