Bradley Harris writes about American life from the special position of a Canadian: alien, but able to &lldquo;pass” among those whose language and culture he examines. Undergraduate and graduate education in arts, law, English, linguistics and creative writing, and a varied professional background in government, industry, the military and higher education, contribute to his perspective and style. He crawls like a viper through the suburban streets of Memphis, and lives with, and at the sufferance of, his wife Trish and urchins. He's the author of Incoming and other dramatic plays, short stories, and is at work on three other novels in the Jack Minyard series: Six Flags Over Jesus, The Midnight Clear, and Water Moccasin.
