The
Bard's Corner
Bard's In Print
I would like to introduce a new bard to Bard's In
Print - her name is Lindy Cameron and I've been
engrossed a couple of books that I was quite pleased to
get to review. Lindy is an Australian author that I
think people will enjoy reading her stories.
Blood Guilt (Kit O'Malley Mystery Series)
by Lindy Cameron
 Celia Robinson is paying PI Kit O'Malley big money to find out what
Celia's philandering husband Geoffrey is up to with a blonde, a redhead,
and entrepreneur Ian Dalkeith and his shady business cohorts. Enduring
a heat wave and fighting the inanimate objects that are out to get her
are the hardest parts of Kit's assignment-until a body is found floating
in the Robinsons' ornamental fish pond.
After the discovery of another body and a near miss with a homicidal
driver, Kit realizes she's getting close to something-even if the truth
seems to be that everyone has a secret.

Ask Rob a Question on Talking Xena...
- Rob Tapert has graciously agreed to answer some
questions from our members so if you've got
something you want to ask just post it in this
thread. After a week or so we'll gather all the
questions together and send them off to Rob, we'll
give him the choice to answer the ones he wants to
and then he'll send them back. It's not really
limited to 20 questions (could be more or less) I
just thought that was a clever title.
Questions don't have be about Xena but they do have
to be respectful and not too personal. Let's try and
be creative and not ask the same old questions he's
been asked a million times before. The TX
Staff will have the option to delete any questions
we feel cross the line.

Where
Shadows Linger - Sequel to In the Blood of the
Greeks!
Book #2 in the Eva and Zoe Series
By MaryD
Boy, this has
been a difficult and long drawn out birth but
Where Shadows Linger will be available in a few
weeks - it's gone to the printers! I'm very
excited and proud of this novel. It picks up a
year after Eva and Zoe emigrate to Australia. It
wasn't just the refugees that had a tough time
in this novel; the author got a good workout as
well through various Herculean trials and
tribulations - this truly has been a blood,
sweat and tears job but it's been worth it. I
hope you all enjoy it as well. As I mentioned
yesterday if you are going to the Burbank con,
you can pick up a copy at the Bard's Banquet.
And if you don't have the first novel "In the
Blood of the Greeks", that will be there as
well. Cover art is by Calli and artwork of Eva
and Zoe was drawn by Lucia Nobrega.
The mini synopsis:
Having
survived Nazi-occupied Greece and the
liberation, Eva Muller and Zoe Lambros are still
very much in love, wanting nothing more than to
fulfill their dreams and hopes for the future.
Emigrating to Sydney, Australia, the two women
find themselves making new friends and forging a
new life together. However, it is not long
before their happiness is marred by prejudice,
and the machinations of old enemies that plunge
them into mortal danger. Will their unique
connection be destroyed? Will they lose their
new-found friends? Or will Eva and Zoe's love
prove strong enough to overcome the shadows of
the past that continue to linger in their lives?
Justice
League Animated Movie Update
-
TVShowsOnDVD site update: Justice League
- New Release Date For New Frontier,
Including New Hi-Def Format Discs! - After a
successful release by Warner Home Video of
the recent Superman: Doomsday DVD, the
studio and sister company DC Comics are
moving forward with their next release (as
if there was any doubt). Justice League: The
New Frontier is another adaption of a
popular comic book storyline that is
literally a direct-to-video release, but
realistically is meant to built upon the
existing fan base of both the comics, and
the recent animated television series. Word
around the web has kicked around a January
release timeframe for this disc, but we've
got VERY reliable word recently from
multiple retailers that the street date for
Justice League: The New Frontier is now
finalized at February 26th, for releases not
only on standard DVD, but also on Blu-ray
Disc hi-def and HD DVD hi-def. All are
single-discs, and the price on the DVD will
be $19.98 SRP (same as Doomsday). The hi-def
disc prices have not been finalized yet,
apparently, and neither has any of the cover
art.

hasn't been sold will be put up, so if you want it, bid
on it. And we are saving some of the best for last.
Thanks again for all the support.
Attention Xenites! If you have received a second

Hot New Shows...I have to recommend one hot new
show from the US and it's this one:
Women's Murder Club - it's based on James
Patterson's books (love him - one of my favourite
authors) and it stars Angie Harmon, Paula Newsome, Laura
Harris (I'm a fan of all three women) and Aubrey Dollar
(don't know much about her). This is one of heck of a
good show. It's on the ABC. Of all the new shows this
one has really caught my attention. Also if you are in
the mood for sassy, I recommend Saving Grace and the
really oddball show Pushing Daisies.
Upcoming Renee Event
The following is from
AfterEllen.com
- At this year's November 11th Power Premiere, the
annual silent auction and dinner for lesbian
filmmaking non-profit organization
POWER UP (see our
write-up of last year's event
here),
AfterEllen.com will be presenting a tribute to
groundbreaking moments in lesbian television, and
honoring some of the actresses involved in them,
including Jane Sibbett (Friends),
Renee O'Connor (Xena), Amber Benson
(Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Thea Gill and Michelle
Clunie (Queer as Folk), Jenny Shimizu (Dante's
Cove), and Michelle Paradise (Exes & Ohs). Yes, it
really is like a
lesbian TV/movie mashup
come to life! The good news is that the event is
open to anyone who is willing to pay the ticket
price; the bad news is that it's held in L.A., where
most of you don't live — but that's why cars,
planes, trains and unicycles were invented!

