Emmy Awards

  • I was sad to see that Sandra Oh didn't win an Emmy for her outstanding work on Killing Eve. The gong went to the incredible Claire Foy for her role as Queen Elizabeth in The Crown. While Claire was fantastic, I was hoping Sandra would get it. I've been a huge fan of hers since her days on Greys Anatomy where she was SUPERB it as Cristina Yang. I was thrilled to see The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Beat Atlanta for Best Comedy Series at the Emmys - that is fantastic show. Well deserved gong.

Movies - Captain Marvel

Feast your eyes on this! Yes, when? MARCH 8, 2019!

Higher. Further. Faster. The first teaser trailer for Disney/Marvel’s Captain Marvel, the hugely anticipated female-led MCU entry, has dropped. Brie Larson stars as Carol Danvers who becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races, and she finds herself and a small cadre of allies at the center of the maelstrom. The film is set for domestic release on March 8, 2019 with overseas rollout beginning two days earlier on March 6. Read More (but watch the video first)

The Holocaust

  • Mind power in Auschwitz - and healing decades later. Mind power in Auschwitz - and healing decades later. Her mother's wisdom helped Edith Eger create a happy inner life in Auschwitz - but true healing meant going back there. Edith Eger was 16 years old, crammed into a cattle truck, human cargo from Hungary headed for Auschwitz, when her mother gave her the advice that shaped her life. For most of the journey, her mother hadn't said much, hadn't cried or complained, but had instead gone inside herself. "That night," says Eger, "she turned to me and said: 'Listen. We don't know where we're going. We don't know what's going to happen. Just remember, no one can take away from you what you've put in your mind."
  • I survived the Warsaw ghetto. Here are the lessons I'd like to pass on by Stanisław Aronson. I'm 93, and, as extremism sweeps across Europe, I fear we are doomed to repeat the mistakes which created the Holocaust...

New Movie To Watch Out For...

  • I was listening to a radio interview on Sydney radio today with Noni Hazelhurst (I LOVE Noni) and she's talking about her new movie "Ladies in Black" which is set in a department store in 1950's Australia. Sounds like a fabulous movie and something I touch on my fiction series as well especially in my latest "Mabel of the Anzacs". Can't wait to see this! Watch the video!

AUSXIP Charity Auction

Hey guys have a guess what I was doing on the 7th September? It was STARSHIP AUCTION SPREADSHEET TIME! Starship sent over their spreadsheet of payments. We had some issues with the donation form on Starship. It kept crashing. There is a reason the Starship donation form fell over - the Xenaverse crashed another server :) (the donation form was a little iffy lately whether it went through ok or it stalled but we're getting that sorted out BUT apparently, everyone has figured it out) Does this count as a the Xenaverse crashing another server? I'm calling it - we did :)

Good news: $11K of the winning bids have already been donated and we are waiting on the last remained $2K to come in. Saying that Starship is overjoyed by this outcome is an understatement.

New Art: A Special Someone To Grow Old With…

A few days ago I saw this amazing photo of an older couple - a man and his girl on a bike with the words:

"Growing old isn't so bad when you have someone to grow old with that can hang on tight during hardest storms of life."

The words moved me and I mentioned to my book club group that I would love to see something like that for my characters of Eva and Zoe. You know what they say about putting it out in the universe. Well my friend Hayriye Makas Uygun decided to surprise me and create an Eva and Zoe version!

I LOVED THIS so much. May you have that special someone to grow old with who hangs on tight even through the hardest of times.

I have updated the Xenite Memorial to include Baermer.

Happy Xenaversary everyone!!!

Auction Update:

With the support of the Xenaverse, actors such as Renee O'Connor, Lucy Lawless, Adrienne Wilkinson and many others, we have raised (tentative total, not counting any additional donations) $13,293.97 NZD. That brings our combined total for all auctions held since 2006 to $198,293!

Just an amazing number. Xena's legacy has been to help others and to do it for the Greater Good. On her 23rd Anniversary, the Xenaverse has come together and created something special. Without your support, this auction would not have gotten off the ground in 2006 and continued since then. 

I have informed Starship that a whole lot of money is heading their way! THANK YOU everyone who supported, who bid and who won! BLESS YOU ALL! 

Thank you also goes to my team who are EXTRAORDINARY. Without them, it would be impossible to have this auction.
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR WARRIOR AND HER BARD! 23 Years ago a show was born and changed our lives!
I will have more to say about this once the Starship Auction is over....

The 11th AUSXIP Starship Charity Auction is ENDING in a few hours!
