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

As many of you have heard there are rumors that RJ will write Claire's character (Alti)
back into the upcoming season of Xena. 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!
