¡Nuevo libro de E L James!

Saludos, mis arrebatadores :-D Seguro que habéis oído hablar de la autora de Cincuenta sombras de Grey. Por fin ha escrito un nuevo libro y llega a España en mayo. ¡Estoy emocionadísima!

Confieso que intenté pedir el libro a la editorial para reseñarlo, pero me pegué un chasco enorme cuando me dijeron que mejor solicitara el ebook en la plataforma de edición anticipada 😂😂😂 Ni qué decir tiene que paso por completo. En la feria del libro aprovecharé el descuento, así que a esperar. 

THE MISTER trata de un aristócrata de Londres que hereda el título familiar en trágicas circunstancias. Su mayor reto, sin embargo, se presenta cuando conoce a una misteriosa mujer con secretos peligrosos por la que siente una imparable pasión. ¡Me encanta!

He’s got everything. . .good looks, connections, and wealth.

But when tragedy strikes he is suddenly lost.

THE MISTER, the highly anticipated new love story from #1 New York Times bestseller E L James is available now!

London, 2019.  Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.

But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.  Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? And can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?

From the heart of London through wild, rural Cornwall to the bleak, forbidding beauty of the Balkans, The Mister is a roller-coaster ride of danger and desire that leaves the reader breathless to the very last page.

Besotes con torrijas de Babel.

The Devil's Thief tour: Entrevista y Sorteo

Mis queridos arrebatadores :o) ¡Ya es viernes! 

Y la noticia mejora con la presencia internacional de la escritora LISA MAXWELL. Su libro El último mago llegará próximamente a España y, mientras tanto, ella está celebrando un tour para promocionar la segunda parte, The Devil's Thief (El ladrón del diablo).

Me apunté al tour porque ya sabéis que siempre estoy metida en mil tinglados. Hoy os traigo una entrevista al estilo de mi sección AUTORES LECTORES y un sorteo en el blog.

ENTREVISTA: THE READER IN EVERY AUTHOR

What are you reading these days?

I’ve been reading a lot of research for Book 3 of The Last Magician series. So…nothing overly page-turning, unfortunately. Recently, though, I’ve read a few great books! I really loved The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan. And I got to read an early copy of Peternelle van Arsdale’s The Cold Is In Her Bones and Nicki Pau Preto’s Crown of Feathers, and I loved both of them. When they’re out later, your readers should definitely check them out.

Mis lecturas actuales…

He leído mucho para documentar el tercer libro de la serie El último mago, así que nada especialmente absorbente, me temo. Hace poco, de todas formas, he leído unos cuantos libros muy buenos. Me encantó El sorprendente color de después, de Emily X.R. Pan. Tuve la oportunidad de leer una copia avanzada de El frío está ensus huesos de Peternelle van Arsdale y Corona de plumas, de Nicki Pau Preto. Ambos estupendos. Cuando se publiquen, deberíais echarles un vistazo sin dudarlo.

What two books would you recommend other readers and why?

One of my very favorite books is Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried. It isn’t YA. It’s actually about young soldiers in the Vietnam War, but it’s such an engaging read. The reason I love it and will always love it is that it has this beautiful way of explaining how the story-truth of fiction can be just as real—and sometimes more so—than the actual just-the-facts truth. 

Another really wonderful book is American Panda by Gloria Chao. The humor and heart in this one is everything a reader could want in a book.

Dos lecturas recomendadas.

Uno de mis libros favoritos es Las cosas que llevaban, de Tim O’Brien. No es juvenil, sino que trata de jóvenes soldados durante la guerra de Vietnam y es una lectura cautivadora. La razón por la que me gusta tanto es que tiene una manera tan bella de expresar la verdad a través de la ficción que a veces resulta más realista que los simples hechos.

Otro libro maravilloso es Panda americano, de Gloria Chao. El humor y el corazón que contiene este libro son todo lo que un lector podría desear.

In what ways have the books you've read influenced how you write?

I have a background in studying literature, so a lot of the books I’ve read were what a lot of people would consider literary fiction. But even with the more literary books, I have always loved books that play with the idea of what is real—books where reality could be more magical than the surface shows. A lot of people might not think that literary books can do this, but magical realism and post modern fiction—writers like Toni Morrison, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Tim O’Brien and others. Their dabbling with magic and the way that reality can be more fantastic and unbelievable sometimes has always intrigued me, and I think that’s informed my books.

