  Will José be drawn into the dangerous life of a smuggler? Or settle down to a quiet life in his father’s shop in Havana? 
  In 1760 Cuba, José Albañez, a free boy of color, resents his charming but unprincipled uncle Domingo’s pressure to join him to sea on one of his smuggling ventures. He would rather continue his studies at the Jesuit school and then follow his father into the joiner’s trade. 
  Instead, he finds himself struggling to master seamanship, lodging with a Jewish trading family on Jamaica in the aftermath of a slave revolt, and confronting kidnappers on Saint-Domingue. The arrival of a British fleet off of Cuba in 1762 forces him to decide where his future lies.

  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."

  FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE ROTTERS' CLUB AND MIDDLE ENGLAND 
   
   
   
  In the heady summer of 1977, a naïve young woman called Calista sets out from Athens to venture into the wider world. On a Greek island that has been turned into a film set, she finds herself working for the famed Hollywood director Billy Wilder, about whom she knows almost nothing. But the time she spends in this glamorous, unfamiliar new life will change her for good. 
   
   
   
  While Calista is thrilled with her new adventure, Wilder himself is living with the realization that his star may be on the wane. Rebuffed by Hollywood, he has financed his new film with German money, and when Calista follows him to Munich for the shooting of further scenes, she finds herself joining him on a journey of memory into the dark heart of his family history. 
   
   
   
  In a novel that is at once a tender coming-of-age story and an intimate portrait of one of cinema's most intriguing figures, Jonathan Coe turns his gaze on the nature of time and fame, of family and the treacherous lure of nostalgia. When the world is catapulting towards change, do you hold on for dear life or decide it's time to let go?

  This historical poetic prose short story takes place in mid sixth century BC Greece during the time of Cyrus the Great, the Shah of Persia. It involves mystery and espionage. It is based on actual events as recorded by Herodotus...and it has a few twists. 
  "The Oracle of Delphi sits alone in a room beneath the Apollo Temple which was built over that holy space, the space where the crevice had opened from beneath the earth to give us that wonderful gift of communion with the sacred gods. There she sits, to guide us all and answer our concerns." 
  The Oracle was a powerful priestess of Apollo in ancient Greece. She directed the rich and influential by giving them communications from the gods. But her messages could be misinterpreted -- or were they deliberately misleading? 
  This audiobook is temporarily autonarrated due to time and budget constraints. As a medical student, I hope to narrate my books personally in the future. Thank you for supporting independent authors! 
  This is my poetic prose prelude which serves as the first chapter to my historical espionage mystery novel with a touch of romance, The Spy of Delphi:That Which is Hidden, which is the first book of my quadrilogy, "Priests and Magi". It was first written and published as an independent poetic prose.
