2016 Xenite Retreat and Writing Workshops
In April I attended the first Xenite Retreat and the following is my in depth report. I briefly covered the entire retreat and made mention of two workshops I conducted.
Workshop 1: Small Press and Indie Publishing. It was great to meet people who were interested in publishing their work and having lunch with them. Our group had a lively discussion about the differences between publishing with a small press publisher or going all out Indie. The feedback was amazing. Thank you to those who attended.
Workshop 2: Creative Writing: When Your Imaginary Friends Speak To You…this was a lively group and for once I actually followed my own outline (small injoke that my editor will fully appreciate) and went through the process from initial idea to getting ready to publish. It was a full on two hours and the discussion with those present was superb. The handout included an outline of topics and a link to more resources and software. Exclusive to the Xenite Retreat!
Overall it was a great experience for me on my first outing as a presenter.

This book combined my love for history, research and my characters – it was a joy to work on and I had the unbelievable help of Lucia Nobrega who did her amazing Eva and Zoe Illustrations plus the Australian War Memorial and the New Zealand War Memorial via the The Alexander Turnball Library in Wellington, NZ. The Jewish Museum of Greece just went out of their way to help with giving me access to their material and photo archive. A researcher's dream come true.
It's 1942 in German Occupied Greece during World War II, and two women, one Greek, the other German must work together to help Jews escape. They have to put aside their mutual antipathy to accomplish their clandestine operation. They know that one wrong move will put an end to their lives.
In The Blood of the Greeks The Illustrated Companion is about the events written in the award-winning novel “In The Blood Of The Greeks”. Real life heroes of the Resistance, life in war-torn Greece and the Jewish fight for survival are portrayed through illustrations, images and real accounts. Part coloring book, part history book featuring Brazilian artist Lucia Nobrega's illustrations of Eva Muller and Zoe Lambros and other characters from the novel.
