Imagine you and your partner are looking at somewhere to live that's prominent, for your growing business yet plenty of room for any expanding family.
A disused church set high on a hill in the United Kingdom overlooking a beautiful landscape and nearby village comes onto the market and the opportunity is too good to pass up.
Your work as a sound engineer re-recording and polishing sounds for record companies before they lay final music tracks on compact discs means you are looking for a building with excellent harmonics and the former church fits the bill.
Music runs in the family as your wife is a piano and singing teacher who brings the former church alive with her singing.
The hairs on the back of your neck first rise when you check out the former church with the real estate agent and see a metal etched photograph of a boys choir that used to sing in the church. You stop dead in your tracks when you believe you can actually hear the boys singing as you check out the old building.
Obviously your imagination runs wild and you discuss what you experienced with your wife. The pair of you buy the disused church and move in.
On your first day at work you've set up your equipment and make yourself a cup of tea and sit down to enjoy it. A cold feeling comes over you and you clearly hear a teenage boy ask whether you will help the choir that used to sing in the church to hold one last concert so they can farewell their parents.
The problem with all this is that the boys' choir met an untimely death as they were being transported to the airport to begin a concert tour in Australia a decade ago.
This is the scenario I deal with in my latest book on the afterlife, One Last Concert.
This book deals with moving on the spirits of people who meet an untimely death and become trapped between heaven and earth. It looks at the spirits of the boys being able to communicate with the new owner of their former church, John Sutton and delves into the world of people who can help the trapped spirits move on.
The United Kingdom is renown for its love of community singing and this book captures a growing community support that wellsprings into a national push to support the Suttons on their quest to help the boys. In doing so, the Suttons unite not only a village but also a nation.

Emotionally Moving And A Wonderful Escape
Once you start, you get straight into the story line, the characters are brought to life with wonderful sensitivity.
This is a feel good book, and great for someone who has lost someone, as it gives you hope there is life outside of what we know. I found the book to be emotionally moving and it was a wonderful escape from life as we know.
A book filled with hope, community spirit and love.
