Simona is a Romanian-born published author living in UK where she enjoys her profession as a radiographer and writing as her biggest passion. Her first traditional published poetry book, Visările dintre castani (Daydreams among chestnut trees) came out this year (Siono Publishing House in Romania). Her writings are posted online on Spillwords, Webcultura, eCreator and Belgium Time.
