What do you hope readers will gain, find or enjoy because they’ve visited your blog? I want my readers to discover new Latino/a authors. You can't expect people to buy what they don't know about, so my job is to let them know what's out there when it comes to Hispanic literature.

Hi Susan, I appreciate you highlighting Mayra because I think she's quite a special person. She and I work @LatinoBookNews together. She writes the article, does the interviews, and I post the URL. Got it easy, don't I?!?!?! lol

Mayra is very dedicated to promoting and honoring all things written by Latino/as and keeping all of us up to date on what is current in Latino Literature. I know she pours her heart and soul into making sure that everyone gets a chance to shine in the spotlight on the examiner.

Thank you again for highlighting Mayra. She well deserves the honor.
