The Origins of the Porn Star Brothers Series
The idea for Porn Star (no brothers at that stage) first came to me after breakfast show host Karl Stefanovic’s name was pronounced wrong at our TV show awards, the Logies, in 2014. And with his nickname of Carlos, it seemed like a porn name, so from that the original idea came to light and grew until the idea of a trilogy of brothers emerged in Jan/Feb 2015.
I did some “research” for the books by watching Boogie Nights and Studio 54, and when Jackie Collins died in 2015, I felt the need to get the them written and published as soon as possible, which is why they were released in 2016 across the three weeks of the first anniversary of Jackie’s death, what would have been her birthday two weeks later, and the following fortnight.
After the novella trilogy of Carlos, Pedro and Tomas, plus what started as the conclusion but became the fourth novella of Retribution, were all written across April/May 2016, the idea for a second and third book arose. Why wouldn’t it, with the way my brain works. The second book just HAD to tell the story of their weddings, and babies, and the porn star awards. Right? Whereas the only idea I received from my muse about the third book was a thought bubble appearing above and behind my head with the words ‘AIDS’ and ‘Tomas and Roger’.
That made me cry for three weeks. The thought of killing off my babies cut me to the core, so I put the thought aside and did other things. Come October 2016, the second story came to me with no working title except for “book 2”, but later became known as Forever, and then the third story came with the title of Love Never Dies already in place, during which time I watched movies on AIDS, documentaries on AIDS, news stories on AIDS, I read them, and researched them so I knew what the hell I was talking about, and cried for the three damn weeks it took to write that third novel. I also realised a valuable lesson about my muse. Just because she gives me ideas, I SHOULD NOT take them literally. I spent about five hours crying my eyes out one day trying to come up with a way to not kill my babies off in that book. You’ll have to read them to see how I did it.
It drained me physically, emotionally, and psychologically, and after I finished it I took four days off from writing and did other things, such as writing down a layout for the next novel. I knew it would be about the children, knew there needed to be more of them, and knew they needed names, birth dates and personalities. So out came Stefan: The New Generation. A nod to Jackie Collins’ Hollywood Wives: The New Generation. It’s also my longest book. EVER!
Following that I wrote the short story of Simon, which you get in Stefan as a chapter, and the novel of DeLuca which is about the family from the series who are weaved throughout, including intimately, with the Stephanopouloses. I stopped writing there, probably shouldn’t have, but didn’t write in the series for another two years to the month. January 2019 I wrote an extra 67 pages for DeLuca, and released it two months later. I then went on to write Spiros & Jenny in the months following, and finally, in 2020, I finished the series off with the final novel.
And Always, as in Forever And Always, is bringing the story back around to the second novel of Forever and you find out how the remaining Stephanopoulos children find their forever, just as their parents and grandparents had decades before. It’s a nice little rounding out of the series which was, at one point, going to include short stories based on characters from each book. But who knows, maybe that will still happen one day, or who knows, maybe the series is actually done.
Either way, that is the origin of the Porn Star Brothers series, I hope you enjoy.
SERIES DEDICATIONS
In 2014 a vague idea to write a book about a porn star came to me. In 2015 the idea brewed and grew and when my idol, Jackie Collins, passed away, the idea flourished with a vengeance. I knew I wanted to get three stories about three young Australian men getting into the world of porn in the ’70s, written, edited, and released on the first anniversaries of Miss Jackie’s death and birthday.
Jackie Collins is the biggest inspiration in my life when it comes to writing, if not the only inspiration. She had the passion, the brains, the ballsy rollicking attitude, and the kind of life that made me want to be her.
Without her, these books would not exist, for I would not have had the inspiration to follow in the same ‘write whatever you want’ league.
Without her, I will continue trying to write the kind of books she wrote. Real, ballsy, and bonkbustingly good.
Jackie, the Porn Star Brothers book series is dedicated to you as so many of my other books are. I thank you for the inspiration you have given me and hope you continue giving me, to go on and write more. I hope that you are well and having a good laugh wherever you are. I miss you and will continue doing so. Sometimes I think I feel you egging me on with my writing. Maybe that’s true, and maybe it’s just my rampant imagination; the same imagination that has given me the books I have written so far in my life. And sometimes, I really wished I could be you. You will forever be my idol and inspiration and I thank you.
