deep below the ocean

Since rhetoric is used to give conviction to both truth and falsehood, who could dare to maintain that truth, which depends on us for its defence, should stand unarmed in the fight against falsehood? This would mean that those who are trying to give conviction to their falsehoods would know how to use an introduction to make their listeners favourable, interested, and receptive, while we would not; that they would expound falsehoods in descriptions that are succinct, lucid, and convincing, while we would expound the truth in such a way as to bore our listeners, cloud their understanding, and stifle their desire to believe;that they would assail the truth and advocate falsehood with fallacious arguments, while we would be too feeble either to defend what is true or refute what is false; that they, pushing and propelling their listeners’ minds towards error, would speak so as to inspire fear, sadness, and elation, and issue passionate exhortations, while we, in the name of truth, can only idle along sounding dull and indifferent. Who could be so senseless as to find this sensible? No; oratorical ability, so effective a resource to commend either right or wrong, is available to both sides; why then is it not acquired by good and zealous Christians to fight for the truth, if the wicked employ it in the service of iniquity and error, to achieve their perverse and futile purposes?- St. Augustine, On Christian Teaching

Amongst the plethora of crime mysteries, political thrillers, and romance books, the literary market is hungry for a dose of something different . . .

In a culture where mortal heroes and self-sacrifice are rarities, the compelling themes and characters of Deep Below the Ocean stand out against those of today's typical novel.

The book is unique in that it combines the elements of an epic tragedy with an intimate and suspenseful undertone.

The language and style uphold the standards of traditional literary fiction while still having the engaging and "page-turner" qualities of commercial fiction.

The novel is currently being adapted into a screenplay for a full-length feature film by Brighter Moon Productions www.brightermoon.com

Hurricanes.
Lethal sharks.
Perilous pirates.
Deserted islands.

A world where adventure and tragedy collide...

...where one man gives his life
to save the lives of those he loves.

An unforgettable tale that explores the heart of man,
human weakness, and the mysteries of death.

"...Justin Keith Morgan has written with the enduring magic

that should always surround the sea . . . in this tale, the magic of life

emanates from his clouds, penetrates the sea, and reveals a real treasure lying

below the ocean’s surface. That treasure, found in the truth of the human heart, is a

mystery of the human experience, buried, as are many of the greatest magical treasures,

deep below the ocean." -Bryan Nance Jr.
