What was your inspiration for Seduction?
When I write a novel I always need a
question I want to answer. It’s not what the book is about… the reader might
not even notice… but it keeps me motivated. The question that started this
novel was way back in the early 2000s when I read Les Miserables. I was so curious about Fantine. She was such a
tragic and heartfelt character. Who was
she? Why did she have such a great impact on Hugo? Being
a writer I knew it probably wasn’t as obvious as it one might guess.
How much research do you have to do for your novels?
It’s different for every novel but lately from 3 – 6 months.
What was the most interesting fact you discovered when
researching for Seduction?
I
didn’t know – and don’t think many people know - how much Hugo believed in
reincarnation and the spirit world. He held over 100 séances trying to reach
his daughter and completely believed he was talking to long dead souls like
Jesus, Dante and the devil.
Tell our readers why they should read Seduction
I can’t… but I’ll let some other peopleJ
"Mysterious, haunting, and tragic, Seduction emerges as a suspenseful alchemy of potent ingredients,
beautifully blended, that ignites your senses and leaves you aching for
more." —Jamie Ford, New York
Times bestselling author of Hotel on
the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
"Seduction
transcends time, recounting the story of Victor Hugo's tragic loss of his
daughter and his desperate attempts to contact her via séances. Fast forward to
the present, when Jacinthe 'Jac' L'Etoile, a mythologist specializing in Celtic
lore, probes the secrets of the Isle of Jersey, where Hugo communed with
spirits and composed his journal. With alacrity, Rose interweaves mythology,
the supernatural, psychoanalysis and Evil Incarnate, creating an amazing
amalgam of narrative wonder. And, yes, M.J. Rose fans, there are reincarnationists
in Seduction, and they will haunt
you." —Mystery Lovers Bookshop
"Seduction by
M.J. Rose interlaces the tale of a bereft Victor Hugo, mourning the loss of his
daughter over 150 years ago, with the present day chronicles of Jac L'Etoile,
caught up in an ancient Druid mystery that is affecting the lives of everyone
around her. Intriguing, absorbing, and utterly captivating, Seduction will leave you begging for a
sequel." —Books & Books
