Hello Everyone !!!!

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've sent you all a message.

It's been a fantastic and very busy season for me. I've just wrapped Season 8 of Stargate SG-1. It was very strange this year as we don't know whether or not we're coming back for another season. So we were all in denial about saying goodbye. I am also the host of a new show for Sci Fi called Proof Positive: Evidence of the Paranormal. It explores real paranormal phenomenon and puts the evidence to forensic testing. Very interesting. Also, Proof Positive is a very different kind of show for me to do. I've never done the T.V. hosting thing before. It was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy it.

The really big news for me is something I have wanted for a long time. Alan and I are expecting a baby!! We are so excited! I am due on March 15th!! That's the really great news. The sad news is that I will have to cancel my convention dates for this fall and winter. Since I will be so close to my due date, I will not be allowed to travel during February, so regrettably can't do the GABIT event. The girls at GABIT have been extremely understanding and supportive but I am, of course, feeling terrible about having to postpone the event. I also have to cancel Level 3, France, and Germany in November and December. My doctor does not want me to be so far away and for that long. I have to say that I agree. I have been going full tilt this year and really feel that I need to look after myself and the baby. The truth is, I have had two miscarriages in the past 14 months and simply can't take any chances with this pregnancy. I was very much looking forward to all these events and to seeing everyone. I always enjoy seeing my old friends and meeting new ones. And I sincerely apologize for disappointing anyone or messing up your travel plans. I know how much planning goes into to deciding to come to an event, purchasing tickets and taking the time off. But, I am sure you will all understand why I can't attend. I hope you know how much I appreciate the fan support and the love I have received over the years .

I look forward to coming overseas and seeing you as soon as I can.

All my love and best wishes to each of you.
Amanda xx
