DOMINICIAN GENNARI: Fantasy Genius

---

Dominician grew up in the rough western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, in the 80's after his migrant parents fled war-torn Europe after WW2. As a young child, he would fantasise about imaginary creatures living in his backyard and he would dream of magical worlds. After signing his name at the top of his final Year 12 examination, he rose from his chair in the middle of the school gymnasium and walked out, leaving the exam paper just about blank.


In 1998, Dominician embarked on a challenging path, taking on a laborious factory job. Despite battling depression, he clung to his dream of becoming a successful musician, performing in his Industrial-Metal band. His determination led him to a job at a music store, where he honed his music production skills. During his lengthy lunch breaks, he would escape into the major book stores in the CBD, where he discovered his literary hero, J.R.R. Tolkien. Inspired by the rich texts and luscious descriptions in Tolkien's writings, he once again found solace in the magic of story and myth. These daily visits to the book store ignited an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and he devoured books on astronomy, religion, and the ancient world.


As the years unfolded, Dominician's creative spirit flourished, giving birth to his mythical world, Númaria. This world, meticulously crafted, boasts a rich history and a complex ecosystem, providing the perfect backdrop for the vast timeline of his unfolding story.


Submerging himself in the fields of forbidden archaeology, esoteric wisdom, USAPs of the US government, and ancient warfare, a great awakening occurred as the veil of secrecy was lifted from his eyes. After learning humanity's obscured past was stranger than fiction, his desire to create a truthful and artistic message through fiction arose. This acquired knowledge segued into writing his epic fantasy series The War for Ascension and the sequential standalone series The Ascension Archive.


Having spent over two years working alongside renowned Hollywood producers, Dominician garnered invaluable knowledge of screen craft and storytelling. But due to unforeseen events, he pursued his dream of writing wholesome fantasy stories.


Guided by fantasy author and genius, David Farland, Dominician is set to expand his grand mythology, The War for Ascension into a multimedia book and novella opus, along with accompanying soundtracks of epic music.


Dominician is also a highly trained Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor and a BJJ National Champion. He currently lives in Melbourne, Australia.
