"One Morning in Provence by Lorna Fergusson unfolds not as a single journey, but as a series of moments — glimpses, really — where lives tilt, however slightly, toward revelation. Her Provence is not merely a setting but a quiet conspirator..." Patricia Ferstenburg


Lorna Fergusson is an award-winning short story writer and novelist. Founder of Fictionfire Literary Consultancy, she is an experienced editor, speaker and writing coach, and has taught on various Oxford University writing programmes for over twenty years. Her latest book is ‘One Morning in Provence’, a collection of short stories set in France. She has won an Ian St James Award and the Historical Novel Society’s Short Story Award, as well as being shortlisted for the Bridport Prize, Pan Macmillan’s Write Now Prize for children’s fiction, the Mogford Prize (twice) and the Historical Novel Society’s First Chapters prize.

  7. Lorna Fergusson's introduction is perfect, but then so are her own short stories in 'One Morning in Provence'!
