Tessa Harris author biography, plus links to books by Tessa Harris.

Tessa Harris

Tessa Harris read History at Oxford University and qualified as a journalist and editor, contributing to several national publications such as The Times and The Telegraph. She also acted as a literary publicist for the English TV presenter and novelist Pam Rhodes.

Winning a European-wide screenplay writing competition led to the optioning of a screenplay. Set in 18th century England, it highlighted what has to be one of the most fascinating periods of England's past. The result was "The Anatomist's Apprentice," the first of a series of Dr Thomas Silkstone Mysteries - stories from late 18th century England that are based on true stories.

Until last December Ms. Harris was editor of a regional glossy magazine and was regularly heard on BBC local radio. As well interviewing dozens of celebrities, she interviewed writers at literary events in front of audiences. Her most recent interviews were with Oscar winner Julian Fellowes (screenplay for Gosford Park), Barbara Taylor Bradford and Hollywood legend Leslie Caron.
