The Last Doorbell

Beschreibung

LONGLISTED FOR THE POLARI PRIZEAn encounter with an aristocratic couple changes everything... An intimate portrayal of an unlikely relationship that cuts across age and class Ben's past was supposed to be behind him: debts paid, savings secured, and a collection of outrageous anecdotes that would amuse his friends for a lifetime. But under pressure from his escort agency for "one final favor," he now stands at a precipice, finger poised over a doorbell. There's a moment's pause before his finger makes reluctant contact. He can't possibly know it, of course, but this doorbell, the last, changes his life forever...

Autor

William Parker set out to be an actor but decided in his mid-30s that the stage was too frightening and precarious a profession for someone of a generally nervous disposition - just because one might be good at something doesn't necessarily mean one has to do it!He's still addicted to make-believe, though, so settling down with fingers poised above a keyboard to bring characters to life has turned out to be just the thing, even if he's left it rather late.His first book, The House Martin, was published in 2010. His second book, The Last Doorbell, continues the story of a shy young man who might or might not bear some resemblance to his literary creator.
