Bonjour à tous ! Voici le récapitulatif des 5 nouvelles auteures qui seront présentes au Festival du Roman Féminin 2020 !

Penny Watson Webb

[box type=”info” align=”” class=”” width=””]

Elle est de retour cette année ! Soutenue par VFB Éditions, vous aurez le plaisir de (re)voir Penny Watson Webb.

« Je m’évade de ma vie surbookée de directrice des soins et de mère de famille nombreuse grâce à l’écriture. Et j’ai profité d’une expatriation pour mettre à profit mon envie d’écrire de la romance historique. Ce qui me plaît le plus, c’est de faire voyager mes lecteurs dans le temps, de leur faire découvrir la petite histoire qui fait la grande Histoire. J’aime partager la vie des hommes et des femmes des diverses époques que je visite, l’idée est de montrer quels étaient les enjeux de ceux qui nous ont précédés dans les siècles passés. De l’amour, des aventures périlleuses, des femmes de cœur au courage et aux vies chahutées par les difficultés de la vie. Des hommes d’honneur, avec leur faiblesse et leur grandeur. Empire romain, Vikings, Chevalerie et Moyen-âge, Renaissance, et même Westerns Spaghetti, je me promène au fil des siècles, heureuse de vous emmener avec moi. Ma seule ambition est de vous faire passer par toutes les émotions possibles : joie, peur, rire, inquiétude, et soupirs….

Je viendrai vous présenter ma nouvelle série Viking : Les runes de sang. »

Margot D. Bortoli

[box type=”info” align=”” class=”” width=””]

Née en 1986, Margot D.Bortoli quitte la banlieue parisienne à l’âge de 19 ans pour rejoindre un amoureux à l’autre bout de la France. Les aléas de la vie finiront par lui faire changer d’amoureux, mais Toulouse restera sa ville de cœur et de résidence.

Avec un parcours totalement éclectique (littérature anglaise, esthétique cosmétique, bijouterie, télémarketing, assistanat de direction…) on serait en droit de penser qu’elle finirait internée à l’asile, mais c’était sans compter sur son caractère bien trempé. Et son amour des livres.

Actuellement assistante commerciale, épouse, maman de trois garnements, incurable romantique et parfois amie pénible, elle tente l’aventure de l’édition en 2017, encouragée par ses proches. Elle publie sa trilogie des Projets aux éditions BMR, puis Too Young aux éditions addictives et son dernier petit roman: Ce C*****d de Père Noël en auto-édition.

Héritiers des Larmes, Tome 1 : L'Épouse Ennemie

de Penny Watson Webb

paru en Septembre 2017

chez Harlequin

384 pages

http://amzn.to/2jbSMMf

Face à la reine de France, Brunhilde sent son cœur battre à tout rompre. La souveraine lui a accordé le droit de choisir son époux, et attend à présent sa réponse. Brunhilde sait que tout le monde souhaite qu’elle désigne, sur l’ordre de son frère, l’arrogant seigneur de Valcoudray, dont l’alliance renforcerait sa famille. Ce noble normand est même prêt à passer outre le baiser qu’il a surpris la veille entre elle et Conan de Ker Glenn, leur ennemi breton. Conan, l’homme à qui Brunhilde a caché son identité et qui lui lance aujourd’hui des regards noirs. Si c’est lui qu’elle choisit, il la méprisera, elle le sait, et la traitera comme une étrangère dans sa propre demeure. Mais la paix entre Bretons et Normands serait désormais actée. Consciente des regards qui pèsent sur elle, Brunhilde lève enfin les yeux, déterminée. Elle sait ce qui lui reste à faire.

J’ai commencé cette lecture un peu par hasard sans lire le résumé, j’ai aimé la couverture et quand j’ai vu passer une chronique, je me suis lancée. Je ne savais pas dans quoi je m’embarquait mais une chose était sûr, le thème basé sur « épouse » et « ennemie » promettaient des moments intenses.

