AUSXIP Salutes Sharon Delaney On Her Retirement from Creation Entertainment

ImageSharon Delaney has announced that she is retiring from Creation Entertainment via her twitter account - Sharon was responsible for ALL the Xena related and Lucy Lawless / Renee O'Connor goodies from Creation over the years - and there was an ENORMOUS amount of it. Lots of hard work went into it and it was a labor of love.

Without Sharon's work at Creation (someone who actually loved the show and not making a half hearted effort) we wouldn't have seen half the stuff (if not all). The Xenaverse didn't have the luxury images/video/contact with the actors that fandoms have today.

Sharon produced quality content via the Official Xena Fan Club magazines that gave us behind the scenes stuff and other goodies. It's hard work (although Sharon, being a fan, had a lot of fun doing it). It takes a fan to create something for other fans to enjoy and make it special.

The Xenaverse wouldn't have had the goodies we had without her.

Live Long and Prosper and Battle On, Sharon Delaney!

Watch The Sky Review by MaryD

ImageI have to say that I have enjoyed every single movie Renee O’Connor has appeared in, directed or produced. There is something about her projects that appeal to me; it’s about the human condition.

Whether it’s the incredible (and still my favorite) Words Unspoken or One Weekend A Month or Infinity or Diamonds and Guns – they all have one thing in common. They are all character driven and have a message about the human condition.

This is one of those movies, and I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Why? Read one!
