I’m James Warden, a writer of fantasy novels, short stories, and more. Welcome to my website, where you can follow Lorellum Fantastica, read short stories, view artwork, and more. If you want to follow my journey—including but not limited to a growing photo album of my dogs—join James’ Journal!

I’m currently seeking traditional publication for Blood of Mezmatl, a fantasy novel inspired by Central American rainforests and cultures.
