Xena: Their Courage Changed Our World Book Trailer

I'm heading to the Xenite Retreat and I have quite a few surprises for those who will attend my panel about How Xena Changed Your Life which of course is what the upcoming Xena: Their Courage Changed Our World book/s are about.

Those lucky bods have the first look at the content of books but not to leave anyone out...here's a snippet. This is a HUGE collaborative work in progress - 40 Xenites are working on writing their chapters (I'm not kidding) + Xenite submitting their stories, artwork, video etc. Have a look. Are you excited yet?

Credits: Music by Cheyne Curry, Illustrations by Lucia Nobrega and I had the fun job of putting it all together (I just LOVE my job)

Renee has posted on her official Instagram account about the Christchurch Terrorist Attack.

New Zealand, my heart and one of the most peaceful places in the world, will overcome this darkness. Gun control in New Zealand is fierce, unlike in the United States, and they live in a Culture of Acceptance. I pray for the families in their great loss.

12 CANCELLED TV SHOWS WE'D LOVE TO SEE REVIVED

BY MATT FOWLER For better or worse, everything old is new again. Reboots are nothing fresh in Hollywood, but it's only recently that TV's caught a severe case of revival fever - bringing back old hit shows with all, or most, of the original cast intact.

A Xena: Warrior Princess reboot, or revival, or reboot-quel, has been a part of the ongoing rumor mill for a decade now - ever since star Lucy Lawless started having high-profile TV gigs again (Spartacus, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, Ash vs. Evil Dead).

The pilot script for a failed 2016 reboot was even released online, with writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach's approval, last year.