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Ife caught a promo for an upcoming episode of Curb
Your Enthusiasm which can only mean one thing...Lucy's
episode is next!
-
Sunday's (10/20) "Curb Your Enthusiasm" preview for
next week, it showed Larry pointing to a photo on a
wall of Xena, saying something like "She's pretty
sexy." The picture then falls to the floor and the
glass breaks, much to the horror of others in the
room. I'm hoping that confirms Lucy'll be on next
week. I can't recall whether they usually mention
any guest stars coming up, as there are so many.
The show is hilarious. I can't wait to see what
Lucy does, given all the improvisation.
I watched the preview again, and it
looks like the scene I described is in a casting
agent's office, as there are photos of lots of stars
-- but as themselves. The Xena promo pic seems to
be the only one of somebody in costume. That should
be great as a contrast for the "new" Lucy.

Chicago Xena Convention Reports by KT
Concert & Convention Videos/Images
Sharon has posted two pics of Lucy and Renee in the
green room cleaning Lucy's backside from the exploding
powder. Lucy told this story of how her powder in the
car exploded and got on her new chaps and jeans. She
kept leaving little reminders of where she sat
everywhere she went in the green room (hate to see what
her car was like). Renee being the great friend that she
is, cleaned Lucy from the mess. Chris, the photographer,
managed to get a couple of shots on his camera of this
funny moment - it truly is a Kodak moment! This is just
too damn funny - the look on Lucy's face in the second
pic will just make you laugh.
Also on the site are a couple of new videos:
- Lucy, Renee and Joe are singing "We Can Work It
Out" with Joe on guitar. I have to say Renee, who
isn't a singer, did an awesome job with that and
Lucy, being Lucy, was goofy and just so much fun!

Lucy Chicago Concert Update
Articles
Videos: Lucy on TMZ TV
 Lucy
was featured on the TV version of TMZ last night but
this time with commentary from one of the paparazzi and
it wasn't snarky but respectful. One thing to watch in
this video is the guy who actually trod on Lucy's dress
didn't bother to apologise, all the rest did but not
this guy. He was fixated on getting his autograph. I
howled at Lucy's response to one of them calling her
"the best".

2008 Xena Convention Update
If you are going to the 2008 Burbank Con, here's
something you may be interested in attending while at
the con venue. I'm forwarding this on for Brenda who is
organising this event:
My name is Brenda Barton and after many, many
years, I'm organizing another yet bards event.
This time around it's the Bards' Banquet and it will
take place on the closing evening of the 2008 Xena
Convention in Burbank CA. The bards that have been
around since at least 1999 may remember the Bards
Brunches that took place during the Pasadena
conventions in 2000 and 2001...

Xena & Gabe...A Wedge-Tailed Eagle Love Story...
 Back
in August 2000 there was an article in the paper about

was on the loose. Here's a follow up to that
story...Xena has found a mate, Gabe, and is now living
happily in Townsville. Gabe was thought to be a male but

papparazi hounding her for autographs...
The onetime "Xena: Warrior Princess" star showed she
still has a tough side last night, as she frantically
zipped through a crowd of paparazzi.
Lucy Lawless arrived at Avalon and was in a mighty hurry
to get inside -- barely stopping to sign autographs, but
promising she'd do more on her way out.

index 33-35 seconds; apparently there's an explosion
or battle on a Cylon Basestar and as an explosion
rocks the ship we see Number Three dodging. Not
much to look at, but at least its something new.

Chicago Tribune 7 October 2007 - Lawless sings
Chicago blues. Should we just call her "Xena:
Blues Singer"? For those of you who did a double
take when you saw that Lucy Lawless—best known for
her role as "Xena: Warrior Princess" — was
headlining this weekend at Buddy Guy's Legends, she
insists that she is the real deal...

Report!
- KT has sent in her report of the concert
So once again the lovely, lyrical, luscious Lucy
Lawless put on an exhilarating concert. There were
many new songs but also a few of the ones she’s sung
for us before. She had two horn players, a keyboard
player, a drummer and Joe LoDuca on the guitar.
There were four back-up singers, three women and one
man. And one of the women was Daisy. When Lucy
introduced her band and singers, she pointed towards
Daisy and said her name was something like “Chewy
Vue”. Daisy gave a yell of delight back...

Followup from Jackie - Gay Chicago Magazines...
My friend, David,
who went to the Gay Chicago offices to pick up the
magazines, struck up a conversation with the
reporter who interviewed Lucy. The reporter told
David that he has done 100's of these interviews and
that speaking to Lucy was such a pleasure. He said
she is down to earth, very friendly, cares deeply
about her fans and is unpretentious and one of the
easiest people to talk too. That's our Lucy!
With this
particular magazine all interviews are taped, so the
editor suggested to the writer that he make copies
available via ebay with the profits going to
charity. So we might have the opportunity to have a
copy of the interview.

Gay Chicago Magazine Issue #39 September
27-October 7, 2007 Interview with Lucy. Lucy
Lawless is best known for her role on TV's Xena:
Warrior Princess. Lawless didn't achieve the fame in
her native New Zealand that flooded her in the
states until much later in her career, since the
popular series didn't air there until long after it
was an American television staple. But the reason we
are talking to Ms. Lawless is that she is coming to
town to sing at Buddy Guy's Legends club on October
5-6....

suspect my neighbours are none too thrilled with it
after hearing it all weekend. You can't play this song
softly..a waste of a beautiful song and the stupendous
