A Great Read and a Movie to Follow

Cheryl Bartlam DuBois, an ex-catamaran captain who owned a charter business on St Maarten, has written a novel about life in the Caribbean. West of the Equator: In Search of Paradise is set in St Maarten and the surrounding islands. It is a story of adventure, romance, humor, island lore, Zen and the art of sailing in the tropics. If you've ever dreamed of leaving it all behind and making a life in the Caribbean, don't miss this book! Film producers have already discovered this delightful tale, and filming is scheduled to begin in St Maarten this summer. Although casting is not yet final, discussions are in place with Keanu Reeves, Rick Fox, Timothy Dalton, Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow.

If you'll be in St Maarten on May 25, you can attend the book signing party at the Peg Leg Pub at Three Palms Plaza in Simpson Bay. Happy hour is 4:00 - 6:00 pm with cocktails and appetizers. The author will be present as well as the film producer Jeff Apple.
