When Characters become Novelists

.
.
Napoleon played with writing a romance in his youth, but now his novella — "Clisson and Eugenie" — is actually going to be published, and in English. It feels a little strange to have a man I personally think of as a character in my novels publish his own novel.

I wish him well: "Bon courage, Bonaparte!" Were he alive to take charge of his own promotion, the book would do very well indeed.
