Bradley Harris’s Thorazine Beach is the winner of the
International 3-Day Novel Contest.
Harris
is a Canadian writer, editor, and teacher living and working in Memphis,
Tennessee. He is the only writer to have won the 3-Day Novel Contest twice; his
first novel, Ruby Ruby, won the 21st annual competition in 1998.
His other
works include prizewinning short stories and a dramatic play, Incoming,
produced in Memphis and Los Angeles. Brad holds BA and JD degrees, plus an MFA
in Creative Writing from the University of Memphis. He is currently at work on
his third novel in the Jack Minyard series, Six Flags Over Jesus.
About the Book: Jack Minyard is a private dick down on his
luck. He’s badly overweight and on the wrong side of sixty; he’s lost his
marriage, and maybe a little of his mind. After narrowly escaping charges in a
money laundering scandal, Jack must count on private contracts, the kindness of
strangers and a pile of prescription drugs to get by.
In a last-ditch play to
resurrect his career, Jack takes on a case that puts him on the wrong side of
the tracks and in the midst of some of the roughest trade going. Thorazine Beach
is a palpable and enthralling tale that will be released by Anvil Press in
August 2013.
