Glory Beckons by Jean Baveystock

Welcome. I’m Jean Baveystock, author of historical fiction set in the tumultuous age of Napoleon.

My debut novel, Glory Beckons— Book One of the Three Men in a War book series—will be released in May 2025, followed by Book Two Fleeting Glory in Spring 2026.

 A new novel set in Napoleonic times seems to be a novelty and my take is quite different. In mine Napoleon plays a bit part. And Battles are few and far between. This is the romantic story of three very different men. Historical correct yes, I’ve made sure of that, based on true stories and eye-witness accounts. And yes, it did all happen! Even the servants and the all- important horses. And the love affairs. I haven’t had to bend the facts.

The first in a pair of epic novels that span the Napoleonic Wars, from the coronation of Napoleon and his preparations to invade England, to the disaster of the Russian invasion and the aftermath of Waterloo. All from the point of view of these three men. Ney, Wilson and Bruce.
