E-mail me when Rosemary Harris releases a new book.

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 traded in her pumps for a pair of plastic garden clogs to indulge in her favorite pastime.

During one long snowy winter when she couldn't be in her garden, 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, Pushing Up Daisies.

When she’s not writing or gardening, she tries to find time for kayaking and hiking; at last count she’s visited over 70 national parks, monuments, and recreation areas, but her favorites are Yosemite and Canyonlands.

She’s also a diehard New York Knicks fan, even though the last few years haven’t been easy (residual bad karma from trading Patrick Ewing) – just like Paula Holliday, the heroine of the first Dirty Business mystery, Pushing Up Daisies (2008.) Book two in the series is The Big Dirt Nap (2009), and Deadhead will be released in spring of 2010.

Rosemary is a board member of MWA/NY and President of SINC New England, a member of Garden Writers of America and CMGA (Connecticut Master Gardeners Association.)