Le début installe un cadre qui change de ce que je lis habituellement : les Bretons contres les Normands/Francs, tout en ayant un air si familier avec les contrées écossaises et ses clans qui se disputent des terres. J’étais agréablement surprise, pleins de détails sur cette partie de l’histoire sans en faire trop et en l’arrangeant de sorte à en faire un décor pour accueillir cette jolie romance.

J’ai levé les yeux au ciel, j’ai grimacé devant de la niaisierie un peu dégoulinante, je me suis même demandé de quand datait le texte ! C’est une romance historique à l’ancienne. Je pensais qu’il s’agissait d’une traduction d’un vieux texte, un peu comme un Garwood. Oui rien que ça, il y a pire comme comparaison. Je me suis renseignée : l’auteure est française. Ce n’est pas vieux, c’est totalement récent et il y aura d’autres tomes. J’étais presque choquée de l’apprendre, je me suis faite bananer.

Ce que je trouve « à l’ancienne » et « niais » est qu’au deuxième chapitre, nous assistons à la rencontre et déjà baiser avec un parfait inconnu en pleine nuit. Ça a le don de me faire souffler un peu, c’est même rédhibitoire pour moi. Mais pourtant, je n’ai pas abandonné, j’ai même été très très attachée à ce texte. Une fois commencé, je n’ai pas voulu m’arrêter. Pourquoi, alors que l’héroïne n’est pas de ces personnages féminins que j’apprécie particulièrement ? Parce qu’au delà de son côté « princesse disney sur son nuage », elle a offert à de nombreux moments de belles émotions qui ont su mettre la larme à l’oeil au caillou que je suis. Il y avait aussi de l’humour, des répliques bien senties, de la complicité, un panel de personnages secondaires réussis et bien construits.

L’intrigue est tout ce qu’il y a de plus classique dans le genre mais Penny Watson Webb apporte un petit plus en osant se prendre pour George. (RR Martin). Elle met en place avec ce premier tome un potentiel de saga plutôt intéressant et alors que je me détachais de cette collection, je pense regarder de nouveau du côté du numérique. (Je boude le changement de tranches/finissions des couvertures, j’aimais le soft touch ! )

L'épouse ennemie de Penny WATSON-WEBB : conquise !

L’épouse ennemie de Penny WATSON-WEBB : conquise !

Quant à lire une romance, autant la rechercher dans une édition connue (HARLEQUIN, pour ne pas la citer) et se fier aux chroniques élogieuses des blogs. Je me suis arrêtée sur cette série Héritiers des larmes. Ce n’est pas forcément ce tome-là que j’avais envie de découvrir en première intention mais, à priori, il valait mieux commencer par le début pour s’immerger dans les aventures de ces…

This week we take a trip back to the post-war period as a couple of mages get down to a little detective work in Eddy Webb’s Crimson Lips, from The Fallen World Chronicle for Mage: The Awakening 2nd Edition.

They took Rick’s Buick, partially because it had an auxiliary heater, and mostly because Early didn’t have a car. Traffic in Detroit was usually bad in the winter, but for now the roads were clear and they were making good time.

“Why does a mage need to live in a mansion?” Early asked, pulling his scarf down as the car warmed up.

Rick winced a little at the word mage. “Can we have this conversation a little more discreetly?” he said, a cigarette between his fingers while he gripped the wheel.

“Why? There a Guardian hidden in your heater I should know about? You got a Sleeper in the back seat that might run screaming into the night?”

“It just bugs me.”

“And that’s why I do it.”

Rick smiled while he took a drag. “You’re an asshole.”

“And you’re not answering my question. Why a mansion? If you can control reality, why do you also need to be rich?”

“Not everyone thinks they should live on the streets, getting by on their wits and their magic alone.”

Early grunted and wiped the fog off the windows. “World would be a better place if they did. That’s what Rosie thought, at least.”

