 He describes his writing style as "Gonzo Literature,"  combining the randomness of life, incorporating method acting (studied at Lee Strasberg Institute)   "channeling" emotions and "becoming" his characters as he writes while injecting real-life experience then writing, critically incorporating "real life" encounters and blending his fertile imagination to his storytelling..  An example of the Gonzo approach, with a salute to Hunter S Thompson-  Estefan spent two weeks with a shoplifting ring and other individuals on the fringe of society in order to write about the experiences with a knowledge-based perspective. "Gonzo writing" can expose a writer to dangerous situations he advised, as he was calling from a meeting of ladies with sexual addictions during this interview. There are 3 books coming in the next 12 months with many more beyond he promises.
