Career
Moreno's literary career began with his debut novel, The Lavender Room (1697 AN), a compelling exploration of high society and its discontents, which instantly earned him critical acclaim. He gained a wider audience with Swans of Potosí (1703 AN), a novel that juxtaposed the beauty and decay of Nouvelle Alexandrie's elite during the early 1700s.
His transition to true crime came with The Midnight Palace (1712 AN), a chilling recount of a notorious crime in the heart of Punta Santiago. The book was a departure from his earlier works but solidified Moreno's reputation as a versatile and fearless writer.
Beyond novels, Moreno has also made significant contributions to the theater. His play Whispers of the Wind (1708 AN), which dramatized the struggles of love and loss of an aging New Alexandrian couple living in Parap, received widespread critical acclaim and several theater awards.

In the realm of cinema, Moreno has penned the screenplay for the film Echos in the Silence (1719 AN), a story that delves into the lives of a small coastal community in Alduria that is forever changed by a mysterious event. The screenplay was praised for its poignant narrative and rich character development. Moreno's latest screenplay, The Glass Facade (1724 AN), explores the deceptive nature of appearances in the high-stakes world of corporate espionage and has been optioned for production by a leading film studio in Nouvelle Alexandrie.
