Cetacea, a novel from writer Theresa Foley, has been released by Sea Story Press. The novel is the story of a mysterious series of deaths that occur in the beautiful waters off of Key West, and the trio of locals - an adventurous woman who captains a dive boat, her tarot-card reading psychic roommate and an ex-Navy SEAL turned Duval St. bartender - who set out to solve the mystery behind the killings. Blame falls on a majestic dolphin, and while the town is up in arms trying to either get the dolphin or hush things up, Captain Mattie Gold takes it upon herself to find out what is really go on out there beyond the reef. 
Cetacea has been praised as "a fabulous debut by an exciting new author," by author Peter Shann Ford. "A ripping first novel, with a legendary, lethal, lonely hero whose stunning secret spans time, oceans and the essence of life. Theresa Foley writes with passion and vivid authenticity about deep sea diving, danger, dolphins and love." 
Rosalind Brackenbury, the well known Key West writer whose work includes Seas Outside the Reef and Circus at the End of the World, comments: "Theresa Foley has written a whodunit, a fast-paced story with a passionate plea at its core for the integrity of the natural world. The fate of the misused dolphin underlies the intrigues of the human characters, and one of the strongest voices in the book belongs to the mammal which thinks and feels as we do, but without the selfishness and greed." 
Cetacea is written in the tradition of new South Florida fiction, with Ms. Foley now claiming a place in the genre of highly popular writers that includes Carl Hiaasen, Laurence Shames, Les Standiford, and Elmore Leonard. Cetacea manages to blend local color and environmental issues with humor and good writing. This book will appeal to a wide audience, ranging from the reader who is looking for a good escape book as part of the vacation entertainment on the beach, to those who are concerned about humankind's impact on the sea and its wildlife, to anyone who embraces the idea that humans are mystically connected to all other life on the planet.

Short Stories & Anthologies

Maddy, Blue, and Beta, three dolphins resigned to a listless life trapped inside an enclosed lagoon in the Florida Keys, are suddenly presented with an easy path to freedom in the open ocean. Maddy, captive for over thirty years, remembers swimming alongside and learning from her mother until humans separated her from her dolphin family. Blue and Beta were born in captivity and have never known the open seas. The two young dolphins embark on their new adventure with excitement. However, Maddy contends with doubts as to whether she can remember the open ocean survival skills she learned years ago but that have atrophied. Moreover, she wonders if she can be a good guardian of her enthusiastic young companions. Together, they explore the freedom, responsibility, and risks of swimming wild in the open waters of their native environment. Follow Maddy, Blue, and Beta in their adventures as they encounter marauding rogue dolphins, fend off sharks, travel with pods of pilot whales, get caught in the swirl of a hurricane, and face the best and worst of humanity as they seek a new family and a new home. Foreword by Ric O Barry, author of Behind the Dolphin Smile and To Free A Dolphin, and featured in the award winning documentary The Cove.
