Ken Jorgenson is a Canadian author of fiction and poetry whose work is driven by a fas-cination with art, science, and the overlooked corners of history. His debut novel, The Blackhorse Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Smalltown Ontario Pub, co-authored with Bill Perrie and Alissa Heidman, received acclaim for its warmth, wit, and keen sense of place. A former international rugby player, Ken now turns his competitive spirit toward the canvas and the page—reading, learning to paint, and crafting characters who illuminate the quiet complexities of the human experience. He lives with his wife in northern France and is cur-rently at work completing a collection of short stories.
