Dario Giardi

Hello, my name's Dario Giardi.

I was born in Rome in 1977, I work as a researcher in the fields of environment and energy, although my true passion is writing. I have written the tourist guides "Bretagna: natura, arte, poesia e mistero tra oceano e cielo" and

"Roma: misteri ed itinerari insoliti", published by Polaris (www.polaris-ed.it/).

Adudan is my debut novel. It's an urban fantasy which I think is very innovative and special for the message it contains, but I'll leave you to judge for yourselves.

I have decided to take a gamble with self-publishing on the Amazon platform.

America is the land of opportunity. Self-publishing has made many dreams come true. I'm sure it's a positive sign of changing times and of the direct power that new technologies give readers, bypassing the old, traditional publishing system to give a voice to what for me is the only criterion for publishing success: the public.

My favorite quote?

"Per aspera ad astra."

My favorite genre?

Urban fantasy and paranormal romance.

For me, imagination is the principal source of human happiness - Keats was right when he said "The imagination is like the dream of Adam: Adam awoke, and found that it was truth." An epic story isn't always so far away from everyday life, and fiction can come close to reality.

The secret to my creativity?

As Albert Einstein once said: "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
