The Holocaust
- Mind power in Auschwitz - and healing decades later. Mind power in Auschwitz - and healing decades later. Her mother's wisdom helped Edith Eger create a happy inner life in Auschwitz - but true healing meant going back there. Edith Eger was 16 years old, crammed into a cattle truck, human cargo from Hungary headed for Auschwitz, when her mother gave her the advice that shaped her life. For most of the journey, her mother hadn't said much, hadn't cried or complained, but had instead gone inside herself. "That night," says Eger, "she turned to me and said: 'Listen. We don't know where we're going. We don't know what's going to happen. Just remember, no one can take away from you what you've put in your mind."
- I survived the Warsaw ghetto. Here are the lessons I'd like to pass on by Stanisław Aronson. I'm 93, and, as extremism sweeps across Europe, I fear we are doomed to repeat the mistakes which created the Holocaust...
New Movie To Watch Out For...
- I was listening to a radio interview on Sydney radio today with Noni Hazelhurst (I LOVE Noni) and she's talking about her new movie "Ladies in Black" which is set in a department store in 1950's Australia. Sounds like a fabulous movie and something I touch on my fiction series as well especially in my latest "Mabel of the Anzacs". Can't wait to see this! Watch the video!

AUSXIP Charity Auction
Hey guys have a guess what I was doing on the 7th September? It was STARSHIP AUCTION SPREADSHEET TIME! Starship sent over their spreadsheet of payments. We had some issues with the donation form on Starship. It kept crashing. There is a reason the Starship donation form fell over - the Xenaverse crashed another server :) (the donation form was a little iffy lately whether it went through ok or it stalled but we're getting that sorted out BUT apparently, everyone has figured it out) Does this count as a the Xenaverse crashing another server? I'm calling it - we did :)
Good news: $11K of the winning bids have already been donated and we are waiting on the last remained $2K to come in. Saying that Starship is overjoyed by this outcome is an understatement.

New Art: A Special Someone To Grow Old With…
A few days ago I saw this amazing photo of an older couple - a man and his girl
on a bike with the words:
"Growing old isn't so bad when you have someone to grow old with that can hang
on tight during hardest storms of life."
The words
moved me and I mentioned to
my book club group that I would love to see something like that for my
characters of Eva and Zoe. You know what they say about putting it out in the
universe. Well my friend Hayriye Makas Uygun decided to surprise me and create
an Eva and Zoe version!
I LOVED
THIS so much. May you have that special someone to grow old with who hangs on
tight even through the hardest of times.

Happy
Xenaversary everyone!!!
Auction Update:
With the support of the Xenaverse, actors such as Renee O'Connor, Lucy Lawless,
Adrienne Wilkinson and many others, we have raised (tentative total, not
counting any additional donations) $13,293.97 NZD. That brings
our combined total for all auctions held since 2006 to $198,293!
Just an amazing number. Xena's legacy has been to help others and to do it for the Greater Good. On her 23rd Anniversary, the Xenaverse has come together and created something special. Without your support, this auction would not have gotten off the ground in 2006 and continued since then.
I have informed Starship that a whole lot of money is heading their way! THANK YOU everyone who supported, who bid and who won! BLESS YOU ALL!
Thank you also goes to my team who are EXTRAORDINARY. Without them, it would
be impossible to have this auction.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR WARRIOR AND HER BARD! 23 Years ago a show was born and
changed our lives!
I will have more to say about this once the Starship Auction is over....
The 11th AUSXIP Starship Charity Auction is ENDING in a few hours!

My
new novella "Enemy At The Gate" is part of an anthology called "The Darkest
Hour" Tales of WW2 Resistance.
Profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC.
What is my story about?
It's 1941 and the shadow of tyranny has laid claim to Zoe Lambros' Greek homeland. The only way to freedom is to resist. Zoe is a determined thirteen-year-old who wishes to join in the fight to free Greece from occupation, and she gets that chance when she joins the Greek Liberation Army in a clandestine operation that sets in motion an explosive confrontation between the occupying Italians, the Germans and the Greek Resistance. For Zoe, there is no turning back, because what’s left is either freedom or death.
You can pre-order the book from iBooks here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1408712494
Available on Amazon from October 29, 2018.

Brent Makes Way For Bruce...
I was saddened by this news. Brent (Commander Data on Star Trek: TNG) was scheduled for a ongoing role in Season 4 but has to pull out due to a family issues. His replacement is another favourite of mine - Bruce Boxleitner (Captain Sheridan from Babyon 5). Before AUSXIP was born in 1996, I had a John and Delenn shipper page called The John and Delenn Information Page (see I wasn't that inventive when I came up with the Australian Xena Information Page). John and Delenn were INCREDIBLE characters. If you haven't watch Babylon 5 - YOU MUST. It is unbelieable and it also stars Claudia Christian as God...no...heh, inside joke. Claudia stars as Commander Susan Ivanova. SERIOULY cool. The whole cast of Babylon 5 were AMAZING. Fantastic show. Now getting back to Supergirl, here's the article about Brent being replaced...Supergirl Recast: Brent Spiner Replaced with Bruce Boxleitner Due To Family Issues

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.
