It was only the closest family, basically our household, Gregg’s family, David and Vallari.
The child was named Steve Joblin-Fripp. Not what Gregg’s mother had wished for, as she would like to see him with the Blanco family name, but Gregg did not care at all.

One day a collector came to our house. The eccentric Felipe Marshall who had collected original first issues of mother’s books right back to her very first novel. But he had never been able to find a first issue of “Dream Flesh & Perfumed Skin” as it sold out so fast.
”How much do you expect to pay, if I still have by original print, signed.” ?. “Well if you really will sell you own pre-release copy I would say it is worth say 7000$”, “Holy Kamoley” then I’d better start to look for it.
Mother found it and sold it, the sale made the news and added further to her fame.

Would not be too long before it would be back at work as rescue worker, so thought I’d better start to lose some of the weight I gained from my pregnancy.

Mother wanted to see the new film studio up at Horseshoe Loop, so one day we went up there with Angie.
Interesting Mummy said, waling around in the film sets, very interesting. I look at her saying: Mother…do you have plans to become a film star? She turned and looked at me with a smile: “do you think I have star quality? Seriously mother do you plan to work here? Well mother looked away for a second then turned and said: I Think I am too old for a film star, but I am actually thinking about working here at a lower level, just to get out and get some inspiration for my novels.

Less than a month later her last book in the “Pictures of a City” trilogy hit the bookstores.
The reviews were great: “42 years old Joblin-Fripp outscores herself with her 3rd book in the Pictures of a City trilogy Lost Soul, Lost Trace. This time the personal issues of the main character comes even more into play, especially the extensive abuse of people as well as substances. The crime story as god as before, but the personal stories around it, is what makes this novel outstanding
The 451 pages novel was a massive bestseller outscoring the previous to books in the series.
