From 1922 to 1936 he worked on the New York Daily News as sports editor, columnist, and assistant managing editor.

During his stint there, he was sent to cover the training camp of Jack Dempsey, and decided to ask Dempsey if he could spar with him, to get an idea of what it was like to be hit by the world heavyweight champion. Her greatest dream, in the first book, was to own a Paris couture dress; in the second she heads off to New York on a quest, and in the third she wishes – as you may have guessed from the title – to become an MP.

It was in 1941 that he made his name with The Snow Goose, a classic story of Dunkirk which became a world-wide best-seller.

Harris; political skulduggery, the glare of the media and the apparent betrayal of a trusted friend all becoming issues she just hadn't bargained on.I am still waiting on book two from the library so I am starting to wonder if the first book in the series is just the golden egg and the goose didn't make it for the rest.