RIP, Miss Jackie C.
And to the three Stefanovic brothers, Carlos, Pedro, and Tomas, without whom I would not have had names for my porn stars.
FUN FACTS ABOUT THE PORN STAR BROTHERS SERIES
– The idea for Porn Star (no brothers at this stage) started after breakfast show host Karl Stefanovic’s name was pronounced wrong at our TV show awards, the Logies, in 2014. And with his nickname of Carlos, it seemed like a porn name, so from that the original idea came to light and grew until the full idea for the series emerged in Jan/Feb 2015.
– In 2015, I did some “research” for the series by watching Boogie Nights and Studio 54. Dirk Diggler’s got nuthin’ on the Porn Star Brothers!
– When Jackie Collins died in 2015, I felt the need to get the books written and out as soon as possible, which is why they were released across the three weeks of the first anniversary of Jackie’s death, what would have been her birthday two weeks later, and the following fortnight. Jackie is my author mentor and idol.
– All Porn Star books and short stories are dedicated to Jackie Collins and the Stefanovic brothers.
– The first four Porn Stars (Carlos, Pedro, Tomas, and Retribution) weren’t written until April/May of 2016. The plan was to write them in Dec 2015 / Jan 2016, but my mother became seriously ill and production of the books, as well as everything else, was pushed back further and further. The first three, Carlos, Pedro and Tomas were released across Sep/Oct 2016. Retribution was expanded and released in March 2017.
– The original story for Tomas was going to have him as straight as Carlos and screwing women. But when the time came to write the story, the twist had already been made to make him gay and screwing all the men. The story changed again when it was being written and he found love with one man, Roger Dencott, instead.
– Tomas doesn’t know for sure if he’s even gay. He was asexual for 22 years and had never experienced feelings for either sex until his first sexual encounter which just happened to be with a man. Since he’s never been with a woman in any way, he actually has no idea if that’s something he’d like or want to get into. He just believed Roger was it because of the way he got the tingles and he went with it, regardless of the fact he should have dated a lot and experienced other possibilities and people before finally making up his mind. So, he actually doesn’t know if he’s straight out gay, potentially bi, or heterosexual and would prefer to be with a woman if he had sex with one.
– Carlos took 4 days to write, Pedro 7 days, Tomas 10 days, and all three were 120 handwritten pages. Retribution took 2 hours and started at 23 handwritten pages. It expanded to 62 pages in the word doc after editing. Also, all four books have been bundled together to form one book called Porn Star Brothers. An omnibus collector’s edition, it features a different cover for the e-book and a completely new one for the paperback novel version.
– The covers for all four first books came from the same photographer on Shutterstock. It wasn’t until nearly a year later when looking for more pictures, that I found out the guy in the pics I used for Carlos and Retribution was also the photographer of all four pics. He’s Italian, he’s gorgeous, and he’s so damn dreamy!
– An Easter egg or two was planted in these books concerning the number plates of the cars which the boys were kidnapped in. PMS 333 (initials for Pedro Matthew Stephanopoulos), and TGS 333 (initials for Tomas Giorgio Stephanopoulos). The plane flight that Pedro and Angie took was flight 333 from Athens to New York. The 333 stands for the three brothers.
– Forever, the second book in the series, was 389 pages written across 20 days in October 2016. I originally wanted two rings on a satin cushion surrounded by glitter and red hearts. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything like it and settled on the two rings surrounded by glitter.
– This is not the first time “forever” has been mentioned in the books. In Pedro and Retribution, both Pedro and Angie know each other is their “forever”.
– Love Never Dies, the third book in the series, was 303.5 pages written across 17 days in November 2016. It was emotionally exhausting to write and finish due to the serious nature of the storyline. There was lots of blubbering over that book and the storyline changed after chapter 13.
– L.N.D.’s cover was originally supposed to have two half-naked men cavorting in each other’s arms, looking all hot and sweaty. Not being able to find such a pic to my liking, I found another one, the sunset was perfect, the silhouettes in it, not so much. Finding another picture of two guys that matched the sunset picture perfectly, I had one superimposed over the other and that’s the cover of L.N.D.
