Salute to Xena Con 2026

Looks like we are saying goodbye to the Burbank Marriott! Thank you to the hotel, which was a great venue for many years and took good care of us. We always appreciated the staff’s ability to remember us. I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff at the Daily Grill – phenomenal service.

15 March 2025

Today is a special day for AUSXIP Publishing – it’s our 10th Anniversary. Way back in 2015 it was a germ of an idea… and we all know what happens when an idea gets stuck in my head.

Celebrating 10 amazing years of AUSXIP Publishing, founded on March 15, 2015! Huge thanks to my incredible friends Cindy Tingley and Rosa Lambros (extarodainary our chief editor) for being supportive and encouraging me to take the next big step. To our talented authors and loyal readers, your trust and support made this journey possible. Here’s to many more decades of magic!

New Art by MaryD for AUSXIP Charity Auction

I’ve been busy gearing up for the AUSXIP Charity Auction to raise money for The Starship Foundation and The House of Bards. I’ve taken the opportunity to venture further than Character Creator (3D Character Software) and combined them with ComfyUI (Stable Diffusion) and Photoshop. Xena and Gab look awesome, don’t they? I’ve got a fair bit of my art in this year’s auction. The auction is starting on September 1! Check out the catalog for all the items (including the art!)

2022 AUSXIP Charity Auction Ends + Message From Starship!

And so the 16th AUSXIP Charity Auction ends for another year! Firstly, I want to acknowledge my partner-in-crime “Roger” – I couldn’t do it without you! It takes a village. To Xenites who come back year after year, to those who donated their goodies, who bid, donated and/or won. You are LEGENDS! I’m truly gobsmacked by your generosity and support.

I have the tentative total from yesterday’s charity auction!
The Starship Foundation: $5463
The House of Bards: $3580
Total: $9043
That takes our cumulative total to $270,212.91 since 2006!
Starship asked me to pass along this message of thanks!
“Huge thanks on to the AUSXIP community. Children in New Zealand are better off thanks to you!”
Battle on!
