Zita Harrison, writer, artist, is a lover of Gothic literature: dark personalities and settings, tortured romance, the supernatural. An avid reader of ghost stories as a child, she fell in love with Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte in high school. For her masters in English literature, she did a thesis on Gothic literature vs. the work of Pablo Picasso. Zita's writing is inspired by Picasso's words: "A work of art must make a man react, feel strongly… He must be seized by the throat and shaken up… he has to be made aware of the world he’s living in and for that he must first be jolted out of it." Owl Manor – the Final Stroke is the third standalone book of a trilogy of Gothic Suspense novels. Zita Harrison lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband.
