"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!

One halloween the US Navy would like to forget, played a terrible trick on LIEUTENANT DAVID PORTER, in 1803. He, along with 306 other shipmates aboard the 38-gun frigate USS Philedelphia, including Captain William Bainbridge, were caught by pirates at Tripoli It took guile and courage to free them from their 18-month slavery in the grip of a murdurous, despotic Pasha, and a renegade Scot-turned-Turk pirate. Plus the politicing of a President, Emporer and Pope. It also introduced the United States Marine Corps onto the world stage of battle and bravery. A handful of leathernecks with a raggle-taggle army of camel-drivers and mercenaries, under determined leadership, routed the best the Barbary Coast Pirates could muster. They helped free their comrades, after they marched across a desert, quelled mutinies and meted out frontier justice.

The unexpected arrival of America, the most famous yacht in the world, in a Florida backwater creek, imperiled the lives of all within the Confederate community. One false move could bring the wrath of a Union gunboat upon the residents of Walaka. Only the firm leadership of a cavalry captain and plantation owner over his unruly riders, saved lives on both sides of the conflict which tore families apart.
