Meet Menelaos Gkikas, author of The Words of Emily Logan
What inspires you to write? So far, I’ve been influenced by the entertainment industry, fairytales, the stuff that dreams are made of and inner illusions as well as practicing article writing in many areas.

Harmony Project, Ep. 8: A Second Chance
Mauricio sat at a table near where he’d spoken to AJ days ago. He saw her still sitting there. Her lively face, the Goku tattoo on her left bicep, the stunned look in her eyes when she noticed him. He tried to convince himself she would be fine. Eve hadn’t sent him any updates in…

Harmony Project, Ep. 4: A Chance Encounter
Inside the crowded café, Mauricio peered around for a vacant table. With any luck, he could get through his emails and the morning news before his check-in meeting with Charlie. When he sat down, he scanned his text messages. A smile curled his lips as he read a text message from Isabel. “Dad, I…

Harmony Project, Ep. 3: Rock and a Hard Place
The gray sky threatened early evening showers, a welcome relief from the unusual heat wave that had rolled in days ago. Sitting in his living room, Mauricio stared at the houses across the street. Their narrow little neighborhood street in the Chiswick area of suburban London still felt claustrophobic to him. He missed the wide…

Harmony Project, Ep. 2: A Morning Meeting
Fear washed over Mauricio as he pushed the button for the third floor. He’d avoided the news headlines this morning, knowing he’d get a full rehash from Charlie anyway. But part of him wondered if it was even worse than last week’s news…it had to be if Charlie was insisting on an early morning meeting.…
