Nicoletta Glod is an engineer who spent more than 30 years designing everything from cars to submarines before deciding it might be safer to write about imaginary problems instead.
Originally from Romania and now living in Melbourne, Australia, she writes novels, short stories, poetry, and the occasional song—usually inspired by the curious moments that hide in everyday life. Her stories blend gentle humour, memorable characters, and the belief that a smile is often the shortest bridge between strangers.
When she's not writing, you'll probably find her by the ocean with a camera, tending her garden, experimenting with music, or wondering why buying a simple pair of jeans has become a modern-day expedition.
Nicoletta believes every person carries a story worth telling, and that changing countries, languages, and careers simply adds a few more interesting chapters. Her only regret is discovering that fictional characters rarely follow engineering plans.
