SecretDiariesOfCharlotteBronte[1]A recent contributor to the Flash Fiction Chronicles, Syrie James, has a new book coming out June 30.  The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë is a bio-novel  about the author of the beloved 19th century masterpiece, Jane Eyre.

Charlotte Bronte is Syrie’s exciting follow up to her best-selling novel The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen which was named Best First Novel of 2008 by Library Journal.  Here’s what Syrie has to say about her new endeavor.

Inspired by Charlotte’s correspondence, and based almost entirely on fact, Secret Diaries exposes Charlotte’s innermost thoughts, feelings, and desires, the inspiration behind her novels, her scandalous, secret passion for the man she can never have. . . and her intense, dramatic relationship with the man she comes to love.  Although I used my imagination to fill in gaps, I believe this is Charlotte’s story just as she might have written it herself.
