verbs - Simple present, or present continuous?

Which one is correct:




Today, she talks to me by phone from the middle of Italy. What is she doing there? She is working on her novel.




In the first sentence, is the tense correct, with the sentences that come after it?



Or should it be:





Today, she is talking to me by phone from the middle of Italy. What is she doing there? She is working on her novel.




Should the simple present be used or the continuous? I have to use "today" even though I know that at the moment or right now would have been a better choice.
