It has recently come to my attention that someone from the site, RoyaltyGossip.com, has been re-blogging my silly ass writings to their site for the past several months. Unfortunately, the person who runs the site has an invalid Email address so I cannot contact him/her privately. As a result, I have to say it here. So, whomever owns Royalty Gossip please stop. I would appreciate it.
Many thanks. 🙂
