I enjoy creating and spreading knowledgeable content for everyone around the world and try my best not to leave even the smallest of mistakes go unnoticed.
Malcolm J. Brenner (born 9 May 1951) is an American author, journalist, and zoophile. He is best known for his controversial novel Wet Goddess (2009), about a love affair between a college student and a bottlenose dolphin in the 1970s. As a journalist, he has covered local news in New Mexico and Florida since the early 1990s.
From 1992 to 1994, Brenner worked at the Farmington Daily Times. After termination, Brenner filed a federal lawsuit claiming that he had been terminated for practicing Wicca.
Wet Goddess
Since 2010, Brenner has gained international notoriety for his novel, Wet Goddess. The novel details several months in the life of fictional college student Zachary Zimmerman, in which the protagonist meets a dolphin named Ruby at a local theme park and falls in love with her. Brenner claims the book is autobiographical, and based on a series of events that happened to him in the 1970s. In an article in the Huffington Post, Brenner said, "I wrote this book for dolphins because we are mistreating these animals by keeping them in captivity."
Zoophile
Brenner claims to have had sex with a female dolphin in the 1970s, and is a zoophile activist.
