At least potentially, the middle names are up for grabs for all of them and it will be interesting to see what they choose. … More Prince George Alexander Louis
Detroit’s having a hard time right now. The reality of a 60 year decline finally hit home. Bankruptcy is never good but I hope Detroit comes out better for it.

I’m happy to say it was absolutely worth it. I LOVED it! The primary roles were played by regular Lindsay Mendez … More Wicked
New York Magazine referred to Hillary, Oprah and Martha as “the holy trinity of single-name American power women” and I have to agree. Not only have they reach the height of power and prestige but they’ve maintained it for decades. Each have had their ups and downs and if you believe the articles below they’re … More The Big Three
I love this kind of stuff. These guys did a great job!
Scrolling through Tumblr under the Rumbelle feed and I see this: Fan art of my fic and it’s listed as a must read. I’m floored!
