Murder- Mystery talks about Gay Marriage

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Antonio, Texas, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) October 3, 2011 --

At the forefront of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' Myles' books ask timely questions that are deep in the middle of the gay-marriage/civil union argument. He attacks the issue resonating with a mixture of Patricia Nell Warren's 70s iconoclastic book, 'The Front Runner,' and Proulx's short story 'Brokeback Mountain.' Katharine Hepburn wrote that the book was "interesting and provocative." It's a larger than life statement that puts his characters in the crosshairs of some established power brokers.

Set in Chicago during the 1990s. This is a love story about two men who set the city on notice! Clinton is president. Chicago politics is as corrupt as ever. This is the backdrop for Myles' trilogy.

Ahead of its time, as one of the characters states "You can't legislate love." Myles' creates characters that are memorable, passionate and stay with you, even after you close the book. The story invades your space. It goes for the jugular and makes you wonder why someone would kill someone just because of who they love. He rocks your understanding of today's gay culture as the characters compel you to think while helping to solidify an understanding with your partner that a society that marginalizes love it can't understand marginalizes itself. Jon and Mieko show you how to get to a place to handle change because their love was an instrument of change, before it was shattered.

One reviewer on Amazon called it "A page-turner...I couldn't stop reading after a couple of chapters. I was too caught up in plot and character; almost ...like a movie score. My heartbeat picked up speed as I read ever closer to the books' final pages...fuller and more nuanced--like a snowball picking up speed, girth and detritus rolling down a mountain. Myles manages to 'normalize ' the legitimacy of same-sex relationships so deftly...the humanity underscoring the development of this theme puts the trilogy on the list of possibilities for a great Christmas present for suspense-loving parents struggling to meld ideas of another era with realities of today's world." Another wrote " It's a good read and a great conversation piece as he hits hard on civil unions, marriage, and gay rights.

This book is about love. This book is about hate. More than anything else, this book is about making a change and understanding that people are people, no matter who they love. You get caught up in the characters and find out it's about getting them to understand people who are not like them. This murder mystery trilogy is destined to be more than casual conversation at clubs, dinner tables, even in courts and college classrooms, as these two men take on the Chicago establishment. A South Carolina college class looking at the social arguments concerning gay marriages uses it. The characters here are Goliath killers who feel the time has come to stop the hypocrisy of loving the sinner and hating the sin. Will they win? Get the book and find out. You won’t be disappointed! You simply cannot put it down.
