Rina Amaya, I was born on January 20th in the village of Concepcion Batres, Usulutn, El Salvador; Central America. I am the first of five sisters. I studied in the school Francisco Campos. And in the I.N.U.; Instituto Nacional de Usulutan. My favorite writer; poetic lyric; is Alfredo Espino. Author of Jicaras Tristes. Every one of his poems gives the want to read it over and over again. I like to read the Sacred Scriptures. I love the Bible, that is the living word of God. My favorite food, is the food that I cook. And my favorite pastime is to walk on the seashore of the beach. I love to walk on the seashore of the beach and hear the loud ocean. And breathe the aroma, and it to cover me with its breeze. I also love to write children stories. In my childhood, when I was in fourth grade and the teacher commented on the biography of Alfredo Espino and his poems. I was amazed by him and his poems. And I said in my heart that I will write beautiful poems like him. I am a story teller and a poet. I feel made because I have lots of stories to publish in English and Spanish. If it is Gods will. Now I live in Los Angeles, California since 1996.
