Drawing wisdom from history’s luminaries, Orlando champions the timeless principle: ‘Treat others as you wish to be treated.’ His novels examine this Golden Rule focusing on relationships, workplaces, society, and our innermost selves.

Orlando’s stories typically weave political drama with personal growth. Sam Alder, the 28-year-old surfer and activist in FIGHTBACK, embodies this. The narrative exposes both local and global forces at play, juxtaposed with the struggles of his homeland. COVER-UP takes this theme to an international scale with a sharply written contemporary thriller centred around the international diamond trade.

Besides novels, Orlando has written insightful non-fiction, over thirty scripts for major corporate films, and multiple film and tv soundtracks. He’s an experienced public speaker, a podcast host, and has interviewed Fortune 100 CEOs, political dignitaries and even royalty on film.

His business career includes pivotal projects in the birth of digital media and technology. These include the launch of the Information Society for the EU and G7, the BBC’s Digital Revolution, and Sky TV analogue and digital.

Orlando’s not just one thing – he’s a mix of change-maker, author, and business guru. They meet together in the novels, in powerful stories of change and improvement … or disaster.
