PW Calls Cleopatra’s Moon “Fascinating!”

July 11, 2011 by Vicky Alvear Shecter 8 Comments

Three weeks. 21 days. 504 hours. And 30K+ minutes before my first novel, Cleopatra’s Moon releases. Publisher’s Weekly just reviewed it and calls it a “fascinating historical novel.” It says my main character, Cleopatra Selene (the daughter of Cleopatra, the only one of her four children to survive—for real) “proves a stalwart heroine.” Plus, PW adds, “the novel’s atmospheric setting and romantic intrigue are highly memorable.”
Drag Queen Cleo approves.  Here’s the link to the full review: http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-545-22130-6
Fascinating. Atmospheric. Highly memorable.
Yay!  I never thought I’d get published as a novelist let alone get a good review from PW.  So, to celebrate the good news, I’m giving away a signed copy of Cleopatra’s Moon on the day of its release (August 1). Look for details on the drawing later.
Meanwhile, I’ll be tweeting some of the fascinating facts I’ve learned about Egypt Rome. And dancing “like an Egyptian” in celebration. Come on and join me!
