The shot of young queen Cleopatra VII is actually a self-portrait by photographer Elizabeth Salib (c). CLEOPATRA RULES! (Boyds Mill Press) comes out August 15.
The cover is a huge grabber -- sure to make decades of 6th-graders choose Cleopatra for their independent project in social studies -- and I love the whole theme of this blog! I'll put it on my blog roll so I can remember to check it out frequently and incorporate sayings into my vocabularly like, "I swear on my plumbs." Hooray, old critique-group friend!!
Thanks ya'll! Jess, I wish I could be at your NY launch. And Robyn, Sarah and Hardygirl, thanks for commenting--I feel like a little kid with a new present every time I see a new comment. ;o)
Vicky, L-O-V-E this blog! Your book cover is fabulous too. Man, that Shelli sure does good work, doesn't she :-) I'll be checking here at least every week for interesting tidbits waiting for Cleo to arrive. Come on over and follow my blog and maybe you'll win a prize there too!
