- Have always loved to translate Fiction, Science Fiction and Non-Fiction books and I have started by writing some stories and poems myself. One story, the Tea Ritual got a national award at the National Science Fiction Convention. I continued translating some of my poems and stories for my personal pleasure and later on I started translating a Science Fiction book, "the Listeners" by Prof.essor James Gunn (published in a Romanian Science Fiction Magazine). From 2006 onwards I have started translating books more regularly for two major Romanian publishing houses (Humanitas and RAO) and for other (foreign) clients from English into Romanian. I have also translated a collection of political articles from Romanian into English which were later published as a book.
