As some of you know, I’m doing a lot of literary translation, from English into French, my native language, working especially right now on a series by Tanya Anne Crosby.

Here is the last book I translated, just released 5 days ago: a short prequel. It’s full of suspense, and after that you will absolutely want to read the books in that series.
So I have a few nice deals for you:

First you can get this book for free right now. I am giving you the links to amazon.com and amazon.fr, but it is also on amazon.co.uk and other places. Both editions, in French (my translation) and English, are free right now

Griperang’s Bookmarks

Even though it does read fast it is packed with plenty of adventure. I liked that there was not only mystery but some romance and history as well.
If you are a fan of cozy mysteries you will enjoy this book.
