    <![CDATA[First published in 1974, The Front Runner raced to international acclaim - the first novel about gay love to become popular with mainstream.    <p>In 1975, coach Harlan Brown is hiding from his past at an obscure New York college, after he was fired from Penn State University on suspicion of being gay. A tough, lonely ex-Marine of 39, Harlan has never allowed himself to love another man.    <p>Then Billy Sive, a brilliant young runner, shows up on his doorstep. He and his two comrades, Vince Matti and Jacques LaFont, were just thrown off a major team for admitting they are gay. Harlan knows that, with proper training, Billy could go to the '76 Olympics in Montreal. He agrees to coach the three boys under strict conditions that thwart Billy's growing attraction for his mature but compelling mentor. The lean, graceful frontrunner with gold-rim glasses sees directly into Harlan's heart. Billy's gentle and open acceptance of his sexuality makes Harlan afraid to confront either the pain of his past, or the challenges which lay in wait if their intimacy is exposed.    <p>But when Coach Brown finds himself falling in love with his most gifted athlete, he must combat his true feelings for Billy or risk the outrage of the entire sports world - and their only chance at Olympic gold.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In 1974, The Front Runner was published, a novel of love and loss that became a best-loved classic about gay life. Now, twenty years later, comes the sequel - a story of passion, and victory pulled from defeat.  <p>After his young athlete lover is assassinated on the Olympic track in Montreal, coach Harlan Brown is forced to enter the race of his life. To survive the hate and violence which threaten his chosen family - Betsy, valiant lesbian mother, Vince, angry activist seeking revenge, Chino, Vietnam vet with a wounded heart, and the secret child of Billy Sive, The Front Runner.  <p>In time, a second chance at love comes. Vince Matti, 25, a runner who was Billy's best friend, has harbored an unrequited passion for his ex-Marine coach. Handsome, volatile, and passionate, Vince challenges Harlan's stoic and lonely heart in unimagined ways. Harlan must race with the shadow of the past - that memory of the brief idyll with Billy - and reach a present where love is enduring and real.  <p>Meanwhile, Harlan's ordeal with bias and bloodshed is not over. Snipers often work in pairs, and the Montreal shooter evidently had a cohort who escaped arrest. This mysterious stalker moves implacably into Harlan's world. And yet another stalker is moving into gay life - a disease that has no name. As events move to the climax, Harlan runs the most desperate race of his life - risking everything to win the victory torn from his hands at Montreal.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[For those who know Warren's previous novels, this is the third in a series. The first, The Front Runner, is about a young gay distance runner who was outed on his way to the Olympics. For those who haven't read The Front Runner yet, Billy's Boy stands alone as a story.  <p>Billy's Boy is a first person story, about a teen's passionate search to know more about his dead gay father, his lesbian mother's past...and his own sexual destiny.  <p>John William, 14, describes himself as &quot;the science geek from hell.&quot; He loves astronomy, dreams of exploring the universe as a NASA astronaut. But lately his attention is focused on Earth, his best friend Shawn, and his own awakening body. New in L.A., he hangs out with his straight girl buddy Ana and two Latino club kids, Teak and Elena, that he just met. William is sure he's straight, and he is irritated by Teak's effeminate attitude.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Surviving a massacre of wise Mayan priestesses, Earth Thunder flees her temple and journeys north to teach those who wish to know Mother Earth and Her great circles of life. A European noblewoman sends her family across the ocean to renew a spiritual link with Native America. To her grandniece, Helle, she entrusts a special mission. Along the way, in her quest to share her ancient knowledge, Earth Thunder meets River Singing, a slave girl who becomes her apprentice, as does Helle. They build a new temple of learning in the Deer Lodge Valley of Montana Territory. There they live by the old wisdom of life: one is the Sun, two is the Earth&#133; five is the human self. When enemies threaten to destroy them all, the Deer Lodge people will fight bravely and leave their mark in time. A brilliant historical novel that was ten years in the research and writing - back in print by popular demand!]]>

