Autographed Xena Book Wings My Way!

Image

I got a seriously cool surprise today. I received the Xena book (aka my beloved baby) with messages and autographs from my favourite people - no, not the actors but the family I found in this fandom. My family stretches from the UK, the US and Canada - how the heck did they not lose this book with it being shipped from here to there is a miracle. This baby weighs a hefty bit and I'm super impressed by the whole thing. To say I was emotional would be an understatement. While all of this was going on, it was kept a secret from me.

I did wonder why some of people involved, when I emailed or messaged didn't get into a long discussion with me. I figured it was because of the stresses of the day but nope it was because they were trying NOT to reveal the secret.

I will contact all the contributors to this amazing surprise individually but here are the names that I have found. There are some sneaky ones which I found while flipping through the book. It's a veritable who's who of the Xenaverse! I can't believe I know all these seriously heavy duty talented people...how the hell did I get so lucky?

Mavis Applewater, Brenda Barton, Denise Byrd, Carrie Carr, Jan Carr, Linda Crist, Cheyne Curry, Melissa Good, Ro Graskey, Heather Hartman, KT Jorgensen, Trish Kocialski, Marie Logan, KG Macgregor, Judi Marr, Susan X Meagher, Bren "BL" Miller, Redhawk, Maribel Piloto (Lunacy), Morgan Sams (aka T. Novan), Carol Stephens, Lida Verner, Taylor Rickard, Saul Trabal, Wendy Woody!

This book has been destined to be auctioned and the first dinars for the charities has already been given (how's that for clever).

I've taken a few pictures, they are not the best since I'm trying not to break the spine. For those who will ask, yes I do have a crimson cover for Locutus, my Macbook Pro 16, - crimson is my favourite colour (you may not have guessed that) and it goes so beautifully with the Xena cover, don't you think?

So what do you reckon? Pretty damn good, eh? Battle on!

Holding On by Raine
Set just after the events of Motherhood, Xena and Gabrielle both feel like they are losing each other. It•„¢s a beautiful piece that I found very moving. I loved it. Raine crafts this short story quiet well. The proper ending to Motherhood.

Healer's Kiss (The) by Cath, Bard
The scenes in Ides of March in the cell stories have always made me tear up. It was one of the most difficult scenes I have witnessed on this show. This story takes place there and it shows how a love for a soulmate can be healing. Beautifully written. Highly recommended.

Hold Me By The Fire by T. Novan
This is a short story about the power of holding each other and what it means to both Xena and Gabrielle. Beautifully written and I expected nothing less from this talented bard. Beautiful.
