Romance novel: It All Started on the Eve of Valentine's Day
Sold at: Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, Inscribe, Kobo, Scribd, Streetlib and Tolino
Release Date: July 8, 2021
Author: Jo Ann von Haff
ISBN: 9781667405278
Language: English
Location: Leeds, Yorkshire, United Kingdom |
|
A romance novel, one of a set of four stories involving four sisters and hence four romances that take place in Leeds, London and Paris. Each story is a stand-alone and can be read independently. This particular love story starts with a text message not intended for the recipient ... and well, I must admit, it does get a bit steamy towards the end! My challenge this time was its setting in Leeds, using British vocabulary and spelling and some choice Yorkshire expressions!

“It was wonderful working with Angela. Great insight, great advice, and most of all, great work. We discussed spellings (US or UK?), and idioms, and lingos. I love that one of my characters has the Yorkshire accent, and it's so real. I loved rereading my book in English, it's like discovering my story all over again. Thank you so much, Angela. :-) ” - Jo Ann von Haff
“I'm really impressed with your translation of this book, Angela! It's an engaging plot with a lot of interesting characters, and you did a great job capturing the tender family scenes and the steamier parts. Awesome translation and I'm interested in reading the other volumes from this author!” - Corinne McKay
“I really enjoyed Angela Fairbank's English translation of Jo Ann von Haff's erotic novel; the plot begins with a mis-sent text message, and really captures both the tender moments between Flora (the main character) and the other people in her life, and her budding romance with C, the author of the mis-sent message. This book is an engaging read, highly recommended!” |

“C'est la première fois que je fais traduire ce roman, Lovely Planète, que j'ai écrit il y a dix ans. Angela Fairbank a réussi à trouver le ton et le rythme de mon style. La traduction est à la fois très fidèle et bien adaptée. C'est un réel plaisir de relire ce livre en anglais, de retrouver mes personnages. La rapidité et l'efficacité d'Angela n'ont d'égale que son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse. Encore merci pour votre excellent travail.”
“I wrote this novel, “Lovely Planet,” ten years ago but this is the first time I've had it translated. Angela Fairbank managed to find the right tone and rhythm to reflect my style. The translation is both faithful to the original and well adapted. It's a real pleasure to reread this book in English and rediscover my characters. Angela's efficiency and speed are only equaled by her professionalism and kindness. Thank you once again for your excellent work.”
“Lovely Planet is a fun, light-hearted romp through several memorable cities that will give you the travel bug. Think Sex and the City meets Eat, Pray, Love. The translation reads smoothly and naturally, allowing you to enjoy the stories of these disparate characters. And uniting them all is the mysterious book of wisdom.” Review on Amazon. |

He also discovers the cemetery where she's buried as well as her photo, her name, Irene, and her age at death, twenty-two. A surreal connection takes place between him and the deceased, and an impossible love story is born. He begins to have feelings for her. After all, it's her heart beating in his chest. Things become complicated when he learns she has a twin sister living somewhere in Africa, working with an NGO as a nurse. He decides to leave his life behind and go in search of Irene's twin. Once he finds her, their love, tinged with drama and passion, is both powerful and fragile. These unusual ingredients combine to offer them an adventure full of torment involving both stormy and sunny weather. |

Currently in the midst of translating ... in their planned order of publication:
|
|
|
A detective mystery for readers aged 8 to 12, this is the second of a series and my fifth children's book translation for A.P. Hernandez from Murcia, Spain. |
|
|
Set in London, England, the second volume of the “Love in five seasons” series by Jo Ann von Haff concentrates on Summer, the youngest of the Demaria sisters, and her office romance in a very specialized computer company.
“Once again, it's a pleasure working with Angela! This is our second collab, and Angela is always careful sticking to my characters, going beyond when needed, working around US/UK spellings and idioms. Thank you for your enthusiasm, Angela. It means a lot!” |
|
|
A mystery for adults based on the Coronavirus epidemic set in Switzerland, France, Spain, Thailand, Hong Kong and a mystery island somewhere in the South Pacific. The author is a French Swiss medical professional. “In this captivating novel, [the author] subtly and intelligently summons current events at the heart of a turbulent plot where viruses, conspiracy and love form an explosive cocktail.” |
 |
|
A longer mystery geared to older adolescent readers by A.P. Hernandez, Amazon reviews of its Spanish version include phrases like these (and I am translating from the Spanish) “The story captives immediately ... very realistic ... well-defined characters ... the action and suspense are very well written. You are transported ... Your heart will beat a hundred miles an hour and won't let up until the very last page.” |
|
|
A second mystery for adults based on the Coronavirus epidemic by the same French Swiss medical professional as above. “A breathless thriller involving the Italian mafia and false leads and containing a perfectly tied-up plot that holds readers in suspense until the very last line.” |
