From a new author (for me) from Madrid, Spain comes a thriller based on the Covid pandemic geared to adult readers.
“In this thrilling fiction novel, an as-yet unknown illness appears, shaking the pillars of our civilization. Attempts to contain it are unsuccessful and it's expanding uncontrollably.
Dr. Echegoyen appears to be the only person able to find a vaccine. His progress doesn't go unnoticed by certain influential sectors of society. Apparently, some people are feeling a bit too comfortable in the midst of the current global chaos and are seriously considering ending the scientist's life to safeguard their interests.
The doctor will be joined in this adventure by Marcus, a resourceful young man; Karen, an attractive renegade spy; and Ricky, an unpredictable hacker. The plot will run through countries as disparate as China, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States.
The exciting plot, containing suspense and intrigue, will be spiced with information to provide the reader with a better understanding of the exhilarating world of virology. Statistical data will be shared, as will curious accounts describing the great milestones of science in this field.”

A second mystery for adults by Jean de Blonay.
“Gautier Delcreuze has been found dead, hanging from a tree. According to the police, it's a simple suicide. For his brother David, however, that's simply impossible. Shortly before dying, Gautier wrote a text explaining that he was in danger and that people were after him, accusing him of stealing money and possessing compromising documents. He had ended the one-pager with the words: “I am not suicidal.” The police investigation may be over, but David's not ready to give up on his search for the truth. He'll go all the way, regardless of the danger.”
“Jean de Blonay has written a breathless thriller involving the Italian mafia and false leads, and containing a perfectly tied-up plot that keeps readers in suspense until the very last line.”

I have been very lucky that my first translator was Angela Fairbank and my last translator will be Angela Fairbank ... if she agrees! She already translated my two first books and she accepted to translate the third one. I will submit the fourth one to her when finished.”
The first reader: “Wow ... that was quite a roller coaster! Almost too good to be true in parts but nonetheless a terrific read and I enjoyed it from start to finish. I couldn't put it down this afternoon and, as a result, I haven't got much else done! Lots of twists and turns to the tale and I liked the way that at least two of the characters were able to find a better way in their lives and that this was recognised by others. The translation is excellent - well done Angela!” |

Helen looks around and sees an empty, dirty, and long-forgotten room. Small spiders have made it their place of residence, which is why they're observing the young woman with obvious interest from the comfort of their cobwebs. Helen, restless, fidgets in the growing gloom and that's when she realizes she's not alone....
With the murder of Aaron Fellon Smith, the doorman at Kobla Bar, Inspector Moore and his young police partner, Eddie, find themselves embroiled in an investigation full of surprises in which a past buried in oblivion is gradually revealed.
A longer mystery geared to older adolescent readers by A. P.

Four years earlier, a would-be philanthropic organization had approached him to participate in a large-scale project to manufacture a vaccine capable of curing several deadly diseases.

The author: “En lisant les dix pages test, j'ai tout de suite aimé le style d'Angela : elle a parfaitement adhéré au rythme du roman, au ton et à l'ambiance, au point que je lui ai confié sans hésiter la traduction de mon deuxième roman et lui proposerai, en toute confiance, la traduction du suivant. ”
“When I read the first ten test pages, I immediately liked Angela's style: she matched the rhythm, tone and mood of the novel perfectly and as a result I didn't hesitate in entrusting her with the translation of my second novel. And I will also ask her in complete confidence to translate the next one.”
One of the first readers of the English translation said: “I don't normally read thrillers but wow you are quite right it is a real page turner and I got more and more into it. Quite along the lines of James Bond in places with incredible events happening in rapid succession - all somewhat unlikely but making for a good read. I liked the character portrayal of Pierre and the cool way he handled things in a crisis - quite a player. There is an impressive amount of information on viruses, which of course is very topical and must have taken quite a lot of intensive research. Certainly a book for our times.”

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.
Can we fall in love due to a fake bet?
“Summer doesn't drool over Ifan G. Vaughan, the company heartthrob. He doesn't appear to be aware of her existence anyway. Summer is low-key and hates being the centre of attention, especially when it's for the wrong reason. But all it takes is one accident - one stupid accident - and the entire contents of Summer's mug of tea ends up on Ifan's shirt in front of the entire open space where she works. That's it. Now he knows who she is and not necessarily for the right reasons.”

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.”
“Chère Angela, Merci infiniment pour votre excellent travail. J'ai hâte d'avoir le livre traduit en mains propres.”
“Dear Angela, Thanks a million for your excellent work. I can't wait to get the translated book into my own hands.”
“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. |

Happy Road Trip to You by Sophie Rouzier is Romantic Comedy Chick Lit with a travel theme.
Who's never wanted to to receive a trip as a birthday present? If we were to ask French people what their dream destination for such a gift would be, without hesitating, they'd answer, the U.S.A. With one exception: Louis. This strapping young man with the vocabulary of a young lord of the manor, but a geek on the edges, who prefers numbers and his apartment to his fellow humans, is certainly happy about the trip, but manages to restrain his eagerness.
His girlfriend, Chantal, of Nepalese origin, is organized yet shy, and always hides in the shadows. She thought she'd make him happy by planning a vacation. The highlights? Silicon Valley, then San Diego, and a very special event: Comic-Con. If every religious believer has their place of pilgrimage, then superhero fans also have theirs. It's here at Comic-Con where the stars of action movies and series meet their costumed fans from all over the world.
Well, that was the plan anyway. Unfortunately, there was a tiny mistake with the reservations. Right Chantal?
Forced to change plans, our lovebirds end up visiting all the symbolic places of the American West, while at the same time find themselves far outside their comfort zone. Due to some unexpected and surprising encounters, our heroes will discover a whole new section of American culture, and in so doing, will break some clichés and confirm many others.
Two things are certain: 1) during this trip Chantal and Louis will make good use of their superhero costumes, and 2) they'll never ever go on a road trip together again. The U.S.A. won't want them back either! Too much adventure kills the sense of adventure.

One day, however, she sees her on TV helping victims of the Nepalese earthquake. What an electric shock! Against all expectations, Chantal decides to fly to her country of origin and look for her. She ditches Louis, her lover, and her tidy life, and escapes her comfort zone.

This trip will wake her up and she'll surprise you.
