Currently in the midst of translating...

A novel about power, politics, religion and science in the future; a fight for global power, and the birth of new technology including an artificial deity. Originally written in Portuguese, I am translating its Spanish translation into English and the author then plans to turn my translation into an audio-book!
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 is its setting in Yorkshire. I will need to use British vocabulary and some choice Yorkshire expressions!
My first mystery - my favourite type of literature - for older adolescents. More will be revealed later as the plot thickens! However 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.”
