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, remembered either publicly in museums, monuments and heritage sites, or through subtle, private memorial acts.
Her PhD is in Cultural Heritage theory and she has lectured in, and researched, cultural heritage and museums for many years. She has run a small social history museum, and worked as a journalist in Australia and London.
Jennifer is from Western Australia and has lived also in France and the UK. In 2020 she relocated to Seattle in the spectacular Pacific Northwest of the USA, and in 2025 moved to New York City.
