This is the announcement everyone has been bugging me about.....the donation totals from the XWP Charity T-shirt sale!   Now, this total does not include, the projected total income from the upcoming XWPCharityT Crossword puzzle being played in Pasadena.  Nor does it include the interest that will accrue on the account one more time before I close it and make out the two cashier's checks to the charities, so it will be a few dollars more when all is said & done.  After all expenses for the shirts, advertising and shipping, we made a total of.................  :::drum roll please:::

$10,339.03!!!!!


This total will be divided equally between the two charities, The Starship
Foundation (specifically, the Starship's Paeditric Neurosurgery Theatre,

    The Xenaversity of Minnesota (XoM) announces the BIGGEST collectable to hit the Xenaverse! The Xenaversity Banner, with Creation’s help, is going to be auctioned off for charity at the Pasadena Convention May 4-6!!! This is THE most autographed item EVER! There are autographs from 186 cast and crew members associated with the "Xena: Warrior Princess" television program, including those of Lucy Lawless, Renee O'Connor, and Rob Tapert!  Check out the Banner page on our website: http://www.xenaversity.com  for a complete list of signatures and to stay current on information! If you have attended a Hercules and Xena Convention in the past two years, you may know of this Banner. The Xenaversity Banner is a large purple banner with Xena's chakram painted in the center. The autographs fill the area, with Lucy, Renee’s and Rob’s in the center! The Banner was sent to New Zealand, courtesy of Creation Entertainment. Thanks to the enormous generosity of Renaissance Pictures, it was signed on set, during the final weeks of filming this beloved show. A scrapbook containing information on the Banner and color copies of photos authenticating signatures will accompany the Banner. The Xenaversity is taking Lucy Lawless' personal cause local, by auctioning this memorabilia and donating the proceeds to two charities with missions of protecting children in Minnesota. True, the person who purchases this Banner will own a piece of history, but the real benefactors will be the children the proceeds help. The Xenaversity of Minnesota is a fan club based in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area. If you would like to become a member, local or cyber, sign up via the site. See you all in Pasadena! - The Xenaversity of Minnesota.

  • What surprised you about Renee (O'Connor)?
    SEAN: Her manager gave her some big shoes to fill, built her up to be great in every way almost to a point where one would not believe it...she was.
    ROSS: Renee did something I couldn't believe. Renee came by the office with her mom to say goodbye to us before she left Los Angeles. Knowing we were really tight on funds, she handed us the money we paid for her hotel bill. We told her she didn't have to do that, but she insisted; what a wonderful person. All of our stars, Corbin, Renee, Arye Gross and Debra Wilson, were a pleasure to work with. Corbin and Arye are true veterans of filmmaking. Their experience was very helpful. Renee was extra sweet. Debra Wilson's comedic 'MADness' in between takes was a much needed release for the entire crew

  Susanne Beck fans here is the sequel to Redemption with more Ice & Angel!
Buy this book!
Retribution is a story with action, drama, suspense...and too many emotions to list.  Told by Angel herself, it will let you see into her very soul.

This sequel to Redemption details the lives of Ice and Angel as they cross over the border and try to make new lives in a small vacation town in Canada.  They meet both friends and enemies along the way and their love for one another grows and deepens.  But obviously, as a fugitive from justice, danger is always only one step away from Ice.  The man who fixed it so she was sent to jail for a crime he committed is out to get her again.  Several of his cronies manage to find her, and she trades her life for Angel's and is dragged away.  Can she save herself and find her way back to Angel and happiness?
