Norma Tarditi is an Italian bestselling author of fantasy romance and romance novels. She was born in 1982 in Italy, where she still lives out in the countryside or ‘in the middle of nowhere’ as her friends would say. She shares a home with her husband Roberto and a big, clumsy dog called Ettore. She loves practicing yoga and going on long walks, whether by the sea or in the mountains. An avid reader, she appreciates most genres, though fantasy and romance novels are undoubtedly her favorites. As is the case with many book worms, Norma always dreamed of writing a book of her very own someday. However, she is not one of these authors who grew up with a pen in hand, and a thousand stories stashed away in the cupboard. Quite simply, one day, thanks to a flexible job and a little time on her hands, she picked a nice, sunny spot on her terrace, grabbed a notebook and a pen, and began writing what she thought would be a short tale. Word followed on from word, and the tale turned into a novel – the first of what are now seventeen books. ‘As the moon to the sun’ is Norma’s first book to be translated into English.