– The name for SB3, the family’s nightclub, stands for Stefan/Stephanopoulos Brothers 3.
– There was going to be a novella between Love Never Dies and Stefan but exhaustion took too much out of me and I took a break after Stefan and DeLuca. It may come at a later date as a book of short stories.
– Stefan, the fourth book in the series, was a whopping 782 handwritten pages across 39 days in Dec 2016 and Jan 2017 and I didn’t even want to write it. I was so exhausted after L.N.D. that just staring at that first empty notebook page made me tired. After spending the weekend getting characters and plot lines written down, I picked up my pen and out it came.
– Stefan turned out completely different to the original idea thanks to L.N.D. getting an ending change. During the writing of L.N.D., two particular characters were supposed to be reincarnated in Stefan. But with the ideas for Stefan growing darker each day, and the end being quite repulsive, I decided that since I couldn’t kill off the two characters in L.N.D. they wouldn’t be reincarnated into Stefan, and so Stefan had to have its storyline changed.
– Stefan ended up being far longer than anticipated because I gave my muse her head and let her run. I finally had to rein her in towards the end, otherwise, I could have potentially written 1000 pages plus.
– Stefan was followed by the short story of Simon which took 2 days and 31 pages, and the novella DeLuca, 125 pages across 11 days.
– DeLuca, the fifth book in the series, is based on the DeLuca family and is a continuance to Stefan and the Stephanopoulos saga. It initially took 125 pages across 11 days in 2017, but when getting ready to release it, I realised it needed to be longer if was going to be a decent sized 6×9. So, I typed an extra 15,000 words, and then realised I was stuck. Doing what I does best, I picked up a notebook and pen and hand wrote another 67 plus pages in 2019, two years on to the month. I was surprised how naturally the extension of the novel came, and didn’t realise it was a two-year gap in my writing it until after I looked at my book notes. It was like I’d never left the story, and I slipped right back in.
– This book also made me blubber like a baby as I regret killing off a certain character in the whole Porn Star Brothers storyline. But then, I wouldn’t have the storyline I had for Stefan. Stories always make sense when they’re finished.
– During DeLuca, there are many mentions of “forever”. This is a throwback to the novel, Forever, as everyone should, but don’t, always get their own forever.
– There is an Easter egg or two, or more, in DeLuca, one being that Cynthia’s bank vault number, 1319, is code for their initials.
– Spiros & Jenny is the sixth book and a prequel to the whole series, taking you back to the beginning of the Stephanopoulos dynasty. It’s about Spiros meeting Jenny straight off the boat and falling in love with her, their life together in Australia, and then travelling home to Mykonos to live. I only wrote the book in May and June of 2019, just months before publishing.
– Spiros & Jenny are affectionately known as Spenny, their celebrity couple name. It was an idea I had been sitting on the whole series and what I called them as a joke, but in Spiros & Jenny it finally gets a mention, as does Carvian (Carlos & Vivian), Pangelina or Pangie (Pedro & Angie) and Tomoger (Tomas & Roger). It’s mentioned that the grandkids came up with the names years previous for fun.
– There are some mentions of “forever” in Spiros & Jenny as well, a throwback to the novel Forever, which has become a theme through the series.
– And Always is the last book in the Porn Star Brothers series. It brings the story full circle from Forever (as in Forever And Always). From the love stories of Carlos, Pedro and Tomas, to those of the next generation, Alena, Antonio, Dominic, Alexis and Danté.
– The first four stories start by coinciding with the timeline of DeLuca between 2008 and 2012. There was a mention of Luca Saint and Maria Van Star at the very end of the book at Cabot and Tony’s wedding. These stories show how Alena and Antonio meet them and fall in love.
– The stories continue with Dominic and Alexis through to 2018 when Spiros & Jenny happens, and from there, it jumps ahead to 2033 for the story of Danté, and brings the entire family saga to an end.
– There are mentions of “forever” in this book, obviously, in order to bring the story to an end.
– You find out what happens to multiple members of the family in this book, since the timeline jumps ahead, and what everyone has been up to during that jump. Prepare yourself with tissues.
– You also meet the newest members of the family, the next generation of Stephanopouloses.
– In story order to read – Carlos, Pedro, Tomas, Retribution (or the boxed set, or novel version of Porn Star Brothers), Forever, Love Never Dies, Stefan, DeLuca, Spiros & Jenny, And Always.

