I spent part of my honeymoon reading Margaret George's "The Memoirs of Cleopatra" and much of the next decade researching the fate of Cleopatra's children for my own novel. Now, historical fiction writer Michelle Moran, the best-selling author of NEFERTITI and THE HERETIC QUEEN, brings us the fascinating story of CLEOPATRA'S DAUGHTER. I'll be telling you more about this stunning book in a separate review, but for now I give its gracious and talented author the floor!]]> http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/10/13/my-interview-with-michelle-moran-author-of-cleopatras-daughter/feed/ 6 http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/09/25/new-movie-based-on-hbos-rome/ http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/09/25/new-movie-based-on-hbos-rome/#comments Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:49:44 +0000 Stephanie Draven http://stephaniedraven.com/?p=798 OMG, how did I miss this rumor? Apparently, Ray Stevenson (aka Pullo from HBO's Rome) has confirmed that a movie is in the works to bring the awesome show to the big screen. Oh, writers of Rome, I will overlook the travesty you made of Cleopatra. I will pretend you did not get many things wrong about Egypt. And I will even forgive you for presenting the Battle of Actium as a plume of smoke in the background of Mark Antony's rowboat. Come back to me, my love. I have missed you so...]]> http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/09/25/new-movie-based-on-hbos-rome/feed/ 0
