THE AD MAN MEETS THE MOUNTAIN MAN

Moon Over The Western Bridge is the first novel by accountant turned author, Harry Sharp. It’s the story of a sharp young Chicago ad man, Justin Pratt, who is sent on an unlikely journey to find the composer and producer of a song written over fifty years ago by Daniel Webster “Griff” McGraw. McGraw has settled into the life of a recluse in a cabin at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Pratt’s firm needs the song, Moon Over The Western Bridge for a prominent client to use in a commercial. The people that Pratt encounters along the way help shape his character as he prepares for his climactic encounter with Griff. The negotiations for the song rights end up revealing a lot about who Justin was and who he has become during his journey.

Harry Sharp, a career accountant, had an early background in writing and always thought he should try his hand at a novel. A driving vacation from Chicago to the Smoky Mountains inspired the journey taken by Justin Pratt, hero of Moon Over The Western Bridge. He resides in suburban Chicago with his wife, Glenda. They have one son, Billy.
