[close] Please join me for a Q&A discussion of my book, "In the Shadow of the Volcano: One Ex-Intelligence Official's Journey through Slums, Prisons, and Leper Colonies to the Heart of Latin America." We'll be starting this group on May 30, 2012--to give those winning a copy of my book on the Goodreads.com giveaway enough time to finish--and continuing until June 14, 2012. I expect a wide-ranging Q&A. Depending on your interest, we can cover specific themes included in the book, as well as travel and safety tips for women volunteers in Latin America, ideas for creating a meaningful volunteer experience abroad, and thoughts on making the transition from the cloak-and-dagger world of intelligence to civilian life. We can also swap tales of classroom woes and triumphs, as well as enlightening, awesome, or even hair-raising travel stories!

[close] This is a group for filling the request of books with Hispanic authors or written in Spanish. Also recommendations and suggestions are allowed.

[close] Este grupo, creado en el 2007, nace de una iniciativa colectiva para abrir un espacio a los hispanohablantes dentro de la amplia red de intercambio que nos ofrece Goodreads. Nuestro crecimiento depende de la participación activa de los miembros, los amigos que se agreguen, de los títulos recomendados, de los mensajes que nos enviemos, de las lecturas conjuntas que realicemos y de la ayuda que prestemos.
