Ask the Experts

SPOTLIGHT ON: WOMEN AUTHORS

“Ask the Experts” Senior Editor Lady Macbeth interviews Cleopatra, whose new book explains how every woman can gain the upper hand.





Lady M: What’s the title of your new book?

Cleopatra: Commanding Women (And the Men Who Follow Their Commands).

Lady M: Ooh--that sounds fascinating.

Cleopatra: Yes, it is.

Lady M: Is it autobiographical?

Cleopatra: Of course.

Lady M: Will this book be controversial?

Cleopatra: That’s the hope. Everything I do is meant to attract attention. My publicists have arranged some men-only late night book readings to stir things up.

Lady M: To “stir things up”? Could you explain that?

Cleopatra: The intention is to pull them away from their wives.

Lady M: I don’t mean to be cynical, but why would these men come to hear about Commanding Women?

Cleopatra: All men who attend my book readings will be given complimentary signed photos of me, a Cleopatra: Snake Nasty! poster, and a chance to appear as an extra in a movie about my life. Plus a Wii Fit.

Lady M: But will these men actually buy your book?

Cleopatra: No, but their wives will. Guaranteed.
