The internationally eclectic, Kim Sam Soon aka Sandra PINEL, was born December 24, 1980, in Alsace French in the border of Well am Rhein, Germany and Basel, Switzerland. Her father has distinct French ancestry. 

When she was younger, she discovered that she was dyslexic. Through this, Sam suffered from her schoolmates and others in society, who maligned her. However, not to one iota, did she allow for their ridicule to slow her down. Not for a second. Instead, she became enthralled in gymnastics and playing the organ, both, of each, she maintained a regimen of practice and productivity for over 12 years. She also began to travel, lived, and studied extensively to exotic destinations, such as: Korea, Japan, Taiwan, US, UK, Vietnam, Germany, Switzerland, Nepal, Italy, Spain,  Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. These experiences helped to shape her and allowed for her to develop a unique perspective, as an author.