    <![CDATA[Winner of 2007 Independent Publisher Gold Award for Gay/Lesbian literature.    Some are legendary such as pilot Amelia Earhart and golf champion Babe Didrikson.  Others are less familiar   balloonist Alberto Santos-Dumont and javelin thrower Ana Maria Sagi. Some went public NFL running back David Kopay and downhill skier Erik Schinegger.  Others, such as Wilhelm von Homburg, were known only to sport insiders.    Some, like jockey John Damien, figured in milestone court cases. Some, like jouster Joan of Arc and racehorse breeder George Villiers, were historical figures. Others, like tennis player Martina Navratilova and figure skater John Curry, competed in modern Olympics.     But they have something in common: they were gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered.  And they stood out extraordinarily in their chosen sport. Their stories, carefully researched and movingly written by landmark author Patricia Nell Warren for Outsports.com, create a sweeping panorama and a heart-pounding literary experience.]]>

    <![CDATA[West Hollywood is teeming with stories, and the genesis of this book was prompted by a simple premise: If you were to set a story within the footprint of West Hollywood, what story would you most want to tell? And a clear goal: to capture the essence of a city through different interpretations by different writers. Fourteen gay male writers answered the call and are featured in NINE HUNDRED &amp; SIXTY-NINE: West Hollywood Stories.]]>

    <![CDATA[ Drei junge Leichtathleten stehen ungebeten vor dem Trainer Harlan Brown und wollen von ihm trainiert werden: Patricia Nell Warrens <em>Der Langstreckenläufer</em> lässt von Anfang an keinen Zweifel, dass die drei Sportler schwul sind, deshalb an ihrer Elite-Uni in Schwierigkeiten kamen und nun einen neuen Trainer suchen. Warum aber an einem kleinen, unbedeutenden College und warum Harlan Brown? Die Jungs wissen oder besser ahnen etwas, was der Leser erst allmählich in Rückblenden und aus der Perspektive des Trainers erfährt: auch er ist schwul und genau deshalb hat es ihn an dieses unauffällige College verschlagen, wo er sich sicher wähnt vor einer Öffentlichkeit, die ihm schon einmal sehr zusetzte und die ihm im Verlauf der Romanhandlung noch weitaus mehr zusetzen wird.<p>  Der Roman spielt in der Zukunft: veröffentlicht 1974 findet die Haupthandlung ein bis zwei Jahre später statt und kulminiert in der Olympiade in Montreal 1976. Zwei Generationen treffen aufeinander: Harlan entstammt einer Generation, für die Homosexualität noch mit allem besetzt war, was Medizin, Psychologie, Rechtsprechung, Religion und Medien an Stigmatisierung und Pathologisierung bereitstellten. Dementsprechend quält sich Harlan mit Versteckspielen, geht lieber als S/M-Superhengst auf den Strich als sich auf eine emotionale Beziehung zu einem Mann einzulassen. Dieses Versteckspiel kostet ihn auch fast die Erfahrung der großen Liebe -- in Gestalt von Billy, dem begabtesten der drei jungen Läufer, die alle schon vom Geist der Stonewall-Ära geprägt sind, ihre Gefühle zeigen, sich das Recht auf Liebe nehmen und sich nicht um die herrschende öffentliche Meinung scheren.<p>  Es kommt, wie es kommen muss, bei einem der schönsten Liebesromane der schwulen Literaturgeschichte: Harlan und Billy erleben die ganz große Liebe. Und sie brechen gleich mehrere Tabus: ein älterer Mann und Lehrer liebt den jüngeren Schüler. Aber für die Öffentlichkeit noch unverzeihlicher ist, dass dieser offen schwule Sportler seine Nation bei Olympischen Spielen vertreten soll. Patricia Nell Warren nimmt hier faktische Fragmente und verbindet sie zu einer atemberaubenden und herzzerreißenden Story, die auch heute nichts von ihrer Wirksamkeit verloren hat. <em>--RJ Poole</em></p></p>]]>
