Penguin Invades Puget Sound
A new book, Fly Like a Penguin by Marty Love, a native of Bremerton, Wash., reveals how a penguin seen in Puget Sound could have gotten there.
BREMERTON, WA (PRWEB) August 6, 2004 --A penguin seen in Puget Sound in the
1960’s left a mystery in the mind of Bremerton native Marty
Love.
About 35 years ago as Love, a teenager at the time,
sat on the porch of his waterfront home, a penguin floated by on a log. Although
he knew penguins don’t belong in the Northern Hemisphere, he didn’t think much
about it until years later, and he never heard anything about how it got there.
After completing his journalism studies at the
University of Washington, Love moved to Appleton, Wisconsin, where he and his
wife, Cindy, proceeded to have six children. During these years, he remembered
the penguin and began to wonder how it could have gotten to Puget Sound. After
more than 15 years of research and writing in his spare time, Love has published
his book, Fly Like a Penguin, which follows the penguin’s long
journey.
Although the book is fiction, Love has
written it to be informative. He considers it an educational, humorous adventure
story. It would be classified as a children’s book for ages 8-12, but is
intended to be enjoyed by adults as well. Love, who has read many books to his
children, said it’s important to him that a book that might be read to a child
would be interesting to the parents as well.
Fly Like
a Penguin is published by Authorhouse and is available online at www.flylikeapenguin.com
and most online booksellers, or may be ordered at any local
bookstore.