She manages to reunite Roger with his mother for a short time, and Tomas dies for a full five minutes in July before being resuscitated. Thanksgiving meant more than anything that year, as did Christmas and New Year.
– A germ of an idea about a family business takes seed in Jenny’s mind and she discusses it with Carlos who puts his business and film courses to good use. They start the beginnings of Stephanopoulos Incorporated, affectionately known as S.Inc, for the family and all future generations, and is run by Jenny (CEO and major shareholder) and Carlos (president and minor shareholder with his brothers). Villiers Inc. is brought in under the banner and Carlos becomes the director and producer of Viv’s videos. It’s not his first time behind the camera but he knows it’s what he wants for a career. He also thinks he should get his own studio, and so more ideas form and are put into motion.

1982
– The family’s first wholly built business, SB3 (Stephanopoulos/Stefan Brothers 3), is a function room by day and a nightclub by night. It opens for business under S.Inc.
– S’Reel, Carlos’s movie production company, is set up as an office in a compound on the hill outside the township of Mykonos with a stunning 360 view of the ocean. It will provide the privacy celebrities need while on the island when they’re working. There’s a luxurious home for them to stay in, and a building that would be perfect for a gym.
– Sync, Pedro’s music publishing company, is also set up as an office in the compound and Angie goes to work helping to write music. Musicians flock to Mykonos to work with Pedro after seeing him DJ at Studio 69 and then SB3, and have their music played in the club. It’s where many get their first big break as Jenny sets up a talent show every Sunday. The entire compound is under the S.Inc banner.
– Cabot Conroy Stephanopoulos and Antonio DeLuca Stephanopoulos are born, named for Viv and Carlos’s dear friends.
– Carlos and Viv move into the house to the right of Jenny’s (when looking out at the ocean), Pedro and Angie move into the house on their left. Both had been redecorated for the growing families in their own taste and Viv and Angie got the huge walk in closets they desperately wanted. The girls’ toys were finally unpacked and set up, and the room for the boys was decorated in blue.
– Tomas and Roger celebrate the first anniversary of their new life by seeing the opening of SB3 and their nephews come into the world on the same night. They make love for the first time in over a year due to weakness and wanting to be physically stable before doing so. Jenny bought them a new bed for a new life and freshened up their room. Both of them started painting sea and landscapes as a part of their therapy while recovering from the fatal experience they went through. They have a magnificent view of the ocean from Jenny’s terrace and use it to its full advantage.
– The family also watches AIDS unfold with constant updates from Doctor Dan Ardent who is back in New York on the front line with his new boyfriend Doctor Derek Blaine. Jenny provides the money and sets up a trust fund to provide continuous financial support for The NYC HIV/AIDS Research and Support Clinic in New York for them to study the disease, provide testing, potential medications, and support those with HIV/AIDS in as many ways as possible. It’s under the S.Inc banner and Dan and Derek are forever grateful for the backing, putting the money to very good use.
– Jenny and Viv both get book deals with a major New York publishing house. Viv, because of her fame, is writing about being a model changing careers, and Jenny, because she has sons suffering from what was an unnamed disease killing gay men. They also manage to get Dan a book deal.
– Mike and Maggie holiday in Mykonos and like it so much they plan to move there with help from Jenny.

