Investigative journalist Alan Dexter is beset by a recurring nightmare, in which the woman he met and fell in love with a year previously in Romania, appears to him as a vampire, calling to him in the depths of night. Convinced that the dream is a plea for help from the beautiful Christina Radalu?, Dexter tries to contact her through her employer at the Romanian News Agency, only to hear that she has been missing for two months. He enlists the help of his long-time friend and fellow journalist Karen Bailey, and the two intrepid journalists board a flight to Bucharest, and begin a dramatic and at times terrifying search for the woman of his dreams. As they journey into the mountains of remote and legendary Transylvania Dexter and Karen must face not only the perils of a Romanian winter, but the terrifying and brutal reality that slowly unravels as they learn the truth surrounding the sudden disappearance of Christina.

The Voice Of Anton Bouchard - (By Kristina Dalton)

Mr. Porter carries through on the promise of his earlier works, delivering plot twists and elements of amazing imagination in a collection of stories that will entertain, provoke thought and satisfy. I recommend this as a refreshing read for both sci-fi fans and people like me who have not read much in that genre. It definitely has something for everyone. ~ Kristina Dalton author of Vampire's Lover, The King's Right, The Ring, Taken, Unleashed, Untold

The Voice Of Anton Bouchard - (By Martha A. Cheves)

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Ready to Enter the Twilight Zone, June 7, 2009

By     Martha A. Cheves (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (Link)

Short story "Red Sky in the Morning"... 'Prior to surfacing completely, the submarine's commander, Captain Simon Merrick had ordered the periscope raised, and he knew as soon as he put his eye to the scope that something wasn't right. Although the submarine's chronometer showed the time as eleven o'clock in the morning it appeared quite dark on the surface. There appeared to be an incredible red tinge to the outside world. While he tried to make some sense of what he saw his communications officer, Mike Regan had been trying without success, to make contact with the base at Rosyth.'

What Merrick and his crew didn't know as their submarine surfaced from the deep waters was that they were about to "Enter the Twilight Zone."

Enter the Twilight Zone yourself as you read "The Voice of Anton Bouchard" which will have you wondering why a serial killer suddenly stopped killing. Read "Breathing to Death" to see how and why women with medical problems are being killed. "The Sound of Silence" will have you traveling with a young lady, who after a wreck, is carried off to what could be nothing less than the castle of Dracula. These stories and many more that make up this book will carry you into the "Zone".

I'm delighted that Mythica have invited me to compile and edit a short story anthology to be published later this year. 'Another Time, Another Place' will comprise approximately 10 - 12 tales which must all be thrillers and should be based in the future, whether it be one year from now or a thousand years ahead of our time. In short as writers you are able to use your imagination to the full and if necessary create a world to house your characters and the events that overtake them.

The maximum word count for the anthology is 4,500 words and the closing date for sumissions is the 30th May 2009.Anyone who wishes to submit to this exciting new project should send the story and a short (100 word or less bio), in Word.doc format as an attachment (no zip files please), to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Juan Pablo Jalisco is a man who one might describe as a poet. Nothing more, nothing less. And so intertwined are these two facets of his soul that the man and the poet are inseperable. He is a man in love: love of his family and his friends, love of the world around him, and of course a love of all things Mexican! Poetry is his life and soul, and it enables and empowers him to explore and examine new thoughts and ideas, that he shares with all, exploring them with such divine artistry as to stop time with his words as the reader is pulled in to the wonder of the moment. 

 

Mythica publishing is delighted to announce that Juan Pablo Jalisco's charming collection of poetry from the magical land of the Aztecs is now available to buy.
