[Tex/LaTex] Is it possible to add text underneath a part’s title

partsreportsectioningtext manipulation

In a LaTeX report I'm working on, I have used \part{title of part} to organise the chapters into parts.

This gives me distinct pages for each \part specified which is what I want. But if I try to add text beneath the part's title, it is printed on the next page.

Is it possible to place text on the \part page directly under the title of the part?

Thanks Christian. The part pages now look something like what you see below with text added. The only other thing will be to try to move the text up a bit.

There seems to be a \newpage at the end of part command, which has to be kicked out, by relaxing it temporarily, in a group. 

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{blindtext}


\makeatletter

\let\LaTeXStandardPart\part%
\newcommand{\unstarredpart@@noopt}[1]{%
  \unstarredpart@@opt[#1]{#1}%
}%

\newcommand{\unstarredpart@@opt}[2][]{%
  \cleardoublepage% (For clearing content before!!!)
  \begingroup%
  \let\newpage\relax%
  \LaTeXStandardPart[#1]{#2}%
  \endgroup%
}%

\newcommand{\starredpart}[1]{%
  \LaTeXStandardPart*{#1}%
}%

\newcommand{\unstarredpart}{%
  \@ifnextchar[{\unstarredpart@@opt}{\unstarredpart@@noopt}%
}%

\renewcommand{\part}{%
  \@ifstar{\starredpart}{\unstarredpart}%
}%

\begin{document}

\part{Some part}%
\blindtext[10]

\chapter{First chapter}

\section{First section}%

\blindtext

\part{Other part}
\chapter{Other chapter}%

\end{document}
