Is the Secret diary of Laura Palmer for real?

I've been told today that Laura Palmer was inspired in a real diary. I laughted, saying that evidentially Laura Palmer and its diary were a piece of David Lynch's brillant mind. But my friend insisted, and I saw a few testimonials on this book on internet telling that they were impressed that this was real. So, is it real FOR real or David Lynch's daughter is making some gossip around it for a better selling result?

    David Lynch and Mark Frost were originally working on a screen adaptation of the Marilyn Monroe biography 'Goddess'. When they failed to get the rights to the book, the project they embarked upon instead, 'Twin Peaks', contained many elements of Marilyn Monroe's story - particularly the fact that she is killed just before she mentions in her diary that she is going to tell the world the truth about the famous and important man she is having an affair with (Ben Horne).
