Hello, dear readers.
If you have been following my not-so-consistent blog, you are probably expecting my first work of fiction ever posted on Steemit. I'm sorry, today is not the day, but I will share it with you soon! If you are new here, I hope you feel comfortable and stay.
These are hard times (no, I won't talk about the drop in the Steem value, or about the drop in my self-esteem), but I believe in the high importance of what we, the content creators and the curators, are doing here. Therefore, I will keep contributing in the best way I can: finding what makes me unique. I intend to make you participants of my journey, whether as receivers or as inspiration givers.
Having said that, I state here that I have made a commitment with myself. I will write an author showcase of my own. This humble initiative is to give some more exposure, recognition, and appreciation to those amazing persons I cross paths with, being a Curie curator. Without further to add, here is the first edition.

With surgical details and a touch of humor, he brought us his most recent case: an old farmer who had a "close encounter of the power pole kind". His explanations are really interesting and they have the potential to awaken curiosity about the world of power lines and transformer. He is one of those very consistent and unrewarded authors that contribute to the platform in more that one way.

A while ago, she brought us something different: a short story she wrote when she was 13 years old. It's inspired by the events that led to John Lennon's death, accompanied by some original watercolors (made by her and an awesome friend,

A while ago, he brought us some of his points of view on the theatrical space he was involved with. He did an incredible job by capturing brief, raw and moving moments of a play, "Carne de mi carne" by Dairo Piñeres, in a unique way. With no further introduction, let yourself be immersed in his outstanding photographs.
Today I chose to feature four brilliant authors. I have a lot of awesome content to catch up with, so expect more editions very soon. I hope you have found this brief showcase worth your time. Please, let me know in the comment box any suggestions or opinions.
