One for the books

POPULAR Sunshine Coast author Maggie Christensen will launch her third novel on the footpath at Annie’s Books on Peregian on Thursday 21 May, from 6pm.
The book titled The Dreamcatcher is the second in her Oregon Coast Series and is a sequel to The Sand Dollar which was launched to critical acclaim at the Noosaville Library earlier this year.
Both stories are mature women’s fiction and are set in the tiny but fascinating town of Florence, Oregon.
A former lecturer at Charles Sturt University, Maggie was inspired to set her novels on the Oregon Coast after many visits to her Oregon-based mother-in-law.
A third book in the series is currently being plotted and is expected to be on bookshop shelves in 2016.
“I write about the relationships that develop between more mature people and how their lives are changed and enriched by unexpected events and chance meetings,” Maggie said. “My target audience is baby-boomers and above.”
Maggie will launch her latest novel at Annie’s Books on Peregian, 8 Kingfisher Drive, Peregian Beach, with cheese and wine available on the night.
