Patricia Virginia L.

My love for literature has led me to dive into the world of writing and exploring the English language. So, for almost all my life, I have studied my mother tongue and the foreign language. Yes, I can say that, not only because of the university degree that qualifies me but also because of the experience I have gained throughout my professional career, I am bilingual. I am an English teacher with twenty-five years of experience in different educational institutions, both public and private. In this vast world, where daily obligations become tyrannical protagonists and where personal dreams float in every awakening, making joy flow giving true meaning to life, is where the passion for literature overflows uncontrollably. That continuous flow of feelings and experiences led me to publish my first book of short stories, "De Carne y Fuego." Winning some prizes and honorable mentions in different literature contests motivated me, and, therefore, my second book of short stories will soon see the light. But as love is tireless and seeks to satiate its appetite daily, I also dedicate myself to creating articles for websites. No matter the subject or theme, the thirst for writing quenches when I gently slide my fingers on the keyboard and allow my muse to pour on Word or WordPress what my imagination is creating. The same happens when I translate from English to Spanish or vice versa and interpret what the author is communicating. It is so crucial for those who write that their feelings are reflected in their writing paths that it would be unthinkable to transgress their words. Novels, stories, documents, every text that comes into my hands, I translate it in the same way and with the same devotion. It is not here where my love for letters ends. This tireless whirlwind of words often turns to the musical genre. I have been fortunate that several of my songs, some I can mention and others not for contract reasons, are now touring on international digital platforms, filling me with satisfaction. I have always been enthusiastic about literature and art in general. Therefore, I have produced and conducted radio programs where I have had the opportunity to interview singers, dancers, actresses, actors, theater and film directors, painters, among others. I have even organized other multitudinous cultural events; more than three hundred artists have performed on stage in some of them. I love literature, and I worship writing, and I manifest that passion in the dedication I give to each of my works.
