The experience also spurred her to take charge and pursue a life long dream of becoming a
stand-up comic. So, after ten years of being a St.Maartener, she reluctantly moved to
California. But as Kim says, “"I now carry paradise in my heart daily because I have lived on St.
Maarten. It will always be my home.”

When radio Laser 101’s mischievous morning man Bulldog discovered Kim was a budding
comedian, he invited her to perform in a fictitious comedy review. But Kim inadvertently turned
the tables on HIM. She explains,
“When Bulldog invited me to perform, there was nothing planned!!  When I accepted, he had
no choice but to put a show together. In my ignorance I made it happen!” The night was a huge
success.

In print or on stage, Kim is committed to continue to make people laugh at the worst that life
has to offer. This funny story has just begun.

and Fairy Tales

I was completely engulfed with reading this book. Once I started I could not put it down.
Reading this book was a rollercoaster of emotions both through rememberance of my own
experiences as well as seeing life through the eyes of Kim Samuels and her family. Her witty
approach and unabashed descriptions reflected the true spirit of life amongst hurricanes. Not
only could I identify with her emotions but when I finally did put down this book I was
refreshed in knowing I was not totally insane!

He's Just Not:
Dating Deal Breakers

by Kim Norris Samuels

Purchase Today:
Kim Norris Samuels is a
writer, author, comedienne
and entrepreneur. She grew
up in Queens, New York and
then lived in St. Maarten, in
the Caribbean, for 10 years.

 She now resides in
California and has lived there
for the past 10 years. While
working full time she
performed stand-up, had her
own home based business
making gift baskets and silk
flower arrangements. Yet her
passion remains in writing
and comedy.

 She has a 29 year old son
who now resides with her in
California.
     urricanes are a part of living in the Caribbean: It's just a fact of life. A category 5 hurricane
named Luis hit St. Maarten on September 4, 1995. It was an extremely powerful hurricane with
wind gusts of up to 200 MPH and tornado action within it. You would think that would be
enough to deal with but that of course, would have been too good to be true. Unbelievably,
another hurricane named Marilyn hit the island just 10 days later.

This book chronicles the escapades of the Samuels family from their preparations, through
the actual events and on to the aftermath. It also reveals for the first time things to do and not
to do that are not on the "hurricane preparedness" lists!

It will keep you on the edge of your seat as you share the fear, the unknown and a myriad of
emotions. Interwoven are flashbacks to happier times that the author tried to recapture to
keep her own sanity through it all. Come and take a roller coaster ride through another side of
paradise...
