This is where you get to know me a bit more.
While I have always loved written words and I have quite a few notebooks filled with notes and unfinished drafts with different stories, I never took a step further with them. It was not until my five-year-old boy told me the story of a monster “who loved throwing stones,” and I started writing it for him and his two-year-old sister (guess what, she also loves throwing stones!), that it clicked that I had to finally get my stories (in this case our story) out to the world.
Though my son would say that I changed the story a bit from his original idea, the whole Monster thing is still his creation. His idea, my words and the beautiful illustrations made by our awesome illustrator Alejandra Moreno have brought Monster to live! I am beyond proud and happy that my publishing career begins with a story created together and so close to our hearts.
This is just the beginning; there are more Monster books to unveil. And now I am more confident that many of the other stories scribbled in my notebooks will finally see the light of day.

I fell in love with written words when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I started making up scary stories about ghosts and monsters to get my sister’s attention. I was so captured by the words, which felt as if someone else were whispering them to me, that I grabbed some pieces of paper and started writing the story.
From then onward, I tried to capture other stories with my own voice. And writing papers for schools became one of my favorite activities.
Talking about rhymes… oh!!! how I loved them! I remember my paternal grandfather sitting down with my sister and encouraging us to make up silly poems related to soaps (which really sounded like advertising). They were so fun that I started writing small poetry to my family members whenever they had a birthday.
I loved writing so much that it was only natural I would choose journalism as my career.
If you have read up to this point, I might as well tell you a bit more about my name. My mom made up my name in a time when made-up names were not yet so common in my country. My dad wanted to name me after her, but she didn’t want to. So he said, “Then you need to find a name I like better than yours.”
So after deep thought, my mom came up with a mixture of their names: Edmon (my dad’s name) and Maria (her name) EDmon Y (“and” in Spanish) MARia –> Ed + y + mar = EDYMAR!
And as you may guess, my dad loved it, so it became my name.
When it comes to my last name like people in most Latin American countries; I have two family names: Ablan, which I got from my dad and Pacheco which I got from my mom. Most people just use the paternal last name, but I love using both. Besides, I feel I got the writing gene from both sides of the family, so I feel that by using their names, I honor those who came before me.