I also love really lyrical and poetic writers. That’s probably because of my literature background. But writers like the modernists (think 1919-1940) who played with the way writers represented reality really inform the way I think about using images and other literary devices in my books. Writers like Fitzgerald and Kay Boyle and poets like William Carlos Williams or T.S. Eliot.  

Finally, I’m a huge huge fan of romance, especially historical romances, like those written by Sarah MacLean and Julia Quinn. I love the way they create these really three-dimensional characters. So much of romance follows the same basic plot lines, but the individuality of the characters is what makes or breaks a story for me, and I think reading a lot of romance helped me understand how to create characters of my own.

Formas en que los libros que has leído han influenciado tu escritura.

He estudiado literatura, por lo que muchos de los libros que he leído son lo que la gente consideraría ficción literaria. Siendo así y todo, siempre he amado los libros que juegan con la idea de lo que es real, libros donde la realidad es mágica más allá de la superficie. Hay quienes podría desechar la idea de que este tipo de literatura es capaz de eso, pero el realismo mágico y la ficción post moderna cuenta con escritores como Toni Morrison, Gabriel García Márquez y Tim O’Brien, entre otros. Su forma de flirtear con la magia y que la realidad puede ser fantástica e increíble siempre me ha intrigado, y creo que eso se ha traspasado a mis libros.

Me encantan los autores que escriben de forma lírica y poética. Me viene de mis estudios, probablemente, aunque escritores como lo modernistas (1919-1940) que jugaban con las técnicas para representar la realidad me han influido a la hora de usar imaginería y estrategias literarias en mis libros. Por nombrar algunos, Fitzgerald y Kay Boyle y poetas omo William Carlos Williams or T.S. Eliot.  

Por último, soy una fan total del romance, en particular los romances históricos como los escritos por Sarah MacLean y Julia Quinn. Me encanta la manera en que crean personajes tridimensionales. Gran parte de las historias románticas cumplen con un mismo prototipo de argumento, pero es la individualidad de los personajes lo que concede el éxito a una historia o todo lo contrario, y creo que leer mucho romance me ha ayudado a comprender cómo crear personajes propios.

And, if you could ask a question to my blog's followers, that would be awesome.

I’d love to know what your readers love to read!

Save the future.

En la actual Nueva York, no existe la magia. Los pocos que aún sienten afinidad con la magia se esconden en las sombras y cualquiera que entra en la ciudad queda atrapado en ella por una barrera de energía. Esta es una ladrona especializada en robar artefactos mágicos y puede manipular el tiempo, así que roba artefactos para arrebatárselos a la poderosa Orden que construyó la barrera. Su próxima misión consiste en robar un libro mágico en 1901 que contiene los secretos de la Orden y del Mago, pero nada es lo que parece y mucho menos el propio Mago. 

¿Qué os ha parecido la autora? ¿Tenéis ganas de leer sus libros de fantasía? A mí me apetece muchísimo porque la manipulación del tiempo y los libros mágicos me atraen como un imán ;o)

¡Suerte con el sorteo!

La trilogía de Gabriel: la redención se acerca

Hoy tenemos un invitado muy especial con nosotros, arrebatadores. El autor de la trilogía de Gabriel se ha prestado a una entrevista para celebrar la publicación del último libro: La redención de Gabriel. En España, ya disfrutamos de las dos primeras partes gracias a Esencia. Yo leí con sorpresa pero agrado el primer libro, El infierno de Gabriel (reseña), al que sigue El éxtasis de Gabriel.

Demos la bienvenida a 

SYLVAIN REYNARD

último libro de la trilogía

ENTREVISTA / INTERVIEW

In this last book of the trilogy, GABRIEL'S REDEMPTION, do Gabriel and Julia face tougher challenges to their paradise than ever?

Hello. Allow me to say that it’s a pleasure to be with you and your readers.  In some sense the challenges are tougher in “Gabriel’s Redemption” because more is at stake – Gabriel and Julia have much more to lose in this novel than in the previous two.

