Most folk know me as Morteamore, Morty for short, and I'm a trans author in his 30's who, from as soon as I could string sentences into coherent paragraphs, knew I wanted to pursue writing professionally. Many of my stories and novels collected dust for years until the internet explosion of the 90's. With newly acquired access to other people who had the same passion for writing that I did, I found success as a fanfiction writer. But becoming a published author of original content still felt like a distant dream, and in the pre e-book era, it wasn't exactly easy. I never did give up creating worlds and characters to occupy them, but that goal became harder to achieve in the face of life, and eventually almost faded. The encouragement of my peers and their undying support pulled me back from the brink, and with the rise of the ease of self publication, I was able to publish Eco, an erotic M/M monster novella, in the spring of 2019. I have also published short, general sci-fi stories under the pen name M.A Olivieri. I am currently at work on two other novels, an M/M dystopian sci-fi book and an urban fantasy. In-between those, I enjoy working on fanfiction, primarily in the Borderlands fandom. My archvie can be found on AO3
