A prelude

As a first time author, for several weeks I thought about what to post on this site, and given that my first book will be released soon, I concluded that it would be a good idea to build up a thread of short posts that would help bring context of Venezuela’s history to a foreign reader unfamiliar with the country that is the main topic of case study of my book, the introductory manual of How to Destroy a Country.

Venezuela’s modern history begins in 1498 with Columbus’ third voyage. Six years before, the italian sailor had discovered America thinking it was the coastal indian islands of Asia, while seeking for more efficient trade routes to the east.

This event triggered the race to colonize the newfound lands, with Spain, Portugal, England, France and Netherlands being the primary colonizers seeking the vast resources of the new continent.

3, 2, 1… Launch!

Today July 21st I am officially launching my marketing for the upcoming release of my first book, the Instruction Manual to learn How to Destroy a Country.

In the upcoming weeks I will be post updates related to the book launch, its cover, pre-order status, advanced reviews, a few excerpts, and of course the official launch date, as well as continue to write as I have been doing about current news, sports, movies and other themes. I will also share a few of my personal ideas related to the book and a couple of personal experiences which I consider should be fair for the reader to get to know me and learn a bit about me.

Thanks for visiting my site and for subscribing!
