For over three decades, the town of Dingle was graced with a lovely resident the whole world came to know. Though for 37 years, they wondered if this would be the year that he would go They dreaded that day and didn't know how they would react. The day they realized their beloved Fungie wasn't coming back. The famous dolphin named Fungie who put Dingle on the map, was now gone forever and there was no looking back. Everyone was sad and the author wanted to give Fungie's story a happier ending. So she re-wrote his ending, as a new adventurous beginning.

Autorenporträt
I studied studio art and graphic design at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, USA. After a long career in marketing and home decor' product design, I crossed the Atlantic Ocean to return to college at the age of 57. Always in love with Ireland, I chose to study Public Relations and Digital Marketing Communications. With the encouragement of my creative writing lecturer, Ciara, I found my purpose. From my home on the waters of Carlingford Lough, (pronounced 'lock' for my American friends), I heard stories of a curious new and rare, dolphin in the area and began to imagine where this dolphin came from. Always enthralled by the folklore, myths and legends in Ireland that include giants, I could imagine a story evolving I knew my grandkids would enjoy. And "Down by the Dock" was born. Then a friend mentioned the story of Fungie and after much research, "Finn's Friend Fungie" became a reality as well. Both books have been well received and we hope you enjoy them, too! Thank you, Finn and Fungie, for helping me discover my passion.
