Raised and educated in North Wales, Oliver spent his early 20s working for a theatre-in-education music troupe for as long as it took to feel like his GCSE in Welsh language has provided its money's worth. Since then, he's lived in Portsmouth and currently works as a laboratory analyst. His biggest failure as a writer has been in his attempts to settle on a genre, having written about Middle Eastern vampires, African mercenaries and supernatural Welsh murderers. His first 'properly' published novel, "Riebeckite", is a near-future speculative fiction story set in the Persian Gulf.

Tahira photoset by Daria and Max

In case you didn't already see on my socials, I was recently lucky enough to collaborate with an incredible couple of photographers, Daria Shvedova and Maxim Chernikov, to produce a set of photos recreating scenes from Riebeckite. Here are just a few of them, and you can see many more on my Instagram (@orleaauthor). I'm blown away by how great these turned out. Let's be honest, if these were promo Read more of this blog post »

O.R. Lea liked a quote
Lean Your Loneliness Slowly Against Mine by Klara Hveberg
“It’s actually unfair that time has only one dimension, while space has three. Why shouldn’t time be able to romp and frolic just as freely as space? If time had several dimensions, it would be able to move forward and backward simultaneously—a circular motion in which time constantly returns to the start. Then it might be possible to give yourself some good advice in critical moments the next time you passed by. But on the other hand, the world would become a lonelier place. It would be more difficult to meet each other at a given time, because several coordinates would all have to match up. It’s probably best that time continues to be one-dimensional, like a straight number line.”

Lean Your Loneliness Slowly Against Mine by Klara Hveberg
“THE WORST THING about time is that it stands still. When she doesn’t have the strength to fill it.
No. The worst thing about time is that it passes. The way everything ends up being too late. There should be a deduction for the time in which you can hardly be said to be living.”
