Caroline Harris lives in East Sussex, England and is married to a retired forensic detective. A mature mother of three adult children, she has had a varied career, including more than 30 years in the world of Travel. During this time she wrote a regular travel column and also articles for magazines connected with vintage cars (one of her many hobbies). After taking a course, she joined a local writers group and concentrated on finishing her novel The Wave Queen. Inspired by the1872 diary written by a ship's cook, a will and an early US naturalisation paper which she inherited, Caroline wrote The Wave Queen as a historical novel based on fact.

She is now busy working on her next book in the series.
