About 'The Voice of Anton Bouchard'

As the city of Paris swelters in the grip of a summer heat wave, a serial killer dubbed "The Butcher Beast" stalks the dark streets of the great metropolis, dispatching his victims with increasing brutality and savagery. Author Brian L. Porter goes deep into the mind of multiple murderer Anton Bouchard, revealing the thoughts and the events that have shaped the life of that most heinous of society's misfits, the serial killer! This definitive collection of tales from the pen of the author includes a second tale of multiple murder in "Breathing to Death," and also takes the reader beneath the ocean, beyond the stars, and deep into the cellars of an English country mansion. Finally, we are treated to a four chapter preview of Porter's latest novel Under Mexican Skies. A truly remarkable journey through the mind of an extremely talented author!

Arcadia 22 heavy - Mayday! image of coverPRLog (Press Release)Mar 23, 2009 – Mythica Publishing are delighted to announce the release of Harry Porter's 'Arcadia 22 Heavy - Mayday!'  ISBN 978-1-907108 -01-3, a novellete length e-book aimed at a young (and not so young) adult readership.
Arcadia 22 Heavy - Mayday! is  a tale that's bound to thrill - Porter does not shy away from danger!

The story follows Captain Matthew Berwick as he takes charge of a Boeing 777 - 300 for the first time. Though an experienced pilot, he can't shake the feeling that something is going to go wrong. Everything starts off just fine, leading Matthew to wonder if it wasn't just a pre-flight bought of nerves that had caught him out.

Just as he is beginning to relax his worst fears are realised and what should have been a short night flight, looks like it could become a lot shorter!


Mythica's Graeme S Houston says, "It takes a certain skill to create the thrills, excitement and drama that Harry Porter is capable of weaving in a book of novellete length. The action is sustained from first to last page and those who enjoy their reading matter with a 'twist in the tale'  will love this terrific work!

'Arcadia 22 Heavy - Mayday' is currently available from http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/eBookDetails.asp?Boo ... and will be available from other retailers very soon.
