YOUR BOOK BEGINNING



MY BOOK BEGINNING



Duct tape had sealed the mouths of the three men.

-- The Other Oregon by Steve Anderson. Well, that's a beginning to get your attention!

With this latest novel, Anderson takes a break from his favorite WWII material to give his readers a creepy, atmospheric thriller set in the Pacific Northwest.

The Other Oregon comes out on May 19 and is available for pre-order from Powell's or amazon.

  5. I wondered, by the title, if the book was going to be a nonfiction look at Eastern Oregon, a part of the state that few folks out of state would recognize as part of the wet state. I guess not.
