A 'new' Emily Bronte novel??

'Spirit writer' Morwenna Holman channels the ghost of Bronte...

Morwenna Holman is a 'spirit writer', which means her novels are dictated to her by spirits, "communing with the departed to write stories of their lives which are lost in the mists of time."

Her first novel, Westerdale, was published in 2013, a story she wrote in her teens, when she said she was visited by the spirit of Emily Bronte.

Morwenna recalls what Emily Bronte said to her... "And through you he (a man Emily knew in Haworth, Heaton Grimshaw) shall live again and my novel will be sent out to the world to deride, dismiss or enjoy, as is the will of the readers."

Morwenna sells her books in an effort to raise vital funds for Morley Holistic Cat Rescue. The charity desperately needs a new cattery for the many abandoned felines it deals with.

In Heaton, the prequel to the already published novel, Westerdale we find out how the early life of Heaton Grimshaw shapes and moulds the character of the man he later becomes.

We asked Morwenna what Emily Bronte thought of Heaton:

"Was Emily pleased? For the first time I saw her smile as I unpacked the first precious editions of Heaton and in that smile was the warmth of the most wonderful spirit I have ever encountered. She was, and to me, is, a rare personality with the most immense talent and a true mystic.

Emily, I hope and pray I have done you justice with the two books!"

Heaton is the prequel to Westerdale. The second of her books to have been written by Morwenna via the spirit of Emily Bronte.

Have a read and let us know if you think this is true or not... we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Heaton and Westerdale are both available to buy now from Amazon and FeedARead.
