Rosemary Harris

Rosemary Harris was born in Brooklyn, New York, and now splits her time between Manhattan’s East Side and Fairfield County, Connecticut. After several careers in book retailing (Waldenbooks), direct marketing (Crown Publishers, American Express), and television (Disney/ABC Video, WNET, New York’s public television station), she read a small item in the New York Times about a mummified body piqued her interest. Subsequent research led her to a new passion – writing – and her research led to her first book, the Agatha and Anthony–nominated Pushing Up Daisies featuring amateur sleuth Paula Holliday.(2008) Subsequent books in the series are The Big Dirt Nap, Deadhead and Slugfest (Minotaur Books. Her latest book is a standalone novel, The Bitches of Brooklyn. It's the story of four friends awaiting the arrival of a fifth at a Cape Cod bungalow. But the fifth woman doesn't show – instead she sends a note telling them she's run off with one of their men. Do they believe it? Is it a joke? Who pretends not to care and who does the snooping? If you liked Paula, Babe and Lucy from the Dirty Business series, I think you'll like Rachel, Clare, Tina and Jane, the fun, feisty Bitches of Brooklyn. An Amazon download $1.99. Rosemary is past president of MWA/NY and SINC New England, a member of Romance Writers of America, Women's Fiction Writers Association and CAPA (Connecticut Authors and Publishers Association.)
