The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen to be published. No, really.
From Publisher’s Marketplace, which lists the latest book deals:
FICTION: WOMEN’S/ROMANCE
Syrie James’s THE LOST MEMOIRS OF JANE AUSTEN, written in a modernized Jane Austen style that weaves fact and fiction together seamlessly, and in which Jane Austen meets Mr. Ashford, falls in love, and has just the relationship her legions of fans and readers might wish for the beloved spinster, to Lucia Macro at Avon, in a good deal, at auction, by Tamar Ellman at the Laura Dail Literary Agency (NA).
Well, now we know where those Very Secret Diaries of Jane Austen used for MP1999 came from. 
We suppose one can expect to see this in a year to eighteen months.
