title: The Abalone Shell (Sea Glass Cove) (Volume 1)
author:  Maren Ferguson 
description: Maren Ferguson is the sweet alter ego of USA TODAY bestselling author Suzie OConnell, who is best known for the Northstar romances. <br /><br /> Though she is a self-professed mountain-loving nerd, she has a fair amount of salt water in her veins, courtesy of her salty dog grandfather, and once in a while, she gets to craving the crashing ocean surf. It was during one of these episodes that the Sea Glass Cove series was conceived. <br /><br /> Suzie has been writing stories for as long as she can remember, and it shouldnt come as any surprise that her first story, written (and illustrated) way back in second grade, was about the mouse who went to the sea. <br /><br /> When she isnt writing, youll probably find her in the mountains with a camera in hand and enjoying the beauty of Montana with her husband Mark, their daughter Maddie, and their golden retriever Reilly. You might even find heron her rare trips to the coastgetting in touch with her inner pirate. Just kidding. Sort of. <br /><br /> To find out more about Maren and her books, stop by marenferguson.com
