Today's Author Showcase begins with an amazingly innovative project that brings together a very intriguing sound with choreographed lights and dance. 
When Ben and I had our first phone conversation I realized that we were very much alike. We talked a lot about artists like Bonobo, Burial, Aphex Twin, and how Rave Culture affected our past and still affects out present. I told him what I wanted to do in terms of telling a story with this music and he told me what the art project is overall. -
The end result is a mesmerizing show of light, sound, and modern dance. In talking with

Everything is magnetic! - physics explained
I can tell you from experience that many Curie Curators will sometimes not even give a science related post a second look. The vast majority of them turn out to be Wikipedia sounding, or worse yet, copied and pasted info from Wikipedia or a similar site. Every once in a while though you come across a hidden gem in the mass of boring, technically reading posts from people who often times don't even understand what they are trying to say in the post.
This is certainly one of those rare times.
The whole while she sounded like she knew exactly what she was talking about, and with good reason, as she shared the following with me -
I studied physics and I have some background in science and teaching, I have been a private tutor in math, physics and chemistry for 15 years. The thing that I absolutely love is promoting science and making it interesting to people. Science is interesting and it is fun, people should know that :-) I had this idea how every now and again I would write a fun "physics-explained" post. This one about magnetism was the third one. So for now, I have this:
Be sure to head on over to her blog page for that and many other great posts outside of the realm of science. She just became an aunt again and posted step by step instructions on how to make some felt decorations for babies - Felt decorations for babies - I BECAME AN AUNT!

Next up is an amazing Open Mic entry, a cover of the Sia song Chandelier. This is one of those rare times where I can actually share the names of each of the musicians involved in the video because they are all on the site with us. Those playing the music include -

The Author Showcase takes a bit of a darker turn now to share some powerful photographs from
I may be good at depicting beautiful imagery but what many people don’t realize is that i’m just as aware of and capable of capturing the imagery nobody should ever have to witness. For every beautiful picture I’ve ever taken I can just as easily take one that would ruin your day... week... life... reality" -Thousand Word
As intended these darker photos will likely speak to each person viewing them a bit differently. As such, I will save my own words and allow them to speak to you as you head over to view them.
Ultimately my passion is all forms of expression. You can find poems, art, photography, and music throughout my steemit profile. More to come! -

Long Walk :: A Short Story :: [The Writers' Block Art Prompt Contest Entry]
We wrap up today's Author Showcase while remaining on a bit of a darker note. Author
I have a brother that has been fighting thoughts of suicide for many years. He's always told me that once you start thinking about it, it's very hard to stop. You always look for opportunities to do it, and tease yourself with the power you think you have to end it.
