Written by Rob Tapert about Julius' birth.

NOW THIS IS XENA!

She's punched out more bad guys than John Wayne. Her skills with sword and shield are matchless. Lucy Lawless, star of Xena, was quite the warrior princess when it came to the home birth of her son, Julius, in Auckland. New Zealand. Rob Tapert, Xena's executive producer as well as Lucy's husband, gives his take on the experience:

From the start, Lucy was very adamant that she wanted a home birth. 1 thought it was just a passing fancy, but as we got closer to the due date, I realized she wasn't going to change her mind. She decided to give birth at our house in a tank of water. I was like, "Well, okay." Although this was very normal in Auckland, it all sounded pretty weird to me.

Battle On! : An Unauthorized,Irreverent Look at Xena : Warrior
Princess (Xena, Warrior Princess)
by Greg Cox

If you're looking for same old cast lists and behind-the-scenes
anecdotes that are in all the other Xena tomes, don't look here.
BATTLE ON! is as opinionated, funny, and fannish as I could make it.
(Not unlike the show itself.)
