To Save a Viscount @JessieClever #RLFblog #Regencyromance
Welcome Jessie Clever author of To Save a Viscount, a new Regency
romance.Why did you write
this book?I wrote this book because Lady Margaret Folton insisted I do
so. Maggie was a character that popped in an earlier book in this series, and
she had such a fascinating story, I knew she would require a book of her own. So
here it is.What is your favorite
genre to read?I love historical fiction. It’s so important to study
history and learn from the things of the past. Historical fiction is a great
way to introduce new topics and subjects to readers, and I love the power it
has to encourage a love of history.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?I love and hate Lisbeth Salander from the Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo series. She stays true to her character right through to the end
even when she makes you cringe. She’s so beautifully written it’s stunning. It
literally takes my breath away when I see how brilliantly she’s written.What are you working
on at the moment?I have begun drafting the follow up series to the family of
spies found in the Spy Series. This series is called the Shadowing London
Series and will focus on the children of the Black family of spies.What books will we see
from you in coming months?I plan to release the first book in the Shadowing London
Series, a late Regency/early Victorian historical romance focusing on Samuel
Black, the oldest of the Black family off spring, this fall!Please tell us about
your latest book.Genre Regency romanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RWhen an
assassin threatens England’s spy network, Lady Margaret Folton must find the
killer before it’s too late. Hardened from being forced to witness the murder
of her British spy parents by French revolutionists, Margaret approaches this
mission like any other, with steely determination and a resolute focus on the
necessary outcome at the cost of all else.Commodore
John Lynwood, newly returned from the Mediterranean, finds himself granted the
title of viscount in honor of his service during the war. Plagued with a string
of good luck throughout his life, the title serves as another reminder that
Jack has done nothing to earn the glory and prestige that comes with his
position, and he’ll be damned if he’ll enjoy such an honor.But
when Jack is accidentally granted a title meant to be used as bait to lure the
assassin into the War Office’s trap, Margaret must face the tragedy of her past
and decide which is more important: the assignment or love?The
books in the Spy Series:1/2.

Why did you write this book?This story is in response to emails and reviews from readers. They all wanted to hear more about the Black family, a family of spies during the Napoleonic Wars. And who was I to say no? The Black family was happy to oblige with another adventure.What is your favorite genre to read?Historical romantic fiction especially when it has an element of mystery or suspense.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?I’m going to be clichéd and say Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. Ever since he was brought to life by Gregory Peck, I have this weird habit of picturing him as God. I really do. There’s just something comforting about that character.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I have just started working on the Shadowing London series, a Regency romantic suspense trilogy that will follow the story line set up in the Spy Series short stories.Please tell us about your latest book.Samuel Black must make a decision: to be a spy like his
father or follow his heart.Either is likely to give his mother chest pains.For Samuel is no longer a lad with the ambitious and noble
wish of being a lamplighter to keep the seedy streets of London safe. About to
embark on university, his mind stirs with the thoughts of creating a policing
force in London to safeguard its citizens. Held back by his family’s legacy as
spies, Samuel does not make his ideas known.But when he stops a would-be purse-snatcher, his path
unexpectedly veers into that of one Miss Penelope Paiget, and suddenly, Samuel
must make a choice.The short stories in the Spy Series:1. To Be a Spy2. To Be a Duke3. To Be a Lady4. To Be a DebutanteThe Spy Series short stories take place after the conclusion
of the Spy Series.About the Book
