Wild and charming! If you've not yet been exposed to the humor
of Miss Mermaid, then you're in for a treat! This wild and wacky
selection of her tales from the Caribbean will have you rolling on
the floor laughing! Meet a host of unique, intriguing characters...
Jungle Jim who advertises outings with his "Charter the
Derelict!" cards... Da-Fema-Mon, flummoxed by islanders' lack of
addresses, house numbers, shoes, and other hilarious
irregularities, finally gives up and goes total island bonkers...
Grace Klutz, a wild and wacky import... and numerous other
delightful, colorful folks who bring you miles of smiles... Well, as
the author says, "Mon, d'is island life be something different!"
And so it is! For a fun read, with a dose of bawdiness and
badness, take a sip of Miss Mermaid's little island masterpiece.
You won't regret it!****__Linda P.
Miss Mermaid's stories in "Hurricanes and Hangovers" are
humorous but honest accounts of island life. Her writing is
entertaining - the laugh out loud type of humor that have fans
waiting for her next book. Fortunately we can get small doses of
Miss Mermaids wit and humor from her daily (Elec-Tricky
Permitting) blog either at missmermaid.com or on the Tortola
page of stormcarib.com. Buy 2 - This book makes a great gift!

We stumbled on the elusive Miss Mermaid while planning for a
first visit to Tortola and researching weather and
accommodations. Sailing friends had piqued our interest in
visiting the island through their own description of their
adventures both ashore and at sea. Our Caribbean visits are few
and unfortunately far between so a mistake is a real downer.
Miss Mermaid's daily (well, almost, subject to the hard working
employees of the island's Elec-Ticky company) blog confirmed
our choice and the only question now is how soon can we return.
Not soon enough, but Hurricanes and Hangovers is the next best
thing to bring us back vicariously to life in the BVI's lovely
environment. Written with humor, insight, intelligence and
sensitivity, anyone who has visited these islands, or would like to,
will enjoy this book.****__Tortola Envy Mar 21, 2009

Dear Miss Mermaid began as an island
correspondent for StormCarib.Com
(Tortola BVI page) and was writing daily
posts for them long before the word "blog"
was even invented.
Her humorous takes on island life quickly
made her daily postings a popular read for
folks around the world.
Her first book was a limited edition
Cookbook "Fine Fare with Flair" which
included funny anecdotes and stories, right
in the middle of recipes. Proceeds from
that book were used to rebuild her
hurricane ravaged sailboat. Readers
encouraged her to keep writing.
Eventually she wrote "Hurricanes and
Hangovers (and other tall tales and loose
lies from the coconut telegraph)" where
names have been changed to protect the
guilty!
She is currently working on three more
books, and resides in the Caribbean with
her cats, who sometimes have to step in to
write her daily posts and blogs when she is
unwell or busy.
Recently, tragedy landed her in the
hospital and someone brought her laptop
for her to use since the ceiling she was
staring at had such poor graphics. She
began writing a hospital blog, that was
both honest and hilarious at times.
