Dalia is a scholar of medieval Chinese history, longtime resident of East Asia (Taipei, Beijing, and Tokyo), and practitioner of various Chinese arts who has turned his decades of life experience into fiction writing. He has a great interest in the art of the story and the "art of immersion" in storytelling. Besides his academic writing, he has published a collection of Chinese style ghost stories (Strange Tales from the Dragon Gate Inn) and two historical fiction novels (first one: Dream of the Dragon Pool: A Daoist Quest) in the Chinese wuxia (heroic fiction) style.
