"Palm Beach Scandals - An Intimate Guide" was introduced to inquiring minds via the Joan Rivers Show shortly after publication, Nov. 16, 1993. It was Banned at the Breakers, Forbidden at the Flagler and Nixed at the Norton (gift shops). It has been out-of-print and only available online for a decade at prices ranging from $1.00 to $159! Now it is accessible to all via digital versions and now, via Create Space, it is back in print. The British author was a journalist in the Palm Beaches for three decades. He had access to stories from characters both Up-Stairs and Down-Stairs. Owen has meet many of the contemporary subjects written about, including Donald Trump at his Mar a Lago oceanfront home and club where he has wined and dined. Its a romp through rumours and records which circulated in newsprint and cocktail conversation - to this day. The rich little island was making headlines long before its latest international villain - Bernie Madoff - plunged so many into financial depression. Bernie wasn't the first blackguard and, based on events in Palm Beach Scandals, is not likely to be the last!
