Announcement from Bedazzled Ink!

Something splendid is coming our way!
Rogue Books is slinking out of a musty well-hidden back room of Bedazzled Ink Publishing Company with an exciting new project, The Xenaverse Scrolls. We want to document the Xenaverse phenomenon before memories fade about its origins and history. Call us crazy but we want everyone to know about the wonderful phenomenon of the Xenaverse. So Xenites of the world unite! Be as crazy as we are and help us capture this amazing world created by the fans of Xena: Warrior Princess and preserve it for present and future generations to view with awe and envy, and for scholars to study and analyze and write scroll upon scroll of scholarly prose.

This series of scrolls, converted to the convenient book format, will contain personal stories and well-researched, in-depth essays covering all aspects of the Xenaverse. Join us in this celebration of the Xenaverse. Become of a part of the Xenaverse history.

We are currently looking for contributions for the following volumes:

If you're interested in participating, read the submission guidelines for each book and put together a brief proposal of the topic you want to write about.
