Narrelle Harris (also credited as Narrelle M Harris) is a Melbourne-based writer. She is the author of "Fly By Night" (2004, Homosapien Books), "Witch Honour" (2006, Five Star Speculative Fiction) and its sequel, "Witch Faith" (2007, Five Star Speculative Fiction)[1]. She wrote the award winning short play "Stalemate" in 2003[2]. She is also known as a theatre reviewer. In 2006 she appeared alongside Scott Brennan in the short film "Outland" as "Ginny" [3].
Her work is an eclectic mix of genres: "Fly By Night" features two novellas about a gay musical duo who solve crimes, while the "Witch Honour" series consists of fantasy novels with a science fiction edge. In late 2006, on Australian community television station Channel 31's "Noise TV", she discussed her newest work, a vampire novel set in modern-day Melbourne[citation needed]. "The Opposite Of Life" will be the first in a three-book deal with Queensland's Pulp Fiction Press.
It is also expected there will be a third book to complete a "Witch Honor" trilogy.
Narrelle's earliest writing was through science fiction fandom, including work based in the Star Trek, Blake's 7 and V universes. Fanzines which she wrote and/or edited include Phoenix (B7), Scenario (The Greatest American Hero), Out of the War Zone (V), and Inconsequential Parallax (genzine), which was nominated for a Ditmar award in 1992 [4].
She has also written film and theatre reviews, the latter as a reviewer and feature writer for the now defunct online theatre magazine, Stage Left. This site is now preserved in the Pandora archives. [5]
