Oh Sheffield! I just love your imagination! Your stories are always so fresh, entertaining, heart-breaking and yet make me laugh.

I just finished this and really loved it. Was really thrilled that Blair or should I say Starchild, got revenge on all the kids without getting violent. It was very well written. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
