I assumed that when I began my research I would discover that Ramesses was tall, dark and handsome (not unlike the drool-worthy Yule Brenner in The Ten Commandments). She married Ramesses II and possibly lived through the most famous exodus in history. The Heretic Queen is the story of Nefertari and her transformation from an orphaned and unwanted princess to one of the most powerful queens of ancient Egypt. No, I mean the large surprises which alter the way we think about an ancient civilization and humanity. I don’t mean the small surprises an author uncovers during the lengthy process of researching for an historical novel, such as the fact that the Romans liked to eat a fish sauce called garum which was made from fermented fish. I haven’t yet read her latest book, The Heretic Queen, but after reading this guest post, I can’t wait! (Keep reading for details on how you can win a copy of Nefertiti.)įirst of all, thank you very much for having me here! When you first asked me to write a guest post, I knew immediately what I wanted to talk about. Today, I’d like to welcome Michelle Moran, author of Nefertiti (read my review here) and The Heretic Queen, to Diary of an Eccentric.
