Wall Photos
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

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."
