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.

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.
