LITTLE SECRETS
by Jennifer Hillier
Minotaur, April 2020

All it takes to unravel a life is one little secret… Marin had the perfect life. Married to her college sweetheart, she owns a chain of upscale hair salons, and Derek runs his own company. They’re admired in their community and are a loving family―until their world falls apart the day their son Sebastian is taken. A year later, Marin is a shadow of herself. The FBI search has gone cold. The publicity has faded. She and her husband rarely speak. She hires a P.I. to pick up where the police left off, but instead of finding Sebastian, she learns that Derek is having an affair with a younger woman. This discovery sparks Marin back to life. She’s lost her son; she’s not about to lose her husband, too. Kenzie is an enemy with a face, which means this is a problem Marin can fix. But as she sets a plan in motion, another revelation surfaces. Derek’s lover might know what happened to their son. And so might Derek.

Jennifer Hillier was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and lived in the Seattle area for years before returning home to Toronto, where she now lives with her family. She is the author of Wonderland, Creep, and Jar of Hearts.

SEED TO DUST by Marc Hamer

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance meets Vita Sackville-West’

SEED TO DUST
by Marc Hamer
Harvill Secker (UK), April 2019 | Greystone Books (US), October 2019

Working through a year in the garden of a large country estate, a gardener explores the path that led him there. His days are spent with the magnolias and roses, moths and beetles and the distant lady who has employed him for the past thirty years. A broken biographical telling of the journey, mythology and poetry of an outcast boy who just wanted to be somebody’s flower, to an old man who has and is everything that he wants. Intimate, moving and full of beauty, Marc’s meditative prose fills the heart with an appreciation for the life we live, making SEED TO DUST the perfect companion for his critically-acclaimed first book, HOW TO CATCH A MOLE.

Chosen by the American IndieBound.org for its Indie Next List (which promotes the best books in the country at independent bookshops).

Marc Hamer was born in the North of England and moved to Wales over thirty years ago. After spending a period homeless, then working on the railway, he returned to education and studied fine art in Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent. He has worked in art galleries, marketing, graphic design, as a magazine editor and taught creative writing in a prison before becoming a gardener.

CHESHIRE CROSSING de Andy Weir bientôt adapté au cinéma

Les droits cinéma de CHESHIRE CROSSING, écrit par Andy Weir et illustré par Sarah Andersen, viennent d’être cédés à Amblin Partners !

L’adaptation sera produite par Michael De Luca, nominé à trois reprises pour l’Oscar du meilleur film pour The Social Network, Moneyball (Le Stratège) et Capitaine Phillips.

CHESHIRE CROSSING brings together the heroines of Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and The Wizard of Oz in a charming fantasy mash-up, brimming over with Andy’s trademark wit and nerdy enthusiasm, and filtered through a decidedly quirky genre perspective. Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy—after years of being labeled “crazy” for their insistence on the existence of other worlds—meet at Cheshire Crossing, a supernatural boarding school where they are finally believed and for the first time treated as the holders of special powers rather than freaks. They are meant to learn how to use and control their superheroic abilities, but quickly find themselves sucked back into their magical realms when a new threat arises. When the Wicked Witch and Captain Hook form an evil alliance to conquer the worlds of Oz, Neverland, and Wonderland, the girls must work together to save not only these fantastical lands but also Earth itself.

This « storybook meets superheroes » graphic novel features the original magical girls of fantasy embarking on exciting supernatural adventures in a tale that could only come from the imagination of Andy Weir and the illustrative sorcery of Sarah Andersen.

Les droits de langue française de CHESHIRE CROSSING sont toujours disponibles.
