  You can visit Michelle Moran's website and find out more about Nefertiti including an excerpt.

  Tara Marie did a great review of this book when it came out in hardcover.

  "This is one of those books you want everyone you know to read. When I sat down to review this I picked up the book to skim different passages, and found myself rereading huge chunks of the book, finally giving up and rereading the whole thing."