When told she is now a big sister and has a little brother she put her hands on her hips, and in true A-ena style demanded to know who the intruder was, very much like her uncle Carlos when uncle Tomas was born. She said, “Brover? What’s a brover? I didn’t ask for a brover. A-ena is only child and wikes being centre of attention. She doesn’t want a brover. Take it away.” She then proceeded to ignore Dominic for nearly two years.
– Carlos and Jenny fly to Athens to look for space to build Stefan Productions. They want a huge movie studio lot and the land is bought, the studios and offices built, and it’s all opened within the year to much fanfare. And Carlos is quickly in high demand.
– After spending the years between ’81 and ’82 getting to the point he could stand and walk on his own, Tomas continued to take things easy, seeing his therapists weekly to regain his strength and working out in a gym. He and Roger stay in his old room because he’s not yet prepared to be on his own away from family, fearing it would happen all over again, and because he loves being pampered by his mama. Tomas didn’t think he’d ever see any of them reach 30, so he celebrated Carlos’s birthday with vigour.
– Jenny purchases The Windmill Hotel and renovates, updates, and gives it a makeover. It’s put under the S.Inc banner.

Both also become qualified dietitians and nutritionists so they can offer a fully balanced lifestyle change for their clients. They’re still painting, and after clogging up everyone’s walls they start stocking the walls of the family hotel, and occasionally sell any extras from the hotel’s gift shop.

It’s just one of the five houses she’d bought around her own house for her family.

2008
– Diana and Alena are in charge of their trust funds now they’ve turned 30 which Tomas never thought he’d see. Alena moves out of the home she shared with Diana and moves back into her parent’s house until she can get her own.
– Diana has baby Adam and she and Charles settle into their own home, the one she used to share with Alena. Diana takes the year off work to look after her son and looks at working full time at H.O.S.
– Jenny sets up a trust fund for Adam.
– Charles signed a prenup and cannot take one cent from Diana’s fund, so he goes to work for the family as a photographer, covering the family, S’Reel, Sync, In Shape, SB3, and anything else the family is involved in. He gets to earn a wage and be with his family in a beautiful place. He also starts writing a book about his ordeal which is later published by Prologue Press.
– Diana and Alena set up Styled by Stefan, a sister business to Styled by Vivian which they know will close one day. They start releasing fashion and style books through the family’s publishing house. Alexis, Cabot and Antonio do the same, while Dom and Dante release music books.
– Dominic can now use his trust fund for business but has no idea whether he wants to. He already writes and makes music at Sync, and DJs at SB3. What more could he want?
– Dante decides to have surgery on his leg after being unable to do what he used to. Tendons and muscles need fixing and after extensive physio he’s as good as new.
– Roger celebrated 60 in style and Jenny turned 80, with Tomas telling his parents again that he and Roger will look after them in their old age.
– Jenny buys more homes for her growing family. Dominic moves in with Antonio, and since Antonio’s not home much, he has the place to himself. Alena gets her own home, as does Simon and his family, as well as local jobs found for them by Jenny. Alexis becomes serious with Lorenzo who Jenny keeps a close eye on. Jenny also buys Dan and Derek their home as a thank you for all their help.
– The Mykonos Assault and HIV/AIDS Support Centre does well and Cabot decides to follow in Tomas and Roger’s footsteps and helps out at The Bette Olander Aids Care Home in Miami, becoming a HIV/AIDS advocate with Tony while still modelling with Antonio to create more public interest and keep making money to donate to the centres. He and Tony also become qualified nutritionists and dietitians like his uncles, so they can keep their health in check.
– Tony finally gets Cabot, Antonio, Viv and Carlos to the DeLuca family home in Spain. They find his family’s graves and set about cleaning the place up. Tony tells Cabot he’s serious about him and wants them to be a permanent couple, so he proposes. Cabot freaks out and wants to wait a few years to mature and settle into life as a couple. They move in together after their trip to Spain and England.
– Angie gets to know her half-brother Alfonso, 36, and ponders finding other siblings.
– With much cajoling from Jenny, Tomas agrees to start writing and designing cookbooks, but only if she co-authors. Forty books are released across the next twenty years through Prologue Press to much fanfare, and all become best sellers. He and Roger also do workout videos and a web series, hitting it big with their YouTube channel. They are especially a hit with gay men. Cabot and Tony join in the web series to bring in the younger market.
– All follow in Jenny’s footsteps and release a joint effort book about HIV/AIDS and being gay in the new century, with help from Dan & Derek who write a sister book to it detailing the history of the disease and preventative measures to take. They both become huge bestsellers for Prologue Press.
– Jenny continues writing that book she mentioned last year. It’s about the Stephanopoulos family and all its secrets. Spiros isn’t sure about revealing all, but considering how famous the family is, there’s quite a lot of interest, especially after the Flair article on the whole family. Jenny releases it late in the year. Not that it’s her first foray into writing, she had written novels for many years using her family’s exploits as inspiration, and upon having one of them edited was encouraged to release it. It started her next journey as a romance novelist much to her family’s horror.

