THE COLLECTED LORNA MOON

Edited By Glenda Norquay
Foreword By Richard De Mille

Discover one of Scotlands best-kept literary secrets.

Twice married, widely travelled and romantically entangled with the brother of Cecil B. DeMille, the story of Lorna Moons transformation from landlords daughter in the North-East Scotland to successful scriptwriter in the early days of Hollywood is as remarkable as her fiction. But while she may have left her native land far behind when she crossed the Atlantic, life in that close-knit community never left her imagination.
Bringing together her acclaimed novel Dark Star, short stories Doorways in Drumorty and a selection of her previously unpublished letters and poetry, this volume offers a fresh perspective on an extraordinary woman, who defied convention to live the Hollywood dream.

GLENDA NORQUAY is currently Reader in Literary Studies at Liverpool John Moores University. Her publications include an anthology of literary writings from the womens suffrage campaign, Voices and Votes, and an edition of Robert Louis Stevensons literary writings, R. L. Stevenson on Fiction.