They pulled up to a closed iron gate in front of a well-plowed driveway that curled up to a big house on the hill. Some poor guard was standing by it, bundled up for an Arctic expedition. Rick rolled down the window and gave his name, and the guard moved his arm as much as he could to indicate they should go in.

“That’s convenient,” Early said.

“The Council are paying me to do a job. They made sure to put me on the guest list.”

“Next you’ll be lining up to join an Order.”

“No need to be vulgar.”

Rick pulled up to the front door, and the two men got out. The front door was large enough to let the Buick in for a tune-up if they wanted. Over it was a stained-glass panel showing a knight in dark armor, helping out a woman tied to a tree. She didn’t have any clothes, but she did have some very convenient hair. Rick rang the bell and stomped on his cigarette before they were met by a butler named Wilkins. He took Rick’s hat and tried to take Early’s before whisking them down hallways that were two stories tall, and through a couple of French doors. On the other side was a man lying in a bed three times too big, and his pajamas looked almost as sharp as Early’s suit. The way he kept giggling and drooling on himself made Wilkins nervous, and with a quick “Mr. Francis Evans,” they were alone.

Early walked around the bed, looking at the man. Mr. Evans watched back with wide eyes and a rictus grin stretching his face so wide it almost snapped. Rick looked at Mr. Evans himself, using his Mage Sight to see anything unusual, but his sight fell away same as with the others, like throwing a nickel down a wishing well. Frustrated, he looked at Early. “See anything?”

The older mage walked back, absently pulling on his beard. “Not much. Mr. Francis Evans was a Mastigos of the Silver Ladder, and used to be quite a good Mind mage. He made a lot of money and a lot of friends investing in war bonds, which means everyone looks the other way when he goes off to see other men in hotel rooms.”

“You said he was a Mastigos. Why the past tense?”

Early knelt down to look into Mr. Evans’ eyes. Rick could see his hands shaking. “Because he ain’t a mage no more.”

“You mean something took his magic?”

“No, it’s more…” Early waved his hands vaguely, as if he could pluck the explanation from the air. “Magic is a fire inside of us, right? Something that we kindle with new knowledge. It’s not all lucky lottery tickets and convenient car crashes. It’s about finding things out, and using that knowledge to make ourselves stronger, and maybe make the world better.” He stood back up. “But that’s gone now. That desire, that drive to know and do, it’s just missing.”

Rick nodded. That connected with what the Guardians had told him. He started searching the room, hoping that maybe there was something in the bedridden man’s effects that would tell them something new. He hated being Watson, but that was the role Fate assigned him, so he played along. “So you’ve seen this before?”

“Nope.” Early reached behind Mr. Evans’ ear, and pulled out a penny. The bedridden man smiled at that, and drooled some more.

“Penny!” Both men looked, surprised at the bedridden man’s outburst. He put a hand on Early’s suit and looked into his eyes. “Need penny!”

Rick snorted, looking inside a shaving kit. “Man wants money even when he’s brain-dead.”

“Told you no good comes from being rich.” Early handed Mr. Evans the penny, and the bedridden man snatched it hungrily. “Penny for your thoughts,” Early said, watching the man carefully for any tick, any insight.

“Lips,” he said, as he carefully studied the penny in his hand.

Rick closed the lid of the shaving kit and looked over. “Lips?”

“That’s what the man said,” Early muttered, still watching the bedridden man. “I need more than that, Mr. Evans. A penny don’t go far these days, but it goes further than that.”

“Crimson,” the man said. “Crimson lips. At the club.” His eyes grew sad, and he wiped at his chin, leaving a smear on the sleeve of his expensive pajamas. “Before the end.”

“Great,” Rick said, opening a dresser drawer. “All we have to do is find out which club he went to. Maybe he has a matchbook or something.”

Early stood up. “You read too many crime magazines. Look at his fingers. No nicotine stains. And there wasn’t a single ashtray on our way up here. Why would he have a matchbook? Just go ask one of the servants.”

