Chandler ‘Guy’ releases debut novel
Action, suspense and corruption are all part of a debut novel written by Chandler’s Carrizal subdivision resident Guy Harrison. His book, “Agents of Change,” is set for a Feb. 13 release.
The book will be available for e-readers, such as the Kindle, Nook and iPad, through Amazon and Smashwords with a $2.99 list price.
“Agents of Change” is an
adult action / suspense novel set primarily in present- day Philadelphia and told from the point of view of the protagonist, Calvin Newsome III.
“The novel explores two possibilities,” Harrison says. “One, what if there were people out there who had the power to create a Utopian society? Two, what if those people abused their power?”
