Lee Harrington
Biography
Lee Harrington is an award-winning, critically-acclaimed author and musician who divides her time between New York City, Woodstock, and--when she is lucky—the south of France.
Her memoir, Rex and the City: True Tales of a Rescue Dog Who Rescued a Relationship (published by Random House and now available in enhanced eBook edition) is hailed as “the best human with dog memoir you’ll ever read.”
Her forthcoming books include two novels (The Expatriate’s Guide to Heartbreak and Secrets in Motion); a memoir about her experiences living in a tent at a Tibetan Buddhist retreat center after losing her husband, apartment, job and beloved dog (entitled, for now, In Tents); a four-volume young-adult fantasy series (which seems to be writing itself at the moment, thank goodness); and a second volume of Rex and the City. Lee is also working on a screenplay based on two Edith Wharton short stories. And that’s just her day job.
At night, Lee is lead singer in various rock bands. In 2012 she will record her first CD—a companion CD to The Expatriate’s Guide to Heartbreak, with eleven songs based on characters, lines and deleted chapters from that novel. Lee is also a kirtan walli and has lead kirtans throughout the East Coast. She leads chants from the Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Sufi and Native American traditions and continues to study mantra, chanting, and sacred sound with masters from many traditions.
Also at night, Lee teaches creative writing at New York University and studies graphic design, sound healing and energy medicine.
Sometimes she has to wake up extra early in order to compose essays, stories, columns and very popular blogs---which have appeared in such publications as Salon, Huffington Post, Jane, One for the Table and The Bark as well as in various fiction and non-fiction anthologies. For the past decade she has been an Editor-at-Large and contributor at Bark magazine.
Her other hobbies include Kundalini yoga, painting, and samurai sword.
She considers it a great gift to be able to do what she loves, and aspires to give back to the world in some meaningful way—ideally through her art.
Thus, Lee always gives 10% of her book sales proceeds to animal rescue.
