The Lion Hunt: My First Published Translation

Now available on Amazon Kindle:



If you like 19th century literature, especially fun action/adventure stories like Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers, and you're looking for other excellent but lesser known authors, you might be interested in checking out my English translation of Alfred Assollant's La Chasse aux Lions (The Lion Hunt). This is a wonderful short story (approximately 20,000 words) about two young soldiers in the 7th Light in Algiers, Dumanet and Pitou, who, more or less, fall into a rather dangerous situation while seeking renown in Africa. Written in an easy-to-read YA style, it's full of fun banter between the two friends and it's a fast-paced adventure.

I had a great time translating the story and the book includes both my English translation and the original French text, as well as some historical and language notes for students.

Thank you to anyone who gets a chance to check it out and I hope you like it as much as I did.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

About the book:
An unlikely duo meet in Play It Again, a story of love, life and faith. Sparks fly when an ex-rock and roll junkie and a stuffy accountant rendezvous at a local resort, but neither are prepared for the emotional entanglements, family complications, and threat from the past that unexpectedly resurfaces. Set in the 1980s, this story brings two opposing forces together in a clash of romance and danger, while its musical undertones highlight the theme that God can turn anything into beautiful music. Play It Again is the much anticipated prequel to Tracy’s debut novel And the Beat Goes On. Find out where Mark Graham’s journey began in this, the story of his parents.

What others are saying about PLAY IT AGAIN:
“This is one of the best contemporary novels I've read all year. . . Not only was it well-written, but it was edgy in that the story dared to be honest. . . I can see this touching a lot of people who have thought about God but have been afraid to move forward.”
- Michelle Sutton, author of more than a dozen inspirational novels

Two Days, Two Fantastic Books: Darkspell and Lonely Hearts Book Launches

Today and tomorrow, November 1 and November 2, visit Novel Launch for the chance to win copies of two fantastic new releases from TreasureLine Publishing: Darkspell by Elizabeth Mueller and Lonely Hearts by Amanda Stephan.


Winter Sky believes she is everything ordinary ... until she is kissed by Alex Stormhold. As seer of Stormhold Coven, Alex is sworn to be Winter's protector against the darkness that hunts her. Violently thrust into a magical realm she always thought impossible, she stumbles upon a disturbing secret of her own. Will love prove thicker than magic? Included in this volume are author-created illustrations that bestselling author Ellen C. Maze calls a mind blowing treat. Darkspell is classified as a Young Adult Paranormal Romance that will appeal beyond the genre.

 

 

 


One lonely mother. Two matchmaking kids. Three eligible bachelors, and some very yummy apple pie!
When widow Becky Callis moves to a new town, her intentions were to start over in a place where she's not reminded of her dead husband. Her kids, however, take it as a chance to help her start over romantically. They soon realize it's easier to find someone to like their mother than it is to figure out which man is best for her.
To the delight of both kids, young and handsome cowboy Scott Boone makes his interest plain and starts courting Becky almost immediately. 
But Jack Anderson and Becky have been friends since childhood. When they're reunited years after their lives have taken very different paths, this lonely preacher begins to wonder if God has brought her back into his life for a reason. 
Pearce Morgan is a single parent raising his young daughter. Divorced and disillusioned, an unlikely friendship arises between him and Becky when his shy daughter decides she loves Becky and her kids.
Lonely Hearts, is a heartwarming story of second chances and choices, and includes an exclusive apple pie recipe!

 

Visit Novel Launch for more information on these great new releases and for other special offers and giveaways.  And stay tuned for more awesome holiday giveaways coming soon from TreasureLine Publishing!
