The Dream is Becoming Reality: Tales from the Andes

Feb 17, 2025

Time keeps passing, and I’ve finally managed to save enough to print copies of my book Tales from the Earth and Sun. So, very soon, you’ll see me in the streets of Quito’s historic center, sharing the almost-forgotten secrets of the Andes cultures and the stories they’ve passed down through generations about the creation of the Earth and, even more importantly, of us, the humans.

I hope this fills the missing piece in the puzzle for an author who’s been sharing short stories online for over a decade and who desperately wants to live from writing. The dream is still alive, even though continuing to do the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. That’s why I’m working on another book that will soon be available for online purchase with worldwide shipping. This and other books are still in production, and all I want is to share the secrets I discover on my travels through the Andes.

That’s why this page is so important. That’s why printing this first book is so crucial. I feel that it’s time for the dream to become a reality, and for life to return the time I need to travel the Andes, rather than spending my days repeating monotonous tasks in a day job. This way, I can share everything I find with the world. That’s why I wrote the story of creation according to the Andean cultures, and that’s why I’m about to invest in printing physical copies of these stories to share with anyone who’s willing to listen.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We are all in this together, and all I want is to continue doing the work life has given me, to keep writing, despite how hard it is to find inspiration and sit down to write every day. So, without further ado, I’m off to seek a new path to bring you stories you won’t find anywhere else, stories no AI can replicate
