Miriam

Coles was born into a Long Island family going back to the 17th century. She

was descended from Robert Coles who immigrated to

America with John Winthrop in 1630. She

was educated at St. Mary's Hall-Doane Academy (now

Doane Academy) in Burlington, New Jersey, and Mme. Canda's

Girls' School in New York City. On April 20, 1864,[4] she

married Sidney Smith Harris (1832–1892) of New York, a lawyer, with whom she had

two children, a son, Sidney and a daughter, Natalie.After the death of her

husband in 1892, she spent most of her time in Europe, dying in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France in 1925.

A devout Episcopalian, who late in

life, some sources suggest, converted to Roman Catholicism, But, New

Catholic World, Volume 86 (1908), in a review of Tents of

Wickedness wrote, "The keen appreciation, the deep sympathy,

shown in the telling of that story bespeak a personal note, something perhaps

of what the author herself has experienced in her way to the world, Volume 68 (1899) it states,

"we have received the following notice of an author, Mrs. Miriam Coles

Harris, who entered the one true church about two years ago ... Unlike most

American authors, Mrs. Harris has not been a contributor to magazines, having done

no writing outside of her novels with the exception of two devotional books

written while she was a member of the Anglican Church. Her most recent

publication, A Corner of Spain, is therefore somewhat of a

departure ... When Mrs. Harris made the visit to Spain, she was not a

Catholic." However that information is inaccurate, she had written many

magazine articles. She published a number of children's stories with a

religious theme, prior to her first novel. These included Philip and

Arthur (1859), Ash Wednesday in the Nursery (1859)

and Saturday Afternoon (1859). Coles-Harris

also wrote many magazine articles. These include "A Playwrights

Novitiate" in the Atlantic

Monthly (1894), on writing for the stage, and

another in Lippincott's Magazine (1893),

criticizing the undue exaltation of what she called "Seventh Commandment novels".
