Long Time No See!

Hello friends/fans/followers:

I just wanted to stop by and tell everyone that I’m back from my Cannes/London trip.

I returned a few days ago, but am still recovering from jet lag and a slight fever.

Other than that, I’ve been busy working on a series of posts about my trip. I can’t wait to share my amazing experience with you all!!!

In the meantime, you can check out my freshly revamped homepage: gegallas.wix.com/writer

Also, don’t forget to check out today’s new page of The Poet and the Flea.

Talk to you soon,

G. E.
