E-book and Paperback Young Adult Mystery/Thriller: Helen's Nightmare Sold at: Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, Inscribe, Kobo, Scribd, Streetlib and Tolino Release Date: February 24, 2022 Author: A. P. Hernandez ISBN: 9798201708658 Language: English Locations: Not applicable |
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. 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.” |

E-book and Paperback Mystery: Retroviral Sold at: Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, Inscribe, Kobo, Scribd, Streetlib and Tolino Release Date: January 27, 2022 Author: Jean de Blonay ISBN: 9781667425078 Language: English Locations: Switzerland, Spain, Hong Kong, South Pacific, Thailand |
Geneva, June 2021. As a pandemic rages across the globe, Ornella Conti seeks to clarify the mystery behind the death of her husband, Michael. 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 couple had agreed to settle on the island where the top secret lab was to be built. However, the situation gets out of hand, and as she tries to shed light on the past, Ornella becomes the target of an evil conspiracy. In this captivating novel, the author subtly and intelligently summons current events that are at the heart of a turbulent plot where viruses, conspiracy and love form an explosive cocktail. |

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 did not hesitate to entrust 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. |

“Como siempre, ha hecho una traducción fantástica. Algunos ejemplos de ello son la traducción de “Durante toda la hora no se ha escuchado nada, salvo el sonido de los lápices al escribir en las libretas” a “The classroom has been quiet for a whole hour ... except for the scratch of pencils writing in notebooks.” Otro ejemplo de lo natural que se sienta para el público nativo es la traducción de “Los cuatro detectives miran al interior de las clases y la situación se repite. Ven niños tirándose de los pelos, pataleando en el suelo, llorando sobre sus pupitres o, simplemente, con la mirada perdida” a “The four detectives look inside each classroom and see that the situation is the same everywhere. Children are pulling their hair out, kicking on the floor, crying on their desks or simply staring ahead blankly.” ¡Mil gracias, Angela!” “As usual Angela has done a fantastic job with the translation. Thanks a million, Angela!” | ||||

E-book 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. | ||||
