VS: Mayra, I want to thank you for being my guest here on The Writing Mama today. You and I have known each other via the internet for a few years now, but I am sure there is more to learn about you, as I have found out with others. Now I know you have a daughter who also writes, so my first question is do you have any other children and what are their ages? Mayra: First, I want to say thanks for having me on your blog, Virginia . I do have two kids: a girl (who is the writers) age 12 and a boy age 18 (he still counts as a kid for me!).
