Here’s what you gotta do to win your own copy of Cleopatra Rules! The Amazing Life of the Original Teen Queen: Go to the bank and ask for ten thousand unmarked bills. Bring the cash to a locker at the midtown train station and then…
Oh wait. Wrong plan.
No, what I want you to do is…(drum roll please)…leave a comment. Yup, that’s it! Only one comment per person, please. However, I will double your entry if you follow this blog. Just click the “Follow” button toward the end of this page to make it official.
I’ll triple it if you also follow me on Twitter and friend me on FB (lower right buttons). The Queen of the Nile awaits your request for her royal presence. So get typing, commoner! Contest ends September 30.
I can’t wait to read this! Anyone who can combine humor, historical accuracy, and in-depth research is awesome, so I’m sure this book will become a favorite.
What… A chance to win something not only neat but useful too?
I am in. In fact, I’m in all the way

With two films about Cleopatra currently in development, and a new biography by Adrian Goldsworthy due out this winter, I need to brush up on my Egyptian Queens ….
Ooh, a contest! Count me in as a contender! 🙂
I’m a follower (naturally). I’m also going to give you a shout-out on my blog post tomorrow.
My god-daughter is really fascinated with all things Egypt now. I think this will be perfect for her.
well I didn’t read all of your post… so you can send my copy to the Lauderdale County Jail… only kidding… but it did sound like a good plan only I was going to ask for twenty thousand, ten for you ten for me.
Ok, put me in for three chances to win.
Vicky, What an awesome opportunity to see your new work!!! Thank you for bringing Classics to life!!
gratias maximas,
Laura 🙂
Sounds like a great read. Looking forward to it. Many blessings.
Hi Vicki, This book looks so fantastic, I can’t wait to read it! Like Narukami, I’m in all the way: comment, follower, fb friend.

I loved your Alexander book and can’t wait to read this one!
I’ve signed up to follow your blog, added you to facebook and now I’m leaving a comment. I do hope I win! If I don’t I’ll just the book. I’ve been looking forward to reading it. Looking forward to seeing you at the conference too.
Yay! I want a copy!! I never win contests, but here I am anyway. I love the photo of you dressed as Cleopatra, Vicky. The kids must have a blast when you come for school visits.
The cover just cries out — pick me up and read me quick!
Okay, sister, I FB friended you, followed you on Twitter, re-tweeted your giveaway AND I follow you here. Plus, I’m commenting.
AND, I got pretty grossed out by the duck fat make-up but I read all about it anyway. That should count for something. 🙂
Um, I just realized that I sound kind of like a stalker.
Which I’m not. Unless that would count for another point in winning your book.
Sounds like you know your ancient sources. Hope, for my 6th-graders sake, that you also tell your readers that Cleopatra’s family was Greek, not Nubian. And “on the souls of their feet” needs “soles.” Otherwise, cool.
I was so intrigued by your book when you first mentioned it, I searched the library for anything like it.
I can hardly wait for your book.
COUNT ME IN!!! May I remind you, it was I, I!!!!!, who pointed you in the direction of the Junior Classical League! That should get me another chance, right? Right? Also, I was a SUPER LATIN GEEK in high school. (I can ask “my place or yours?” in Latin. Also, “how much is that toga in the window?” among others)=Bing, bam, boom. Another entry. FInally, I AM YOUR FB FRIEND! And now, I’m going to Click to FOLLOW this blog! That book is mine, I say. Mine! *evil laughter**plans for world domination**looks for carpet so can be smuggled to meet world leaders to discuss dominationplans*

I got over here from your midsouth listserv post. What an entertaining blog! The whole duck fat post was great. I hope to meet you at the conference!
This looks like a great read! I love to learn something new while engrossed in a “can’t tear me away” story!
Love me a contest! I’m already a follower and FB friend, joining Twitter now and this is my comment! Oh yeah, Happy New Year and an easy fast today!
Wish I had history books as interesting as yours when I was young!
Congrats on your book, Vicky!

Enter me in the contest, or you’ll never see Yacky again.
Oh, and Yacky wants to know if he can enter, too.
I’m in for a chance to win. Who’s next on the bio list? Dr. Watson, I presume? Nefartiti? hmmmm
I can’t wait to get my copy!
This looks way fun.
Thanks- popped over from SCBWI listserve. Hope to rendezvous at the conference! I’m off to “like” you on FB now… * gasp * I don’t Twitter.

History is definitely a twisted sort of thing. Sounds like Vicky has done a perfect job or unraveling enough of it to provide a whole new perspective on Cleopatra. Congrats on all the great reviews. Can’t wait to read it.

Just finished watching HBO’s “Rome” series, so I’m intrigued by a new perspective on Cleopatra. Best of luck with your book!
I heard a report on NPR yesterday about a new adult book on Anthony and Cleopatra. I kept thinking about this book, and will be excited to read both! Hope it’s wildly successful!