BOOK – AND ALWAYS -/- 2012
– Cabot and Antonio are now in charge of their trust funds. Cabot and Tony use their funds to benefit the assault centre on Mykonos, and the three AIDS care homes in Miami. Their HIV status is under control and they celebrate life by getting married the same way Tomas and Roger did in 1977 since gay marriage is still not legal in Greece or England. They do it at the DeLuca estate which Tony keeps for the whole family for the month of May, so Jenny and Spiros get to celebrate her birthday and their wedding anniversary in Spain and have an extended holiday.
– Antonio, after dating several girls and women, finds the woman of his dreams after deciding to put his modelling days behind him at the ripe old age of 30. He meets Maria Van Star, a 33 year old fiery French Italian model. They fall hard for each other and get married after three months. They decide to have their wedding separate from Cabot and Tony’s, marrying the day after, just as their father and uncles had done, and also on the DeLuca estate. Maria agrees to live in Mykonos as long as they regularly travelled to Rome, Paris and London. She looked into working with Vivian, but decided to keep modelling for a few more years.
– Antonio and Maria are involved in a car crash on their honeymoon, escaping with minor injuries. They were lucky, as things could have been far more serious.
– Alexis and Lorenzo break up after five years before the twins’ weddings.
– Alena is caught up in a plane crash while on tour but survives with minor injuries. Like the Stephanopoulos she is, she finishes the tour and scores worldwide publicity for it.

– Tomas reaches 60, something he figured he’d never see, and Spiros hits the big 9-0. Tomas and Roger help Spiros around the house and continue to do so from now on, soon becoming carers to his parents.
– Carlos and Viv become grandparents once more with Antonio and Maria’s daughter Izabella being born.
– Diana takes over Villiers Style from her mother, who retires, and Styled by Vivian is closed and merged into the business. It had a fabulous 30 year run.
– Diana and her family, whilst on a winter holiday, barely survives outrunning an avalanche. Their hotel was completely wiped out by it.
– Cabot and Tony look into surrogacy. The thought of losing a HIV infected child is too much and they both want a child of their own. But they may have to consider never having children due to their status. They find a program that helps HIV positive men become fathers and thoroughly look into it.
– Luca turns 40 and strikes it big with a huge music deal. His and Alena’s songs will be in a massive book turned movie deal and they party by getting pregnant and having their second child.
– Giancarlo Gardo passes away at 91, leaving Sheila, 85, and James, 36, heartbroken. He was proud as punch of James making Detective and taught him his own detective skills every day. James spoke at his father’s funeral, attended by NYPD department heads and fellow officers.
– Jenny takes note of Giancarlo’s passing in the New York papers she has delivered and placed the articles in a scrapbook for future generations. He was part of the Stephanopoulos story and deserved his place alongside Detectives Star, Drew, and Barden, Officers Burns and Devron, and Agent Payday of the FBI. Even her boys’ ex-bosses, the DeVilles, the Seralifts, and Greta Von Burro rated a mention in the family history, as did all of the friends and co-workers they’d lost during the last thirty-eight years.

– Simon turns 40 and Roger gets another year with his son.
– Cabot and Tony welcome Antonio DeLuca III into the family via surrogacy. Biologically the baby is Tony’s, the next one will be Cabot’s, and they use the same donor for both eggs so the children are biologically related. They have it legalised by making sure they are both on the baby’s certificate and legally have custody, regardless of what happens to either of them.
– Dominic meets Davina Smythe while Djing in England. The 30 year old TV presenter is Australian Greek like him and longs for her two homelands. She’s heard all about the Stephanopoulos family and wants in on S’Reel and Sync, hoping to continue her TV presenting from there.

BOOK – SPIROS & JENNY – NOVEMBER 2018 (1950-1969)
– Tomas and Roger can now legally marry in Australia as Australian citizens. Tomas starts the legal adoption of Simon so he can be recognised as family.
– Alexis, 30, is now in charge of her trust fund. She marries Marcus, wearing her mother’s wedding dress, and he signs a prenup. She has their first child and all are happy.

– Cabot and Tony have their second child via surrogate, a daughter they name after Jenny and Vivian.
– Jenny is 90. She starts a detailed instructive course with her grandchildren about taking over the company and running it the way she and their fathers have done. They are now all old enough to run the business and she shows them the plan she has for maintaining it. It’s easy enough for all of them to follow so they never have to split their votes. She hands the reigns of Stephanopoulos Incorporated as well as the Stephanopoulos fortune to Carlos, Tomas, and Pedro, to be shared by thirds and to be handed down to their children and theirs on down the line. She is in charge in name and signature only until her death. She makes decisions about her jewellery and personal belongings that she wants to go to the girls, and sets things aside for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, leaving a very detailed list of what she and Spiros have, who she wants it to go to, and what she wants done with it.
