Shortly after moving to Maine in 2002, Josh Pahigian took a part-time job with the Old Orchard Beach Recreation Department. That jog lasted just as long enough to for Josh to fall in love with the town and its residents and helped give him a special insight into seaside community’s inner workings. It is his ongoing affection for the well-known seaside resort community that has prompted him to use the town as the backdrop for his first novel, Strangers on the Beach.