Rick closed the drawer. “Are you too good to talk to the servants?”

“Nah, you’re just prettier than me.” Early handed Mr. Evans another penny, and the bedridden mage squealed with delight. “But I’ll come with you if you need help with the bigger words.”

They found Wilkins in the study, dusting the books. At first, he claimed he didn’t know how his master got in his condition, and Mr. Evans certainly didn’t go out to nightclubs.

But Rick ?ashed his movie-star smile. “Don’t worry. We know.”

“Know, sir?” Wilkins asked. He sounded like he was trying on the English accent, but it didn’t fit him right.

“He has a secret life,” Early said, looking at the books.

“We won’t tell anyone,” Rick added. “We just want to know where he goes.”

Wilkins looked at the feather duster in his hand. “I understand that Mr. Evans sometimes does… dangerous things. And I hate seeing him in this condition.” He looked back up at the two men. “Will you find out who did this to him?”

Rick looked at Early, who nodded. “We’ll try,” Rick said to Wilkins.

The butler nodded. “He sometimes goes to the El Dorado. I don’t know who he sees there, but once in a while he doesn’t come home until morning. He never says anything, but, well, one notices these things.”

“Yes,” Early said dryly, pulling a book from the shelf. “One does.”

Rick ignored him. “Did Mr. Evans talk about a woman in his life? One that might have worn lipstick?”

“Certainly not!” Wilkins said.

“Wouldn’t be proper being seen alone with a woman,” Early said.

“Quite right,” Wilkins agreed, sailing past Early’s barb.

Early turned to look at the butler for the first time. He had the open book in one hand, and a letter in the other. “Which means this love letter you got from ‘Dearest Jeanine’ probably belongs to you.”

Wilkins snatched the letter from Early’s grasp. “If you are quite finished, I would ask you both to leave now.”

Rick put his hands up in mock surrender. “We’re leaving. Thank you for your time.”

Early tipped his hat at Wilkins, Rick took his back, and they walked back to the Buick.

“What was the point of that, Early?” Rick asked as he drove back down the driveway. “He was helping us.”

“Man had secrets,” Early said over his scarf.

“Maybe some secrets should stay secret.”

Early rubbed the fog off the windows again. “Nothing stays secret from me. That’s what you wanted, ain’t it? The man who asks all the questions? The one who can see everyone’s secrets?”

Rick stopped at the gate and stole a glance at Early while it opened. “Can’t you just keep them to yourself once in a while?”

Early ignored the question. Instead, he opened up the glove compartment. “You still got your gun in here?”

“Sure,” Rick said. “I got papers for it, too.”

Early closed the compartment again. “Good. I got a feeling we’ll need it.”

What’s causing Evans’ illness? What connection does it have to the woman with the crimson lips? Find out in The Fallen World Chronicle, now available from DriveThruFiction in ebook and print.

LA MARINA BOWLS REPORT BY BARRY LATHAM

The Pilots flew away to the Emerald Isle to play the Vulcans and came back with another good win of 10-4. Four winning rinks plus the overall shots. Barry and Margaret Sadler and Mo Kidd in fine form 22-8 so were Sue Daniels, John Rae and Anne Stone 25-12. Terry and Jean Perchard along with Lorita Rae 17-12 and with the same difference John Morgan, Tom Spencer and Gina Hindle 16-11.

La Marina and the VCL aren’t very compatible at the moment as we went to San Miguel and got rather harshly beaten again. This time 12-2. Our only winning rink came from Dave Taylor, John Rae, Carol Smith and Mo Taylor. Mo had a great game and rumour has it that Dave was so pleased that a trip to some dress shops is on the cards.

The Pilots had their second game on Friday where they played the Quesada Lancasters away and got bombed off the green losing 10-4 although the overall shots was only a measly six shots. Len Daniels, Steve Hindle and Dave O’Sullivan won 17-10 while our top winning trip was John Morgan, Tom Spencer and Gina Hindle.
