31 December

On the eve of a new year, I want to wish everyone a happy new year.

For those who are worried about Australian friends or family - the fires around Sydney and NSW are contained but high winds and hot temps are going to make life very difficult for firefighters. The Sydney Morning Herald has a map of the areas affected
http://www.smh.com.au/news/0112/31/national/graphic1.html

This is what Sydney looks like - very very hazy and difficult to breathe. The top picture is from Anzac Bridge.

Many thanks to all those who inquired about my safety with the New South Wales and Sydney bushfires. I'm fine - I'm not in the areas affected but Sydney has been blanketed with smoke from the fires which are reminiscent of the 1994 disaster which devastated NSW and parts of Sydney. My prayers go out to those affected by the fires which authorities believe were lit by arsonists. For more information about the fires go to: http://www.smh.com.au/

  • The following is from Petra de Jong in the Netherlands:
    Discovery Animal Planet will air a show called Hidden Europe on December 26 and 29 (this is the Dutch schedule but I think it's the same as at least the UK version of the channel).
    The show takes a look at the work of the seal center Pieterburen in Holland and follows the release of Iolaus, a seal the Dutch Hercules and Xena fan club has adopted. During it all they took some time to interview my sister and a friend of mine (who were there for the event) and they talked about the other seals we adopted (Hercules, Xena, Gabrielle and Joxer) and all the good things the fans have done for charities all over the world. Don't know how much of that is still in the piece though.

madampres_th.jpg (3599 bytes)Madam President is now available from The Open Book. The novel is available for order at the Open Book Ltd. Buy this book from The Open Book!
MADAM PRESIDENT - Blayne Cooper (Advocate) and T. Novan (Renaissance Alliance Publishing, 2001, 423 p., $19.99, ISBN 1930928696). It's the year 2020 and history has been made by Devlyn Marlowe --- the first woman to win the U.S. Presidency.  When it comes time to select a biographer to chronicle her historic term in office, Devlyn breaks with tradition and chooses a writer based on very personal reasons.  She wants Lauren Strayer, a young author whose writing has always captivated her.  There's only one problem --- Lauren isn't interested in the job. Despite Lauren's reservations, the persuasive Commander-in-Chief is able to sway the author's opinion with the promise of true editorial freedom --- a biographer's dream come true.  Realizing the opportunity of a lifetime, Lauren reluctantly accepts the position.  Caught up in the frenzy of life at the White House, Lauren begins to unravel the complex woman who is the President and finds herself more intrigued by Devlyn with each passing day.  Painfully realistic at times, funny, romantic, and endearing, "Madam President" is a drama set against one of the most dynamic backdrops imaginable and follows two lives destined to be entwined.

Lucia has been with the site since October 1999. She is one of the most gracious, warm, caring woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. When I sometimes feel the need to throw my hands in the air in frustration, I look back and count the many friends that I have come to know through this site and this fandom. I feel truly blessed. Thank you my friend.

LOVE'S JOURNEY - Carrie Carr (Yellow Rose Books, 2001, 336 p., $18.99, ISBN 193092867X). In this third novel of the Lex and Amanda series, Lex learns more about her mother's family, while Amanda begins to rebuild her relationship with her father.  New additions to their family bring them both happiness while an old adversary makes an appearance.  At the same time, unprovoked attacks on the two women grow more violent and deadly, as someone tries to tear apart the love they share.  Carrie Carr's other two novels in this series are "Destiny's Crossing" and "Hope's Path."

Buy this book! JACOB'S FIRE - Nan DeVincent Hayes (Renaissance Alliance Publishing, 2001, 254 p., $18.99, ISBN 1930928114)  Set in the near future, Jacob, a university professor/scientist has found a formula to cure AIDS - a formula that causes mass destruction if improperly used.  The government and a private pharmaceutical firm want Jacob's formula, and go to brutal, vicious, murderous means to get it. But Isleen, the pharmaceutical rep who is assigned to cajole him into selling the formula to her firm, refuses to exert unethical means, and, instead, she and Jacob eventually become friends and allies who try to fight "big government."  Isleen tries convincing Jacob that world events are following biblical prophecy, the end time is near, and that he should reconsider his staunch Judaic position.  She wants him to believe that the Second Coming of Christ is at hand.  Mystery, intrigue and suspense intertwine with secret societies and politics while the global leaders attempt to form a "New World Order" on the political, religious, and economic levels.  In the end, Jacob must make a decision on the Truth before it is too late.
