  Moving to the sleepy town of Havens Hallow, Massachusetts, during my senior year hadn't been part of my future plans. Not to mention the ancient house my father bought sits next to the creepiest place imaginable—a graveyard full of battered stone statues. It's a far cry from the upper-middle class neighborhood we left behind. 
   
   
   
  That wasn't the only thing I had to walk away from. My position as the star quarterback of my old team has now been replaced with a not-so-cozy spot on the sideline. With a football scholarship on the line, I can't afford to be benched. But my grades are in the trash and my mood is buried somewhere beneath the soil of my new personal nightmare. 
   
   
   
  I need help, and fast. August Sanders, a classmate in my new school, volunteers to tutor me. As much as my bruised ego hates it, I can't turn down the offer. 
   
   
   
  However, he forgot to mention a pretty important detail that sends shivers through every cell in my body. 
   
   
   
  August isn't a student. Not anymore. He's not even made of flesh and bone. And apparently I'm the only person who's been able to see him in more than three years.

  When a gentleman called Joan lands up in a care home, Jim doesn't know what's hit him—everything about his new neighbour is triggering. And Joan is a colourful, combustible cocktail—ticking. Battle begins. May the best man win. But beneath antics and antique armour plating, what are both hiding? And maybe they just may be batting for the same team. An uproarious and uplifting romantic comedy about grey liberation.
  "An enchanting romance - funny, touching and inspiring" — STEPHEN FRY
  "It's very funny, very touching and has the absolute ring of truth about it. One can't but fall in love with these two more or less impossible people, as they fall in love with each other." — SIMON CALLOW
  >
  "A warm, joyful and ingenious tale of gay love from the UK's Armistead Maupin." — JOELLE TAYLOR
  "I adored this book. Touching. Heartwarming. Funny. Sad. Beautifully drawn characters I wanted to spend more time with…" — JONATHAN HARVEY
  "When we forget our gay elders and the radical queer people who lived so we could fly, we forget ourselves. Nathan Evans has not just remembered these elder angels, he has painted them with humour, love, truth and glory. This is a gem of a novella with characters to cherish." — ADAM ZMITH
  "One Last Song is a beautiful, smouldering, hilarious and sparkling testament to queer intimacy and the revolutionary potency of queer creative activism. Every page filled my heart with Pride." — DAN GLASS
  "One Last Song is edgy, funny and moving. A heady mix that packs an emotional punch." — PAUL MCVEIGH
  "Touching, powerful, punchy, funny and sweet. An absolute delight." — DAVID SHANNON
  "One Last Song is a necessary love story, both profoundly moving and profoundly optimistic. It will almost inevitably infiltrate your heart." – MARTIN SHERMAN
  Nathan says, "The fight for gay rights began in the sixties; some of its original warriors are now in their seventies and eighties, facing new battles with infirmity and isolation. This story is for them. I first told it in screenplay: it attracted the attachment of Simon Callow and Richard Wilson, but insufficient investment. I then told it as stage play: it attracted Arts Council funding (and rave reviews) for a site-specific performance at the legendary RVT, for one-night-only. It's a story that's always needed a wider audience. A story that remains un(der)told. Queer love in the care home? Here it comes in novel form."

  When seventeen-year-old Patrick Roman is offered a scholarship to a top hockey preparatory school, he thinks maybe his notorious bad luck has finally ended. With a hearing for his legal emancipation on the horizon, he dreams of getting scouted and securing a place on a D1 college team. There's only one problem: Roman has serious beef with his new winger on the team, Damien Bordeaux. Roman, with his buzzcut and tattoos, has nothing in common with trust-fund-kid Damien. 
   
   
   
  When eighteen-year-old Damien Bordeaux starts his senior year, he tells himself he's going to focus on hockey and school. He needs to decide what his future will look like. Does he pursue his dream of becoming an author? Or stay in his lane and do what he's good at: hockey. Regardless, he's not going to let any pretty boys distract him. Except his new center, Roman, is possibly the most beautiful boy Damien has ever seen. 
   
   
   
  But their antagonistic beginning turns into an unlikely friendship and then turns into something much scarier for them both. Navigating relationships is hard enough for normal teenagers. It's a lot harder when contending with lawyers, NHL scouts, and past trauma. Roman and Damien have to decide: What do they really want? Are they willing to fight for each other—including fighting against their own pasts and prejudices—so they can have a happy ending?
