April 15, 2012 - PRLog -- On this day, April 15, 2012 many are remembering the tragedy of the Titanic in their own way. Over 1500 people lost their lives when the 'floating palace' sank after striking an iceberg. Around the world there are cruises, dinners, memorial services, commemorative coins and stamps, mini-series, musicals and books pertaining to Titanic.  

For Canadian author Alexander Galant, his thriller novel Depth of Deception (A Titanic Murder Mystery) is only one of many books. "It's connected to - but not about - Titanic," said Galant about his fiction novel which is filled with mystery, suspense and possible time-travel.  

Depth of Deception is set in 1982, where a young woman is found floating on a wooden deck chair in the North Atlantic. She's unconscious, and wearing Edwardian clothing. Her only identification is a ticket for the Titanic. Is it a bizarre case of time-travel or an elaborate hoax?

Since today, April 15, 2012 is the centenary date, Galant had decided, "I want to honour the memory of those who perished on Titanic. We will donate a portion of the proceeds from (today's ) purchases of Depth of Deception to the Titanic Heritage Trust."

Titanic Heritage Trust is a registered international charitable trust dedicated to preserving artifacts and the memory of Titanic. "It's important to remember the past," Galant added. "And I hope to continue this tradition every year on the anniversary of Titanic, not just this one milestone." He also pointed out how he was surprised to see the recent news that many young people thought the Titanic story was only a film, and not a real happening. "What the Titanic Heritage Trust is doing is keeping the proof of this tragedy for future generations to see and appreciate."

Depth of Deception can be purchased as an e-book at an introductory rate of $0.99 from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007O3IKTY as well as in other e-book formats from Smashwords at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/144531.  

Alexander had hoped that the softcover version would be available in time but plans to include the hard copy sales on the 101st anniversary. For now he hopes many people will download the e-book version to make it worthwhile. Autographed copies of the e-book are available through the official website: http://www.DepthOfDeception.com which also contains a sample chapter, a synopsis, photos and a Bonus Feature page which includes a special 'Extras' section that can only be accessed if one has read the book and knows the password.
