v2036 is a contemporary novel that brings entertainment and cohesion to an otherwise depressing and incomprehensible subject: Venezuelan politics. It transposes the depth of rivalry that exists between the most influential sectors of today’s Venezuelan society by having them battle one another not in the streets, but in a controversial story filled with delightful characters that push the boundaries of fiction.

Taking historical events as the starting point, v2036 introduces new players in key roles that alter not just the way that these events enfolded, but the influence they had in the current socio-political structure of the Bolivarian Republic.

In v2036, the timeline moves from the Venezuela that was to the one that is, and to the one that it might become in the not so distant future. The gripping plot boldly illustrates the difficult task of governing a highly volatile South American nation through the lives of three men that represent the opposing factions of today's Venezuelan society. Eleazar Maso (a military ruler), Bernardo Acosta (an opposition activist), and Carlos Rodríguez (an expatriated citizen) will play the famous--and infamous--roles that could lead the once proud nation to a brighter future . . . or to its final demise.

v2036  will hit Amazon.com on Q4, 2010.

Chronicles of a Nomad: Memoirs of an Immigrant is a provocative novel where wit and reality join hands to challenge the common misconceptions about today's new wave of immigrants. The plot highlights the reasons why well-established citizens in the Americas also leave the south in favor of the north and adresses why in recent years many have immigrated to other continents instead. By portraying what happens behind the scenes, the story provides an insider’s perspective about the way plenty of today’s young immigrants live their lives and why their generation could best be described as the Immigrant Generation.

This first-person adventure is narrated by Carlos Rodriguez, an intrepid young immigrant who embarked in a journey of self-discovery and reflection by confiding his secrets to the reader. Although he spends his childhood in abundance, at age fifteen, the worsening state of his troubled nation leads him to Denver, Colorado, where he ends up overstaying the time allowed on his tourist visa. Not many years later, he is left with no choice but to immigrate to Greece, where the ghosts of his past challenge his future and his search for home leads him farther away from Caracas, Venezuela, his hometown.

The eventful story takes the reader on an exciting roller-coaster ride through three very different countries and a multitude of obstacles that are often serious and humorous at the same time. The author’s easy-going style can be enjoyed by readers of all origins and political affiliations, and his chapters include topics on family, education, culture, religion, economy, politics, love, and of course, immigration.

While this novel is a work of fiction, it is a reflection of the author’s own experience and was inspired by the stories of the many immigrants with whom he has crossed paths, making it a worthy read for those wishing to embark on a truly heartfelt adventure.
