Maria Simbra...

...is a memoirist on page and on stage, where she chronicles her careers in neurology and television news and her unusual path to motherhood. Her words appear in lit mags and anthologies of verve, quirk, grief, fashion, menopause, and baseball, as well as in her book, Just a Moment of My Times, on Kindle Vella. Her words can be heard on the storytelling stages of Pittsburgh. She's a proud wife and mom, gecko master, writing group fanatic, and always down for coffee. She's also the director and principal at Ironed Words Productions.
