I know that I have read some suggestions for books that have been written with the backdrop of St. Maarten. I did keep a list but I can't seem to find it and I would like to start my library for May when I will be there for the month.
Can anyone help? Thank you

There's also "St. Maarten stories" book 1 & 2 available at amazon. I haven't read these yet.
Happy reading.

Going back a bit further, there are books written by a New York writer, I can't think of the name right now, who used to stay on SXM decades ago. The stories i remember were simple murder mysteries, nothing too elaborate, BUT, were set amongst all the beaches, towns and restaurants as they existed at the time and were sold in a charming little store on the French side called Pierre Lapin.

Can anyone help? Thank you Val�rie LIEKO, a doctor who lives on St. M has recently written two books. The first Chass�-Crois� is now available in English (I read it in French ... more St. M action than Parisian). I'm not sure if her other one La Dame de C�ur (Black Jack Cara�be) is available in English.

Also Wet Feet by B.D. Anderson, and Happy Bay, Cole Bay Band and Sandy Ground, by T. Selma.
Oops, sorry, I see Jeepers already mentioned the T Selma books.

For those who want the english version (called Hide and Seek, Paris-SXM), here's a link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/hide-and-seek-paris-sxm/id1074413888?mt=11

Is it "T. Selma" or "T. Stelma"? Library today could not find anything under "T. Stelma".

Sorry, it is Stelma. I mis-spelled it. Available on Amazon I doubt most libraries would have the books.

I haven't read it myself, but it could be Gone Bamboo by Anthony Bourdain, who is now more famous as a TV chef and travelogue host on CNN.

Thank you so much so those gift cards at Amazon will be gone and now I will have enough reading material about my Happy Place to keep me happy for the month of May. I think the place I want to explore is The Beach Less Traveled. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cool.gif" alt="" />
