- Gregory Harris was born and raised outside of Chicago where he first developed a love of storytelling with the encouragement of a sister and cousin both blessed with fertile imaginations. He moved to Los Angeles where he attended and graduated from the University of Southern California.
He began his post collegiate career working at several talent agencies before moving into television and motion picture production, starting out on the landmark ABC television series, MOONLIGHTING, with Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd.
From there he worked on several motion pictures including - CLEAN AND SOBER, LOVE AFFAIR and PICTURE PERFECT. He next moved to CBS Television where he worked on many notable on-air series among which were TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, CHICAGO HOPE, NOW AND AGAIN and PROMISED LAND.
After twenty years in the entertainment industry, Gregory decided it was time to begin writing on his own, and switched careers to give himself the freedom to do so. He entered the financial services industry and wrote a series of short stories before trying his hand at both a work of fiction and non-fiction. Just as the financial services business began to face harsh challenges, he finally turned his attentions to novel writing, specifically historical mysteries featuring Colin Pendragon and Ethan Pruitt. They would keep him focused through some rough times.
Gregory still resides in Southern California where he is able to indulge his passion for motorcycle riding. His other passion is travel - most notably prowling about the fog-shrouded byways of London once traversed by Colin and Ethan.

Sound familiar?
The twist that Harris inserts into this obvious pastiche is that Colin Pendragon and Ethan Pruitt are gay lovers who have been together for fourteen years without being discovered, at a time when sodomy was punishable by death. OK, then; if you can accept that, then you should find this book a diverting read. I just found it ludicrous.
Pendragon and Pruitt are asked to investigate the murder of an abbot in his monastic cell in Dalwich, with his tongue cut out. While there, they get involved in a second murder, that of a local girl. The story grinds on with not much in the way of plot twists, and very little action. I thought it was OK, that's all. I was not impressed that the last few pages are essentially a trailer for the next book in the series; I could have done without that being tacked on to this story's resolution.… (meer)
