About the author

Mary lives in Australia and have been writing for fifty years starting off with short stories of the antics of the neighborhood misfits. She's written short fiction stories for various Australian and US magazines and some non-fiction articles. It wasn't until 2000 she realized she wanted to delve into World War II and women of the resistance. Her first full length novel "In The Blood of the Greeks" was published in 2001 together with the short story "You Must Remember This" under the title "Out of Darkness."
Mary has won multiple awards for her historical fiction, romance, and urban fantasy novels. One of the highlights of her life was when her debut novel, "In the Blood of the Greeks," and its accompanying non-fiction volume, "In the Blood of the Greeks: The Illustrated Companion," were selected by the Jewish Museum of Greece for its collection on the Holocaust in Greece during World War II.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024I loved this book. I really didn't know what it contained.
So much history of the show, the fandom, the stars, brought back lots of memories.
I had no idea there was still active fandom going on!
Incredible, touching stories from so many people whose lives were impacted by
this show and the Xenite Community!
This book directly led me to finally sign up for Xenite Retreat.
Highly recommended if you are/were ever a fan of the show!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021An excellent read with incredible art pieces by fans showcased along the way. MaryD outlines the vast history of the Xena fandom offline and online really well. The different perspectives from several contributors are also fun to go through. For newer fans, consider this an essential guide for everything you may have missed from a dedicated fanbase starting back in 1995. And of course, longtime fans will be thrilled to relive different periods of Xena's 25+ year impact on the world. Reading this helped me gain a deeper appreciation for all things XenER. Highly recommended!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021It took us by surprise that the book was thick and heavy! It was well-printed and a great quality book! We have enjoyed reading every story submitted and have read a couple stories over and over. The book has opened our eyes and we have learned so much. We have learned just how profound the show, Xena: Warrior Princess, has truly affected and touched so many lives across the world. The show brought out the best in people and just like Xena, each has discovered her/his own many skills. Because we all knew XWP, we have been changed for good.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020Just finished the book. It was released yesterday. All I can say is, thank you. Thank you to the creators of this show, to Mary D for the incredible work, and to the Xenites who make the Xenaverse the force for good that it is. The final image in the book has not left my mind. Granted I only finished reading 5 minutes ago, but I have a feeling this will stay with me for a long time.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2021This book is a detailed timeline of the Xena Warrior Princess TV show and fandom! It explains just how integral the fans were in the success of the tv show and how the new fangled internet helped in its success. A must read for all Xena fans!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2020Mary D. What a fantastic tribute to the warrior and her bard! Not to mention the fans who keep it all going!
I loved this book! A must have for all Xena fans! Hard to believe 25 years have gone by and I'm still reading fanfic! See you all at the convention next year!

- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2020So happy to get this book! After a year of waiting I finally got it. It is all I thought it to be - and more! I am so very glad to be a part of the Xena (Xenite) community and feel even closer to them today - 25 yrs later!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2022I'm a fan since 1996. It's for my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Xenites
This book is a magnificent journey to the past, to memories and great times, as well as to the friends and teachings Xena and Gabrielle gave us. It's expensive, but the quality of the pictures, the number of pages and the content are worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bellissimo
Un libro bellissimo, pubblicato in occasione del venticinquesimo anniversario di Xena Principessa Guerriera. Contiene una sezione con le storie dei fan, sul perché il telefilm li ha aiutati. L'intero ricavato delle vendite andrà a beneficio di due organizzazioni create da Lucy e Renee, le due attrici principali.
