Thank you so much for your kinds words. Writing this book about Jane Austen was truly a work of my heart... as was my novel about Charlotte Bronte. I am upset that you are having a hard time finding a copy of THE SECRET DIARIES OF CHARLOTTE BRONTE... it should be available everywhere. You can easily order it at any book store or online at:<br />http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/006164837X?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwsyriejames-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=006164837X<br />Thanks again for your review.

I tend to veer away from Austen fan fiction, but I think (weirdly) I'd prefer to read fiction about her OWN life rather than a continuation or change in the plotline of her characters' lives.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-81734801157560896982010-07-02T09:26:46.524-04:002010-07-02T09:26:46.524-04:00Mari- I'm sure it's hard to give your char...Mari- I'm sure it's hard to give your characters a happy ending when they are based on real people, but James does a good job with what she has.

I recently read the Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte and thought James did a very good job with that one. I found it intriguing that the Bronte sisters tried so fiercely to keep their identities a secret. Warning: the ending is a bit heartbreaking...marihttp://www.mischiefmaricookies.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-76396731759580901302010-07-01T17:12:02.949-04:002010-07-01T17:12:02.949-04:00I thought it was delightful too and looking forwar...I thought it was delightful too and looking forward to the CB diaries also.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09391899740930810224noreply@blogger.com