 En el último libro de la trilogía, La redención de Gabriel, ¿los retos a los que se enfrentan Gabriel y Julia amenazan más que nunca el paraíso que buscan?

Permitidme compartir con vosotros el placer que es para mí estar con los lectores de este blog. En cierto sentido, los retos en este libro son mayores porque hay mucho más en juego, los protagonistas tienen mucho más que perder que en los anteriores libros.

When the first book in the trilogy, GABRIEL'S INFERNO, was published in countries such as Spain, it was marketed as Erotic. A big chunk of the book though is devoted to character and relationship development before any physical intimacy is achieved. Do you think that label was wrong and therefore responsible for reader disappointment? Or is the eroticism more subtle but still there to please the connoisseur reader?

I don’t think of my novels as erotica but they are erotic in the sense that they are sensual and they include sex.  But as you mentioned, the eroticism is subtler in my books than in those normally classified as erotica.

En algunos países como España, el primer libro de la trilogía, El infierno de Gabriel, se publicó como libro erótico. Gran parte de la trama está dedicada al desarrollo de los personajes y su relación antes de que se alcance una intimidad física. En tu opinión, ¿fue un error etiquetar el libro como erótico y, por consiguiente, responsable de que los lectores sufrieran una decepción? ¿O el erotismo es más sutil pero apto para otro tipo de lector?

No considero mis libros bajo el género erótico. Sin embargo, son eróticos porque hay escenas de sensualidad y sexo. Tal y como mencionas, el erotismo es más sutil en los libros que escribo que en los clasificados normalmente en ese género.

How did you come up with the titles for each book?

The titles reflected Dante’s “The Divine Comedy,” but also the personal journey of Gabriel.

¿Cómo elegiste los títulos para cada libro?

Reflejan la Divina Comedia de Dante, aunque también el viaje personal de Gabriel.

What drew you to the works of Dante?

Part of my interest in Dante is due to my interest in Florentine history and culture.  You can’t study the history of Florence without encountering Dante.

¿Qué te atrajo de las obras de Dante?

Parte de mi interés se deriva de mi atracción por la historia y cultura florentinas. No puedes estudiar la historia de Florencia sin toparte con Dante.

How do you inspire yourself for both the emotional and the erotic sides of the story?

My readers inspire me. I enjoy hearing from them and knowing that they liked the novels.  I’m also inspired by music, literature, and art.

¿Cómo te inspiras para escribir las escenas emocionales y eróticas de tus libros?

Los lectores me inspiran. Me complace conocer sus opiniones y saber que les gustaron las novelas. Encuentro inspiración también en la música, la literatura y el arte.

What's the last book you've read?

I just finished reading “The Problem of Pain,” by CS Lewis, which is a meditation on faith, suffering, and love. You can see some of the books I’ve read on my Goodreads page.

¿Qué es lo último que has leído?

Acabo de terminar El problema del dolor, de C.S. Lewis, una meditación sobre la fe, el sufrimiento y el amor. Podéis echar un vistazo a mi lista de lecturas en Goodreads.

What are you currently working on?

I’m writing a novel, “The Raven,” which will be the first in a new series. It’s a paranormal love story set in the city of Florence. The Professor will have a cameo appearance in it. Readers can find out more about “The Raven”here. 

¿Qué escribes en estos momentos?

Estoy escribiendo una novela, El cuervo, el primer volumen de una nueva serie. Es una historia de amor paranormal ambientada en la ciudad de Florencia. Aparecerá el profesor (Gabriel, de la trilogía actual) brevemente en esta novela. Si hay algún lector interesado en saber más, puede pasarse por esta web.

Title: Gabriel’s Redemption (Gabriel’s Inferno Series #3)

Publisher: Penguin Berkley

Summary:

From the author of the New York Times bestsellers Gabriel’s Rapture and Gabriel’s Inferno comes the epic conclusion to the captivating romantic trilogy.

Professor Gabriel Emerson has left his position at the University of Toronto to embark on a new life with his beloved Julianne. Together, he’s confident that they can face any challenge. And he’s eager to become a father.

