Xena, the warrior princess with the dark past, first roared onto the scene in 1995 as a guest character on 'Hercules'. In her own series, she joined with Gabrielle, and together they fought for love, peace, and forgiveness. Xena has become an icon of the 21st century, the toughest woman on television, and a role model for several generations. And the fans love her for it. 'How Xena Changed Our Lives' is a collection of stories written by fans for fans. Stories include:

* a fan who went to an early convention dressed as Xena, and has become one of the most recognized Xena look-alikes today
* a woman who wrote online fan fiction and got a call from the show to write two episodes
* a young girl who found the strength to stand up to schoolyard bullies through 'Xena'
* a woman who suffered a car accident and while recuperating, got a surprise phone call from the warrior princess herself

The book also includes a questionnaire answered by dozens of online fans, thoughts about the series finale, and a special tribute section to the late Kevin Smith, who played Ares, the God of War.
Sword and Staff, a charity organization run by and donated to by 'Xena' fans, will receive a portion of all proceeds of this book, which they will give to the Starship Foundation, a group that works to raise money for the Starship Chidlren's Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand, of which Lucy Lawless is a board member. Even after the show's finale, fans are still making a difference.
