What if Cleopatra had won at Actium? How did Eva Peron really feel during her life?  Can a woman be president?  See the forces of history and the game of power played through the eyes of women.


Cleopatra Victorious is a richly imagined novel. The first in a series, Cleopatra Victorious explores an alternate world in which the entire history of the world is changed by just one battle. With the victory of Cleopatra and Antony at Actium instead of Octavian, the world changes both for the better and for the worst.  Through the eyes of a fictional Cleopatra, we see the decline of the Roman Republic,  the days of the Ptolemies, see the ancient world come to life, and are transported back to the days of pharaohs, emperors, and gods.  We meet the "celebrities" of ancient Egypt and Rome, as well as some familiar Bible characters, all through the fascinating lens of alternate history.

Did you Know?


The Pyramids and Sphinx are so old Cleopatra would have seen them as ancient?


That Cleopatra was the only member of her dynasty to learn the language of the native Egyptians?


That Cleopatra, the most famous woman in Roman history, was a Greek?


That Cleopatra at one time ruled an empire that spanned Africa, parts of the Holy Land and Syria?


Cleopatra's image as a bimbo of history who brought two great men to ruin is an unfair one, written by her enemies, who had annexed the country she fought so hard to keep free, and thus slandered her reputation. It is not only unfair, it is false.  Cleopatra was an intelligent woman who loved her people dearly and in this novel we get to imagine and see the world if she had won. In this novel, Cleopatra is victorious over death and keeps her kingdom independent, and finally the Egyptians, a fascinating and misunderstood people, can shine. Cleopatra will no longer be a legend, she will be your friend.




"Don't Cry for me, Argentina..."


The truth is Evita has never left us. Eva Peron-- who was she? A saint? A whore? A fascist? A mouthpiece for a dictator? A  feminist? All of these things? Or simply a girl who wanted to make it big, and just as normal as you or me?


Evita: Una Vida Apasionada, available only in Spanish, is the "autobiography" of Eva Peron. Although a work of fiction,  it involves a depth of research combined with two trips to the fascinating country Evita lived in.  In this novel, Eva tells her story, not as a saint or a tyrant, but as a lonely, abandoned woman, betrayed by the man who she fought for and believed in, and bares it all. No question about her life is left unanswered, and you will leave the novel feeling as though you just met Evita and lived her short but exciting and turbulent, and ultimately doomed, life with her.

This fascinating woman comes to life in a novel, and the decision is yours to make. Was Evita good or bad for Argentina? Is she someone to be emulated or is her tale a cautionary one? The choice is yours, and yours completely.
