\nIt’s 1938 and women seeking a quick\, no-questions split from their husbands head to the “div orce capital of the world\,” Reno\, Nevada. There’s one catch: they have t o wait six weeks to become “residents.” Many of these wealthy\, soon-to-be divorcees flock to the Flying Leap\, a dude ranch that caters to their ev ery need.
\nTwenty-four-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale before his family lost everything in the Great Depression\; now he’s earning an h onest living as a ranch hand at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing g ood looks—“Cary Grant in cowboy boots”—Ward thinks he’s got the Flying Lea p’s clients all figured out. But two new guests are about to upend everyth ing he thinks he knows: Nina\, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back f or her third divorce\, and Emily\, whose bravest moment in life was leavin g her cheating husband back in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno.< /p>\n
A novel about divorce\, marriage\, and everything that comes in be tween (money\, class\, ambition\, and opportunity)\, Better Luck Next Time is a hilarious yet poignant examination of the ways friendship c an save us\, love can destroy us\, and the family we create can be stronge r than the family we come from.

had thoughts of writing a book\, let alone one on the paranormal. He was n
ot someone totally convinced of the existence of ghosts or spiritual haunt
ings-until he started working at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. After
twenty-two years working at the mansion\, he woke up one night with the i
dea of writing a book about the stories he has heard as well as his own ex
periences. Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills is a landmark exposé of eye
witness accounts detailing supernatural activity associated with this extr
aordinary location.

\nHaving been approached by many guests\, patrons\, and employees over the years\, Keith has heard it all. “Two tourists walked up to me and asked how they could get inside the mansion for the tour. When I told them the interior i s closed to the public one replied\, ‘Oh\, because we saw a man in period clothing staring out the window and we thought he was part of the tour.’” This marks just one encounter of 237 paranormal stories documented at Grey stone Mansion. Keith spent nearly three years researching the supernatural activity at the estate. With 86 interviews\, including guests of the park \, City staff\, police officers\, movie crew personnel\, and janitorial se rvices\, Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills promises you a riveting histo ry and ghostly encounters. For more than two decades\, the mystery surroun ding the strange events taking place in and around Greystone Mansion has b een suppressed\, ignored\, and disbelieved. Along with rare photographs an d intriguing details about the landscape and architecture\, Keith delves i nto the family of Ned and Lucy Doheny\, including the fateful murder/suici de on the night of February 16\, 1929\, and other unfortunate deaths that surround these enigmatic grounds that may have stoked the paranormal fire of activity. “People from all over the world come to visit this iconic loc ation. They want to peek behind the curtain and observe this ghostly estat e for themselves. Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills will allow them to d o just that.”
