ABOUT THE BOOK
SONNY NOIR’S STORY - THE LAST GOODBYE
by D. C. Chambers
Sonny Noir’s Story shows a complex relationship between twenty-five-year-old Sonny Noir, a gay man feeling beaten by the system, and forty-two-year-old Jacqueline Svenson Skylar, a newly transplanted wealthy New York socialite who recently moved to Chicago carrying a lifetime of unhappiness on her shoulders.
The Last Goodbye opens with a riveting quadruple homicide at the Miami International Airport on February 13, 1981, which the news media quickly labeled as the “Friday the 13th Massacre at MIA.” It circles back in time with Sonny telling his life story from his teen years to the day he and Jacqueline witness the unfolding scene at MIA. He searches to find a balance between his love life as a gay man, desperately tries to understand the mounting complications of his friendship with a straight woman whose life has fallen apart, and the struggles of social injustice against the lesbian and gay community he encounters along the way. Through all his ups and downs, he fights to stay true to his own identity. He’s not exclusive to surrounding himself with men. He also cherishes the comfort of women as friends. Sonny and Jacqueline find a connection within the first few minutes of meeting while attending The Oak Park School of Hairstyling, even though they come from opposite ends of society and the money spectrum. Sonny is driven and worked hard to achieve a great education to pull himself up from his lower middle-class roots. But after five years in his computer career, he became disheartened and began to lose hope in the American Dream. He encounters many disappointments in his life, but he’s a fighter.
Sonny and Jacqueline’s lives are filled with never-ending trials and tribulations, alcoholism, and cheating. It leaves you asking the question many times over—Why can’t they part and go their separate ways?—leading up to the realization that saying goodbye may be their only way to survive.

Book Reviews
“I read 'The Last Goodbye,' Non-stop! It's that good. It pictures respectfully and passionately three exciting ambiences: The gay world, New York socialites’ naked souls, and a Broadway stars hidden insights. All through the eyes of a naive character that the reader cannot abandon. Bravissimo! And the end? A great opera finale!”...Ani Bozo, Profesora Literaria at Universidad De Cartagena, Cartagena, Columbia

"Judges Results, 25th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards."
In The Last Goodbye – Sonny Noir’s Story, a genre novel by D. C. Chambers, we are presented with a touching story of how we can all learn to cope with the problems and difficulties life throws at us, and how an unexpected friend can sometimes make all the difference in the world. Overall, the writing is clear and fast paced. The title for the novel seems to this reader to be cryptic and mysterious, providing the reader with a suggestive entry point to the work that establishes keen alignment with the genre and sets the reader up with strong expectations. The characters here are fully realized, vivid and alive, directing the action with trackable motivation which the reader can believe. And, the hallmark of well drawn characters, they often do surprising things making them very human, which can be rare. The overall design of the book is professional. It features an interior layout that is crisp and clean with text design on each page that is readable and presented soundly. It may seem minor, but getting the interior in order is an important step in getting the reader hooked! Also, the cover image for the book is glossy and glamorous, giving perhaps too clear a picture for the reader...Judge’s Commentary*:
I thought the book was more than just a good read--and I read a lot of books!...Charles M. Byrant
I really enjoyed, 'The Last Goodbye.' Looking forward to your next book!...Kathy West Lindsey
