Simona Rinfreschi

In February 2021 Simona, her husband and daughter settled in a gorgeous little Spanish town.

Before that, although she was born in Italy, she’d lived in Cape Town from age 8. Her early years were tough, and she relied on books to give her a break from her life. Simona was never interested in a career as such and took any available job to make ends meet. This has given her a wide range of eclectic knowledge.

Some of her roles were the following: Library Assistant, School Librarian, Tour Guide, Medical Receptionist, Clinical Trial Administrator, Office Manager, Optometric Practice Manager and Daycare Teacher, to mention a few.

The main reason for the changes is that Simona has been living with Fibromyalgia and Depression since the age of 14, which landed her in hospital on several occasions.

It took moving to Spain and drastically changing her diet and lifestyle, to allow her to finish the first draft of her first novel and children’s books. 

All the books are currently in the editing phase.
