ENTER THE REALM OF MIRACLES...
Oceanus is a story about soulmates sharing love and life in the sea. The novel begins when a diver named David experiences a devastating accident. His misfortune carries him into a unique love affair with a mermaid named Coral.

Together, the unforgettable couple teaches their young mermaid daughter, Jasmine, all about the current state of our oceans and the precious marine life living in it. David fears that without the improved health of the oceans, both Jasmine and Coral's chances for survival are dim.

David introduces Jasmine to his marine friends, Noah (a sea turtle), Joshua (a dolphin), and Pete (a pelican). When Coral’s health fails, they must undertake a perilous journey from California to Bora Bora to find a remedy that will heal her.

David and his mates encounter a life-threatening storm on their route, but even worse are the dangerous pirates that attempt to steal their ship. Their journey is further threatened by wicked poachers who kidnap the mermaids with intentions of selling them on the black market.

Will David be able to conquer the terrors that face him in order to rescue his family and return home? Order the book and find out!

You and your children depend on a healthy ocean. The ocean is the mother of all life, and produces over 50% of the oxygen for your blue planet.

 “Wow, what a beautiful book... I Love It!” – Dr. Wayne Dyer.

David – the lionhearted diver who falls in love with a mermaid and fights to help her and her friends from the ravages of toxic marine debris that now threaten our seas
Coral – the beautiful and fragile mermaid who captures David’s heart
