Like most writers, Dario Ciriello has lived several lives in one and enjoyed an eccentric career trajectory. He’s worked in a warehouse, driven trucks, drag raced motorcycles, had a small import business, enjoyed a twenty-five year career as a decorative painter, and currently divides his time between writing and CAD design. A graduate of the Clarion West writing program, Dario has been a finalist in the prestigious Writers of the Future Contest, sold several short science fiction and fantasy stories, and edited three critically-acclaimed anthologies for Panverse Publishing. Aegean Dream is his first nonfiction work.
