I don't
actually use this word often although I think it's a very nice arrangement
of vowels and consonants and rolls off the tongue satisfactorily. When I hear "effervescent", I
usually think of champagne bubbles, which I believe other Whores have
covered earlier in the week. Certain actresses like Marilyn Monroe and Carol
Channing come to mind, and maybe Zooey Deschanel? Oh and the character of Penny
on the "Big Bang Theory" at times!
Having said that, I was pretty effervescent myself
yesterday, when my most recent novel MAGIC OF THE NILE got a five star review
from Night Owl Reviews and was named as a Top Pick! Whee!
The Reviewer said, in part, "If you love ancient Egypt, this is the series
for you."
Who needs champagne? Well, ok , it might have been
nice to celebrate the good news. I do love mimosas…
The ancient Egyptians didn’t have champagne but they
definitely had wine, with fabulous names like “Star of Horus on the Height of
Heaven,” which came from a vineyard that stayed in business for 2300 years. The Egyptians
graded their wines as “good,” “twice good” and “three times good”, which was
the best quality. In my novels I make sure Pharaoh is only serving that at his
banquets. Wines could also be characterized as genuine, sweet, merrymaking
(which seemed to be the cheap stuff that flowed like water at big parties) and blended.
Wine is consumed during MAGIC OF THE NILE, but only the good stuff!
congrats!
