The Sand Dollarby Maggie Christensen
What a delight to have Maggie back to talk about her next book!
1 - The Sand Dollar is the first book in the Oregon Coast Series. I fell in love with Oregon when we travelled there two years ago. What's your fascination with the US State?
My mother-in-law moved from California to Florence, Oregon in her mid-eighties. Sadly she passed away last year a few months after celebrating her 100th birthday. Over the years we visited her many times and I fell in...

Review: Lee Child "Gone Tomorrow" (Jack Reacher #13) ~~ #JackReacher #Review
