Shakespeare and Cleopatra: My Life Is Not My Own is the twenty-ninth in a series of novels. During the writing of each novel, I have kept a journal in which I have reflected on each chapter as a contribution to the writing process and speculated as to what to do next in order to advance that cause. The story of the evolution of this novel, My Life Is Not My Own - through planning, writing, editing and polishing - is described in the journal, The Making of My Life Is Not My Own.
