Jennifer Harris has been fascinated by the presence of the past in the present for as long as she can remember. She writes literary fiction inspired by the historic environment—not historical fiction, but fiction set in the contemporary era that responds to the past. Jennifer holds a PhD in cultural heritage theory and has lectured in and researched cultural heritage and museums. She has run a small social history museum and worked as a journalist in both Australia and London. An Australian by birth, she currently lives in Seattle. She is a watercolourist, hiker, skier and avid visitor to historic sites and museums.
