Did you grow up telling stories? Is this an innate skill or did you learn this art from a mentor? I found in the murmur of the bees that you kept the reader mentally and emotionally engaged and anticipating and guessing what might come next. It was such a pleasant feeling. Thank you.

Dear Victoria,
Sorry it took me so long to answer. I just saw your question!
I was always eager for stories. I had a storyteller for a nanny and I became a reader very early on. I think that's how I learned to spin a story. Becoming a novelist took me a while, though. I did not have a mentor per se, but I did find that joining a creative writing workshop kept me disciplined (something I needed).
I believe that Literature should touch something in us, something deep. And it makes me happy to encounter readers that let themselves be swept away. Thank you!

Hola Sofía. En la noche de ayer "devoré" los últimos 48 capítulos que me faltaban para terminar tu libro: "El murmullo de las abejas" y terminé derramando un montón de lágrimas pero encantada de leer tu historia. Siento que no puedo dejar de hablar de ella. :D ¿Existió en tu mente otro final? o ¿sabías desde el principio cómo acabaría? Gracias por escribirla. ¡Saludos! desde el Estado de México. ^u^
