M. J.
Harris's Petite Biography
How long
have I been writing? Well, ever since I could
handle a pen (four years old) I have been creating
stories for family and friends. My poetic creations
were beginning to surface around this age, too. My
parents read to me as early as I can remember, and
their selections consisted of many of the classical
favourites; Shakespeare, Wadsworth, Keats , Blake
and Mallory to name an elite few.
I spent a
copious part of my childhood in Belgravia England,
where my current home abroad still resides. By the
age of eleven, I entered my first academic camp, and
already had read all of Shakespeare's plays and the
entire collection of his beloved sonnets. Literature
has been a first love of mine my entire life. I
come from a long line of Oxford and Cambridge
graduates. My grandfather attended St. Andrews and
Oxford where he met and became good friends with
Tolkien.
I have a
deep love of music. My interest include classical
Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven etc … My
contemporary interests includes Enya, Groban,
Charlotte Church and many more too numerous to
mention. It is my interest in opera that caused me
to become a classically trained first soprano.
I'm a strong
Christian and owe everything I have to Jesus. My
husband and I have raised our children Christian,
and we are proud of how they love the Lord. I am
also a big fan of Tolkien and anyone can tell, that
has read some of my work. I belong to the
Tolkien society I
highly recommend joining this society if you are a
fan of professor Tolkien's work.
Along with
being a poet, I am also a novelist. I have three
manuscripts I am busily working on. I have one book
in editing stages and to be published hopefully
soon. . If you would like to read my interview

I will
continue to write it is a passion for me I never
plan to quit. I feel it to be something I have
aspired to do all of my life.
Until we
meet again,
M. J. Harris
