As Seen in the NY Times Sunday Book Review Section -
One of the men is in the arts and the other is in the entertainment business. They both achieved success in their fields while carefully guarding their private world. Their life together was filled with humor as well as drama. They write of their rise from having no money and little success to one of them having exhibitions in important art galleries and works in museums; and the other going from acting to casting to producing and then becoming President of Warner Brothers Television.
"A love that once dared not speak its name sings freely—and beautifully—in DOUBLE LIFE, a fascinating, frank and page-turning memoir about the life-long love affair of two extraordinary men." —Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City

Alan Shayne, author of DOUBLE LIFE, posts this thought-piece about another recently released book by Scotty Bowers.

I recently read an article in the New York Times about a new book called Full Service by Scotty Bowers revealing the secret sex lives of the Hollywood stars of Yesteryear. I can't wait to find out if Rin Tin Tin had orgies in the kennel.

Read in HuffPo: this intimate look at an writer's life as Alan Shayne writes about both the positive and negative responses to the warm article about DOUBLE LIFE that ran in the Palm Beach Post.
"It only takes a jolt from the hate-mongers to remind us that the battle has just begun."

We have been so pleased with the positive response to Double Life. But it only takes a jolt from one of the hate-mongers to remind us that the battle has just begun.

"One of the most interesting qualities of the book [DOUBLE LIFE} is its depiction of the behavioral subtleties of gay life – the prevalence of a muted homophobia in Hollywood, for instance, theoretically one of the few places in America where a gay man could openly function in the 1960s and '70s."

Terrific review for DOUBLE LIFE by Alan Shayne and Norman Sunshine states: "Anecdotes about Bette Davis, Robert Redford, Katharine Hepburn and dozens more entertainment luminaries pepper the pages, but they're just diverting cameos in this exceptionally generous depiction of two men in love."
