Available on 1 August: my thriller translation, Het resort by Catherine Cooper (original title: The Island).
Scuba diving in the Maldives sounds like fun, until strange things start happening and you're stuck on an island in a thunderstorm... 🏝️ 🇲🇻 🐢 🥽 🐠 🐡 ⛈️ 😱

Available from 1 November: another thriller I translated, by the same author as the last one, Catherine Cooper.
This time we're going skiing in the French Alps, but there's another storm, which means nobody can leave the chalet... 🏠 🇫🇷 🏔️ ⛷️ 🍷 🍄 🌨️ 😱

'We live in strange times. We also live in strange places: each in a universe of our own.'

For some time I had been wondering what was up with one of my favorite authors - it had been so long since I last heard any news.
So I went to her website - https://www.otherscribbles.com/news/2025/4/25/monk-and-robot-omnibus-and-some-other-tidbits - and read the most delightful news: she's about to publish a new book! This post was from April 25, so it shouldn't be long now🤞🤞🤞
