A Young Man and an Unforgettable Girl…

Every young man remembers his first love. But for Colin Keogh, finding the girl of his dreams will draw him into an amazing journey that he could never have imagined. Traveling to La Jolla, California to seek fame and fortune was already an adventure—but then on a stormy night, he sees a beautiful girl sitting on a rock, illuminated by moonglow, surrounded by seals. As he watches her, he is noticed by the seals, who are guarding their precious friend: she is a mermaid. Colin is fascinated by her, and his first thought is to catch her, and make his fortune by exhibiting her in a circus. But as he watches her night after night, his heart and soul melt, and he falls in love with her. As their romance blossoms, he realizes that he can’t possibly make her his captive…and yet, she has been captured by love. When Colin stops coming to see her, she and her seals go in search of her lost love, in this wistful, beautiful modern fairy tale. The Mermaid of La Jolla is a beautiful story that is sure to be a favorite with readers of all ages. Portions of the proceeds of this book are being donated to the Town of La Jolla and to the protection of La Jolla’s seals that continue to watch over the Mermaid of LaJolla.
