Thornfield’s Pocket Chronicles — now expanded into one volume, coming soon!
Before Jane Eyre is the story of Edward Rochester as a young man, about the people, places and events which shaped him before he meets the love of his life. What was the chain of events which compelled him to leave England? What convinced him to follow the path laid out for him by his father, Henry Rochester — a man he hated? Rowland, Edward’s elder brother, would inherit the family estate, so Edward would be left to fend for himself. But his father was determined to provide his younger son with a secure future by means of a wealthy match—to the daughter of his old friend in Jamaica.
At first Edward refuses, but when circumstances leave him no choice, he must submit to his father’s scheme and go. But four years later, after his father and brother are dead, Edward leaves the West Indies, determined to make a new life for himself. But no matter where he goes, Edward can never escape his past.

Edward Rochester: The Master of Thornfield Hall
Edward Rochester has endlessly searched the world for love, but after ten long years of wandering abroad he is more convinced than ever—it is an impossible quest. In a bitter, disappointed frame of mind he at last returns home to England, believing still that true love can never be his. But an unexpected encounter with destiny in the shape of the remarkable young woman, Jane Eyre, upends his world.
For a man whose youthful surrender to duty long ago altered the course of his life, Edward is faced with an unbearable choice: will he again yield to the will of others, to the man-made laws which shackle him to one woman, while his body and spirit yearn for another? Will he defy society, the Law—and even God—to have what he wants?
