Anecdotes & Armadillos
Written by Zienia Merton, and edited by Robert E. Wood, Anecdotes & Armadillos is a diverse, entertaining and frequently laugh-out-loud funny collection of anecdotes from throughout her life and career. Zienia Merton is most well-known worldwide for her portrayal of 'Sandra Benes' in the 1970s science fiction series Space: 1999, and her time on Moonbase Alpha is well documented in the book. Also featured, among many others, are Doctor Who, Gregory Peck, 'Feidka' the tiger, Ridley Scott, the Sahara, and a promise of fur and nudity! Gracing the 195 pages are 34 photos from Zienia's career on television, film and stage, two letters of great interest and the last (joke) call-sheet from Year One of Space: 1999 - a must for every fan!
A huge hit with readers, Anecdotes & Armadillos is available for $25.00 US and is sure to entertain!

The following is a review of Anecdotes & Armadillos from Sandra Sprecker:
"Zienia Merton's Anecdotes & Armadillos is just utterly charming. Ms. Merton recounts with glee a life in theatre and on film where she outclasses her competition, wears many wigs and has survived with her sense of humour intact. Working professionally from the age of 12 years to the present day, Ms. Merton writes candidly about how her experiences as an actress have built upon each other over time and have provided for her a unique perspective on acting and the world. Sometimes she pulls no punches when she has a tale to tell, and that makes the tale ever more delicious.
This book is a joy to read. Don't start it late at night if you have to get up the next day because you will easily catch yourself saying: 'Just one more story...' and the night will be gone. While this book will be of interest to Space: 1999 fans, as Ms. merton recounts her time on Moonbase Alpha, the book is so much more a glimpse into a person's life and how they choose to live it. Ms. Merton has bravely shared her life with us and you will not regret spending some time in her company."
