Hello. My name is Amanda. But I go by Maira MacGowain at ren faires. I have been doing them for 13 years now and love every minute of them. I am co-owner of a sword fighting group with my father called The Swords of Valour. We do live steel shows that are never choreographed. I am also a loving wife and stay at home mother of two beautiful daughters ages 8 and 10 months. I am addicted to watching all of the CSI's and I love Law and Order SVU and CI.
