Two things happened today that would be quite special.
- My box of my new novel “Mabel of the Anzacs” arrived! Lots of love went into this novel from everyone: writer (me), editor, beta readers, proofreaders. It takes a village to create a novel.

Click here to view video: The photographer Derek Cutting from Firemate
Photographic created this video. Derek is a new friend who is a phenomenal
photographer. He also is the owner of the War Bike (aka Zoe’s motorcycle
“Mabel”) I did suggest to Derek that he rename his War Bike to Mabel but
don’t think that will happen! Check out the video, I was chuffed. I
contacted Derek some time ago to get permission & license one of his images
for the cover of my book.

AUSXIP Charity Auction Updates
How many items do we have on the AUSXIP auction? Well as of right now 250 but that will rise over the coming days. Prices start at $5 & up AND if you want to donate and not bid, u can "buy" a donation only pack to be included in the final tally. So far, since 2006 we have raised $185,000. I like round numbers so let's try and get that figure up to $200K and more.
I posted this to AUSXIP Twitter and Facebook. After this message went out I got a message on FB that a generous soul (who I will name if they allow me to) has donated a replica sword to add to the weapons cache we have for the auction!! I love the Xenaverse. I love Xenites. Big hearts.
