“Sometimes you need someone outside of your family and friends to tell you, ‘This part doesn't make sense,' or ‘Try it this way.' That honest feedback is what makes your writing stronger.” – Christine Devane Christine Devane spent 13 years as a second-grade teacher, where she fell in love with story time and noticed something missing on the shelves—books that spoke directly to shy children. Drawing from her own childhood experiences as a quiet kid, Christine set out to write Elephant Beach, a debut picture book that blends her love of reading, teaching, family, and her collection of lucky elephants. In this episode, Christine shares how her journey from the classroom to becoming a children's author unfolded—starting over a decade ago, taking her through critique groups and writing conferences, and eventually leading to publication in a wonderfully unexpected way. We talk about the importance of writing communities, the challenge of finding objective feedback, and the personal touch of including a red-haired main character, inspired by Christine's own childhood (and later reflected in her daughter). Key Takeaways: Filling a gap for shy kids: Christine saw that children's literature rarely centered shy personalities, inspiring her to write Elephant Beach. The long road to publication: She began the manuscript ten years ago, honing it through critique groups, conferences, and classes before it was finally picked up. The power of writing communities: Honest, constructive feedback from fellow writers gave her perspectives friends and family couldn't. Personal touches matter: Giving her main character red hair made the story authentic—and later mirrored in her own daughter. Persistence pays off: Even after stepping away from teaching and focusing on her family, the story found its way into the world.

Galway are out of the All-Ireland senior ladies football championship after a heartbreaking semi-final defeat to Dublin in Glenfisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore on Saturday night (19th July 2025). In an enthralling encounter, a Hannah Tyrrell first-half penalty kept Dublin in the hunt, but Andrea Trill, with her first kick of the game, looked to have scored the match winner in normal time, only for Tyrrell to equalise at 0-13 to 1-10 and force extra-time. The Leinster champions edged in front before two second-period goals from Carla Rowe and Kate Sullivan put nine points between them. However, Galway refused to concede as Trill and Olivia Divilly scored late Galway goals, but time eventually ran out. Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Tommy Devane and Katelyn Hayes.

Among the climbers is Sean (Marc Hills), whose grandfather made an ill-fated attempt 63 years earlier. During the group's ascent, they come face to face with a malevolent force that quickly turns their expedition into a harrowing battle for survival hundreds of feet above the ground.This is really a great example of doing more with less as it uses sound design and the idea of isolation and makes it a chilling ride.We talked with writer/director Brendan Devane about the origins of the story and so very much more....

Christine Devane is a former elementary school teacher with a new children's book entitled, Elephant Beach. The story revolves around a shy girl who just wants to read her book while at the beach and a nearby playful group of elephants with other ideas. Devane hopes that introverted kids can learn to try new experiences and that extraverted children can be patient with those who may need a little more encouragement to participate in new activities or to make new friends. Also, Dr. Jason Bruck returns to discuss unfolding events in the Mexico legislature this past week. A bill likely to pass the Senate would prohibit all breeding of marine mammals in human care. Dr. Bruck debunks this poor policy-making based upon widespread false narratives about the well-being of animals in zoological facilities and the myth of sea pen sanctuaries. Animal Care Software

William Rufus DeVane King was born on April 7, 1786, in Sampson County, North Carolina. His ancestry reached back to some of the earliest European settlers in the Southern colonies. His father, William King, was of Irish descent, with ancestors believed to have emigrated from Ulster to the American colonies in the early 1700s. The King family settled in North Carolina, became landowners, and took part in the political and agricultural life of the region. His grandfather, also named William King, is believed to have fought in the colonial militia during the French and Indian War. William's mother, Margaret DeVane, belonged to a family of French Huguenot and English lineage. The DeVanes had settled in the Carolinas in the early 18th century, escaping religious persecution and bringing with them traditions of independence and agricultural skill. Margaret's father, John DeVane, was a planter and a patriot during the American Revolution. The King and DeVane families were both known for civic involvement, and together, they provided a strong foundation of wealth, status, and public service that would influence William's future path.

Galway have made two changes from their league final defeat for Saturday's Glen Dimplex All-Ireland championship opener against Dublin (24th May 2025). Portumna's Alannah Kelly comes into the defence, while Shamrocks' Ally Hesnan is named in midfield. Leading up to the game, and before the monumental Special Congress that saw 98% of delegates vote to allow shorts or skorts to be worn in competitive action, Galway manager Cathal Murray spoke to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane. == This is an intriguing affair as Dublin have consistently pushed Galway to the wire in recent seasons. There was six points between them in Kilbeacanty last March but after starting with a draw against Tipperary, the Dubs failed to secure another positive result and were relegated from Division 1A of the League. Galway beat Cork in the final group game to book their place in the decider but never showed up, with the Rebels exacting swift and severe retribution with the silverware on the line. The lack of provincial games for the westerners has often led to a slow championship start for the Tribeswomen so Dublin will look to rattle them early but last year's All-Ireland finalists will be favoured to prevail. Throw-in at Kenny Park, Athenry on Saturday is 4pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

CAMOGIE: Galway senior manager Cathal Murray with Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane ahead of their National League encounter with Dublin
Galway play their second game in this year's Very National Camogie League on Saturday (1st March 2025) away to Waterford. Carrie Dolan and the evergreen Ailish O'Reilly came up with some important scores as Galway got the wraps off their season with a win down in UPMC Nowlan Park over Kilkenny. It's another away day for Cathal Murray's crew, and a first home tie for the Suirsiders and with both sides assimilating younger players into the panels and dealing with injuries, it should be an enlightening game. Having faced the All-Ireland champions, Cork in the opening round, Waterford must now take on the runners-up. Beth Carton remains their attacking talisman but the concession of early goals had them on the back foot. They showed good resolve in the second half, however, without ever looking like reeling in the Rebels. Galway senior manager Cathal Murray gave his thoughts to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane. == Throw-in at SETU Arena, Waterford on Saturday is 2pm.
Galway begin their Very National Camogie League campaign on Saturday (22nd February 2025) when they travel to Kilkenny in Division 1A.

Clarinbridge's Carrie Dolan was named as the new captain this week, while Mullagh's Aoife Donohue and Athenry's Dervla Higgins were named as vice-captains. Leading up to the game, Galway manager Cathal Murray has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane. == Throw-in at Dunmore GAA Training Centre, Kilkenny on Saturday is 2pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.
