*Breelan Dunnigan: "Writing articles for our
Florida Mirror is something I used to do quite often when I was a cub reporter. I believe, in your time, you now call our local paper
The News-Leader. I'm currently working advertising for our family business,
Aqua Verdi Passenger Line, but still submit a story to the
Mirror when I can. The last article they printed was about my brother, Pat Dunnigan, and the other boys in our family who have gone off to fight for our country in the Spanish American War. We pray for them every day. Jane Marie will tell you all about their trials in her next book,
Mark of a Man. Until that time, know we keep a candle in our window at Dunnigan Manor in hopes Pat, Warren Lowell and Mickey will be safe and home soon."
* Breelan Dunnigan is featured in The Goodbye Lie, the title novel in Amelia Island's Goodbye Lie Trilogy set in Fernandina on Amelia Island, Florida in 1882. Mark of a Man follows Amelia Island's Velvet Undertow in he series.
