Down on the South Beach Drag

“The Shore Sound is rising, innocence is falling as heroes easy to like and villains easier to hate fuel a steaming—and unforgettable—summer of initiation. This is coming of age like it once was and always should be!“—James M. Tabor, winner of the O. Henry Award for short fiction and author of Blind Descent “This engaging story is full of quirky characters, unpredictable twists, a beautiful love story, and even an appearance by Bruce Springsteen. Mehuron’s novel shines as it showcases the wonders of living outside-the-box. A joy to read!“—Jacqueline Friedland, USA Today best-selling author of He Gets That From Me “I loved this coming-of-age story and its brazen heroine! Down on the South Beach Drag will transport you to a time and place when societal norms were a barrier for the wild hearts and talents of blossoming artists and free spirits. Thank heavens not everyone stayed behind those barriers! This unique novel is filled with lovable, wild, and unique characters and a storyline that will make you stand up and cheer.”—Kris Radish author of The Year of Necessary Lies. “Mehuron’s Down on the South Beach Drag is a captivating journey of self-discovery set against the vibrant backdrop of 1970s Asbury Park. With a unforgettable kaleidoscope of characters and a story that tugs at your heart, this is a must-read for anyone who’s ever dared to really chase their dreams.“—Marley Gibson, Radiate and the Ghost Hunter series
