Advance praise for Ladies of the Canyon...“Rarely and not at all in recent memory have I encountered a debut novel as polished and powerful and sure-footed as Douglas Wood’s Ladies of the Canyon. Filled with compelling and wild-at-heart characters, clear-eyed observations about life’s precarious road and set against a world at once alluring and dangerous, this is a winner in every conceivable way.”
— Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune “Not since Carrie Fisher's Postcards from the Edge has there been a sharper gaze into the toxic nature of child stardom and fame in Hollywood. Ladies of the Canyon is a riveting story of addiction among child stars idled by the dark side of Hollywood and human emotion. A whodunit with a nasty twist!” — Robert W. Walker, Dead on Instinct “Suspenseful and chilling. Wood explores the dark side of Hollywood with equal parts horror and wit.” — Anthony Lawrence, writer, The Twilight Zone |
“A scathing and scary Hollywood tale packed with more twists, turns and switchbacks than a rainy night on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. If you really want to know whatever happened to Baby Jane, read this book.”

“It didn’t take long for the characters in Douglas Wood’s Ladies of the Canyon to spring from his imagination into my reality. When I glance at TMZ or Access Hollywood, I catch myself hoping for a segment on Devon O’Keefe or Nikki Barnes, before remembering their lives of celebrity, second chances and disturbingly fierce determination are fictional. (One hopes!)”
