30 June

I'm going to take a moment to announce something that isn't Xena related.
This is a shameless self promotional plug <g>

My first novel - Out of Darkness (the combined works of In the Blood of the Greeks and Land of Milk and Honey) will be published by Renaissance Alliance Publishing in the spring of 2001. To say I'm excited is an understatement. <g>

Out of Darkness is set against the backdrop of World War II, the book begins in a most troublesome period of human history, where subjugated by the might of Nazi Germany, two women meet under extraordinary circumstances. This is the story of Eva Muller, the daughter of a German major in command of the occupying force in Larissa, Greece in 1944. Through the intervention of the village priest she meets Zoe Lambros, a young Greek woman with vengeance in her heart and a faith in God that's been shattered by the death of her family. They develop a friendship borne out of this dark time, and they help each other to learn to live and love again.

I'll be adding the ordering info when it becomes available.

You can catch up with all the news and the sequel to this book by going to my own fiction page at http://mdfiction.excelland.com/index.html.

Okay back to your regular programming :-)

  • Tom's Xena Site at http://www.xenafan.com has been hacked into and totally destroyed. I was sickened to learn about this. Why some people can vandalise a site just because they can is beyond me. Tom worked so hard on that site and had over 3 gig of information, graphics and sound files. Tom will bring the site back up from his backups but it will take a week or so.
  • Dark Horse put out a book Xena: Warrior Princess-The Warrior Way Of Death which collects issues one through three of the Dark Horse comic-book series Xena: Warrior Princess and the Dark Horse Presents Annual ' 99 story "The Worm" (special bonus feature). 9.95 U.S.

Well since we all love Claire, I'd like to try and make this more solid. Fans are very important to the show and have some power in what happens. I'm asking you to help me and especially help Claire. Lets bring Alti back!! Please write a supportive letter asking him to bring Alti back. If you do send a letter, please e-mail me a copy of it along with your name and e-mail addy. I will make a special page for those who give support. Spread the word! As Claire says...you guys rock!
