J T FernieJ.T. Fernie is the pen name of Moira Macfarlane, British
Consul in Florence for eight years and briefly Acting Director
of the British Institute of Florence. Her early love of telling
stories led her first into teaching, then as an HMI wih the
former Scottish Office Education Department. Her love of
travel and literature enlivened the stories she told to children
and friends, allowing free rein to her imagination-a freedom
denied in writing educational reports for publication.
Moira returned to Scotland when she retired and, encouraged
by her children and happily distracted by her grandchildren,
began writing fiction. The Istanbul Ring is her first novel. Read More Read Less
