Esteban Colon is a Multi-Talented Performer Who is Not To Be Missed

Gamers come from a huge variety of backgrounds. From computer programmers and fast food workers, to surgeons, security guards, and everything else in between, we are all drawn to the art of storytelling. Some of us, though, crave more than the rattle of bones and the rustle of papers. Some of us perform, transforming thoughts and emotions through our words to create something that, for a time, can steal a piece of someone to send it on a journey.

Esteban Colon is one of these people, and if you don't know who he is you should pay attention to him.

Beware a man with madness in his eyes, and a mic in his hand.

A Bevy of Bardic Beats

Esteban doesn't limit himself to one game as a professional. He's a spoken word artist, a poet, an author, and a great deal more besides. He's performed with The Goods (check out their Facebook page to listen to some of their tunes), and his book Things I Learned The Hard Way is an engaging read for those looking for something truly unique and different. A busy man, his profile at Poets and Writers gives ample testimony to his accomplishments.

And for those of you who like to try before you buy, here's a tasty tune he cut with The Goods. Warning, it will get in your head if you've ever gone through a break up.

Artists are a strange lot, but we can't do what we do without your support! Speaking of which, if you support Improved Initiative by leaving a donation at my Patreon page by the end of August, there's a free book in it for you! Also, don't forget to follow me on Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter to get my latest updates.

This car runs on nightmare fuel.

This is the latest anthology to feature one of my stories ("Double Feature" is the title and it's a fantastic romp through the freaky 50s for those who love period pieces).
