A hurricane is about to hit New York City and Edward has (probably) just been dumped by his boyfriend. He could use a break. Bradington Bay is a journey into the heart of America. Stopping at roadside bars, diners, and even the grave of the Kentucky Colonel, he will find that – thankfully - journeys home rarely go as planned.
Alaric Mark Lewis's debut is an unforgettable epic. Bradington Bay is Homeric in scope, suffused with the adventurous energy of Jack Kerouac, and the heart of James Baldwin.

Alaric Mark Lewis has been a piano bar performer, bartender, waiter, film critic, teacher, wedding singer, pizza maker, Benedictine monk, and writer in the US, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Navigating a world of eccentric figures and fantastic storytellers, his path led him to become the priest of three city-centre Medieval churches in Norwich, where with his partner Maurizio and dachshund Linus he continues to surround himself both with great stories and eccentric figures. He has written four books on the spirituality of loss and illness.

Bradington Bay is his first novel.