But Julianne’s graduate program threatens Gabriel’s plans, as the pressures of being a student become all consuming. When she is given the honor of presenting an academic lecture at Oxford, Gabriel is forced to confront Julianne about the subject of her presentation—research that conflicts with his own. And in Oxford, several individuals from their past appear, including an old nemesis intent on humiliating Julia and exposing one of Gabriel’s darkest secrets.

In an effort to confront his remaining demons, Gabriel begins a quest to discover more about his biological parents, beginning a chain of events that has startling repercussions for himself, Julianne, and his hope of having a family.

Author's Biography: I'm interested in the way literature can help us explore aspects of the human condition - particularly suffering, sex, love, faith, and redemption. My favourite stories are those in which a character takes a journey, either a physical journey to a new and exciting place, or a personal journey in which he or she learns something about himself/herself.

 

I'm also interested in how aesthetic elements such as art, architecture, and music can be used to tell a story or to illuminate the traits of a particular character. In my writing, I combine all of these elements with the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the transformative power of goodness.

 

I try to use my platform as an author to raise awareness about the following charities: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation, WorldVision, Alex's Lemonade Stand, and Covenant House. For more information, see my Twitter account.

Dark Musicals trilogy + giveaway

Buenos días a todos mis arrebatadores :o) Como me encanta todo lo que esté relacionado con el fantasma de la ópera, y otros musicales, me dejé llevar por el capricho y me apunté a esta promoción. Lamentablemente, el sorteo asociado es sólo para Estados Unidos así que si sois de allí, welcome, si no, al menos hablaremos de esta trilogía tan curiosota.

La protagonista de Phantom siente gran atracción por esta obra musical, la cual se celebra en su instituto como parte del proyecto del club de interpretación, pero con desastrosas consecuencias. Mientras se debate en un difícil triángulo amoroso, un acosador utiliza las líneas de la obra como su tarjeta de visita. Los accidentes se suceden. Tom parece bueno, pero Justyn quizás se esté tomando demasiado en serio su papel de torturado artista. En Demon, la competitividad alcanza cotas peligrosas en la escuela de drama de Nueva York. Ahora el objetivo es conseguir el papel en Sweeny Todd, el barbero demoníaco de Fleet Street. Los problemas se acumulan sobre los hombros de Rebecca al tiempo que un violador aterroriza el campus. Finalmente, en Hyde, Rebecca tiene la posibilidad de participar en un musical de forma profesional, pero las envidias son brutales. Todo el mundo parece tener dos caras y el crimen acecha por todas partes.

Esta trilogía tiene una pinta fantástica, ¿no creéis?

Phantom (Dark Musicals #1)

by Laura DeLuca

Summary from Goodreads:

The “Phantom” was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses “Phantom” as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card.

Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars—Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist.

Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn’t know who to trust, but she knows she’s running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty first century phantom finally be revealed.

Demon (Dark Musicals #2)

by Laura DeLuca

Summary from Goodreads:

When Justyn and Rebecca set off to attend the New York School of Performing Arts, they think their dreams are about to come true. To their dismay, they aren’t in high school anymore, and the competition is steep. Rebecca must compete against accomplished singers for a role in the production of Demon Barber, including a stunning Gothic diva with her sights set on Justyn.

It doesn't help that things keep disappearing from their apartment or that Rebecca's father refuses to accept that Justyn is an essential part of her life. Yet, all this seems minimal in comparison to the serial rapist terrorizing the campus.

Consumed by fear and obsessed with revenge, Rebecca and Justyn start living the story of Sweeney Todd—both on and off the stage.

Hyde (Dark Musicals #3)

by Laura DeLuca

Summary from Goodreads:

Rebecca Hope has looked death in the face twice and lived to tell her tale.

She and the love of her life, Justyn Patko, land a summer internship at a local dinner theater, performing the musical Hyde. While they are excited about their first paid acting gig, they soon find themselves surrounded by more experienced cast mates, jealous of their success. As if the tension isn’t bad enough, they soon discover that the business might be a front for something much more sinister.

When Justyn is accused of a crime that she knows he would never commit, Rebecca must decide if she wants to follow her head or her heart. While trying to prove his innocence, she makes a shocking discovery of her own.

Everyone has something to conceal in the grand finale of the Dark Musicals Trilogy. Rebecca has to look beyond the façade to discover the true Hyde or face her final curtain call.
