| FIVE MARRIED MEN What causes a man to risk his career and a marriage of twenty years? What comes into this world with him that steals his thoughts and inspires risks that others can't comprehend? David Westin knows. He knows the power of a man's hand on the arm of another man. He has lain awake at night long enough to realize this haunting need will never allow him to go to his grave wondering what might have been. When the day comes his best friend reveals a lifelong secret, their destiny is uprooted and cast to the wind. Together they enter a world of discovery, of elation and joy, of heartache and deception and tears, of physical adventure that neither one could have imagined. Setting themselves apart from the general brotherhood of men, they hear the inner voice that compels them to open a door they can never close. One look inside their soul and you’ll understand why this lawyer and contractor give in to their urges. Most men would have difficulty talking about this novel, though many, alone in quiet contemplation would feel its effect as deeply as the marrow of their bones. When guided by the chemistry they were born with, they are among those who secretly feel like the fortunate few. They recognize the magic of an intimate bond with another man. |

| The Partisans Ethan Jones came to France long before the war started. He loved Paris—the lively cafés, the easy friendships with the artists and writers and whores. When the Germans invade France, everything changes. Two years after he joins the Resistance, Ethan takes an assignment in occupied northern France. The objective: Team up with another partisan, Adrienne Follett, and recover a satchel that went down in a single engine plane just north of Reims. Along the way, they meet up with Jhan, a German defector that ultimately wins their trust. Convinced Jhan is a Nazi hater, they allow him to join the team. They were told the objective was important. They were not told what the satchel contained. They had no reason to believe their involvement would help shorten the war, or save countless lives or cause them to have to leave France. They didn’t know that their own lives would soon hang by a thread; or that, in the end, a lifetime of loneliness would forever be left behind. |

| Review: THE PARTISANS by BEAUTIFUL.COM - Paris Martin Brant, author of the successful novel Five Married Men, brings us to occupied France during the Second World War and the times of the Holocaust. In this time of fear and oppression, the story follows a few weeks of the lives of black American Ethan Jones and French Adrienne Follett, members of the French resistance, and Jhan Strauss, a German defector. Martin succeeds with his easy to read style how these three individuals with totally different personalities cross paths, come to know each other and win each other's friendship and love in a period where trust is hard to find. The Partisans is a well written page turner. Like in Five Married Men, Martin Brant describes the wonders of human diversity in The Partisans in his unique way. He is a brilliant author who, with his work, contributes to the global acceptance of the love between two human beings, regardless their gender or sexuality. |

| Nothing will ever be the same for Michael Anderson, a renowned San Diego surgeon, after losing a little girl on the operating table. He blames himself, rightfully, having stayed out the night before to indulge in his exotic nightlife. A half continent away, Justin Brooks leaves his bride-to-be standing at the altar when he runs from the church as if it were full of vampires. Leaving his hometown behind in a fog of guilt and self-doubt, he finds solace in the vast desert wilderness of far west Texas, as a ranger in Big Bend National Park. Their paths cross where the river and desert and mountains meet the sky and a friendship is born. Together, as one day runs into another, they find peace in the whispering hues and textures of the arid land; and they begin to heal, learning more and more of themselves and each other. In the haunting desert solitude, they set their stride toward a new horizon. They love the mountains, the sunsets and the poetry of the land, and they realize they have fallen in love with each other. Michael, beset with increasing pressure to revive his skills as a doctor, finds it impossible to accept the responsibility. Not until he and Justin face losing everything they had found, do both realize yet another destiny in the Big Bend. Neither one could have foreseen the peril they would have to live through first. A tale of renewed dreams, of sensual adventure and the intriguing mysteries of two men falling in love, A Song in the Park is a celebration of human diversity and a discovery that it's the simple things in life that matter. Though essentially unchanged, it is a revision of the original addition published in 2005. |
