Diamond Jubilee

Decca/Deram album cover, 1966

I have written a short novel with the title Diamond Jubilee. It starts out as a nostalgic look at the blues/rock music of the 1960s. It then takes a dramatic turn, and in the second half of the novel it becomes clear why releasing it during the sixtieth anniversary year of Martin Luther King's famous civil rights speech is appropriate.

I attach it below for anyone to read. I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know if you spot any errors or parts that don't work well!

I have also added a brief overview of the thinking behind the novel. This includes an explanation of the ending, so SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ BEFORE FINISHING THE NOVEL. IF YOU PREFER TO MAKE SENSE OF IT WITHOUT THE AUTHOR'S EXPLANATION, DO NOT READ AT ALL!
