Today is the release of “Gabriel’s Redemption”

Dear Everyone,

Today is the release date of “Gabriel’s Redemption” in many English language markets, including the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. I’m proud to report that the novel is already ranked a bestseller in the Amazon Kindle store.  It’s also doing well in the iBookstore and on KOBO and Barnes & Noble.

Many bookstores (Such as Chapters, Barnes & Noble, as well as Waterstone’s in the UK) already have “Gabriel’s Redemption” on their shelves. UK Readers who ordered e-books can probably expect those to be delivered electronically around midnight December 4 and into the early hours of December 5.

Thank you.

Without you, the readers, there would be no third book in the series. I changed my mind about writing another book about the Professor when you sent so many positive notes and emails, asking for another novel. “Gabriel’s Redemption” was written for you. I hope you enjoy it.

Don’t forget to join me tomorrow night, December 4, at 9PM EST as I twitter chat with Colleen Lindsay of Penguin USA. Use #PenguinRomance to join the conversation.

I will be having another chat on Sunday, December 8 at 5PM EST with the SMI Bookclub.

I know Spanish speaking readers have been waiting to hear news about the Spanish translation of “Gabriel’s Redemption.” I should be able to make an announcement in the next week about when you can expect the book to be released. Thank you for your patience.

Brazilian readers can expect “Gabriel’s Redemption” to be published in January.

I don’t have news for Francophone readers, but I hope Michel Lafon will publish the third book in French.

Casa Editrice Nord should be making an announcement about the translation of the third book into Italian, soon.

Japanese, Portuguese, Polish, and Czech translation are all forthcoming. Details to be announced.

In this holiday season, I want to express my wish that you and your family will have peace, joy, and happiness for the rest of 2013 and in 2014, as well.

Thank you for your encouragement and support, and thank you for reading,
SR.

My Next Novel Revealed

Dear Everyone,

Back in September, I wrote a post in which I mentioned my next novel. I’m pleased to be able to give you more information now.

My next novel is the first in a new series, and it will be entitled The Raven.  With this novel, I’m asking you to pack your bags and travel with me to the city of Florence. The Gabriel Series showed you the city during the day.  This time, I’ll show you Florence’s underworld, which is ruled by creatures of the night …

Here’s the formal announcement:

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Gabriel Series comes a dark, sensual tale of romance in a city shrouded in mystery…
Raven Wood spends her days at Florence’s Uffizi Gallery restoring fine works of Renaissance art.  But an innocent walk home after an evening with friends changes her life forever. When she intervenes in the senseless beating of a homeless man, his attackers turn on her, dragging her into an alley.  Raven is only semi-conscious when their assault is interrupted by a cacophony of growls followed by her attacker’s screams.  Mercifully, she blacks out, but not before catching a glimpse of a shadowy figure who whispers to her …
Cassita vulneratus.

When Raven awakes, she is inexplicably changed.  She returns to the Uffizi, but no one recognizes her and more disturbingly, she discovers that she’s been absent an entire week.  With no recollection of the events leading up to her disappearance, Raven also learns that her absence coincides with one of the largest robberies in Uffizi history – the theft of a set of priceless Botticelli illustrations. When the baffled police force identifies her as its prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name. She seeks out one of Florence’s wealthiest and elusive men in an attempt to uncover the truth about her disappearance.   Their encounter leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to keep their secrets …

As I mentioned in my September post, readers of Gabriel’s Redemption will be able to read an excerpt from The Raven at the end of both the paperback and e-book editions.
But what I didn’t mention was that one of the characters of The Raven appears in Gabriel’s Redemption.  Can you identify him or her? I welcome your guesses in the comments below and on social media.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that there’s a connection between The Gabriel Series and my new series – a connection that is more than simply me, or the city of Florence, or the Uffizi Gallery. If you’ve read the cover copy above carefully, probably you’re beginning to guess the answer. But I’ll be explicit and state that we won’t be saying goodbye to the Professor at the end of Gabriel’s Redemption. Look for him to have a cameo appearance in The Raven as well …
While I don’t have a release date for The Raven yet, I hope to have one soon. This novel marks my transition from a contemporary love story to a paranormal one. I hope you’ll join me on this journey and that if you have friends and family who enjoy paranormal novels, you’ll help me share the news with them.
As we approach the December 3rd release date of Gabriel’s Redemption in North America, my American publisher has listed a giveaway of the novel on Goodreads.  US entrants can enter the contest  here.

And if you’d like to read a new excerpt from Gabriel’s Redemption and enter another contest, you can do so here at Romance Times.

Finally, I want to wish everyone who is celebrating Thanksgiving this week a very happy holiday. I have much to be thankful for and in particular, I’m thankful for you, my readers.

All the best and thank you for your continued support,
SR

The Kitchen Table Outtake from “Gabriel’s Rapture”

Dear Everyone,

If you’ve read Gabriel’s Rapture, then you probably remember the narrator referring to Kitchen Table Sex as the holy grail of domestic coupling. (Ahem)

The Rock Stars of Romance website is hosting the infamous Kitchen Table Outtake from Gabriel’s Rapture, in which Gabriel and Julia discover the holy grail of domestic coupling.  You can read the outtake here.  They’re also hosting a contest in which you can enter to win signed copies of my books. The contest is open internationally.

Feel free to share the link with friends, especially those who are new to my writing. I appreciate the support. I should mention that the book Gabriel refers to is “Kosher Sex” by Shmuley Boteach. You can find my review of it on Goodreads.

A number of different outtakes, excerpts, and interviews were posted this week on various websites, including Barnes and Noble.com.  Check previous posts here on my website for the details and links.

All the best and thanks for reading,
SR

A Special Scene written for Barnes and Noble

Dear Everyone,

I was invited to write a special scene for Barnes and Noble, to commemorate the December 3rd release of Gabriel’s Redemption.

You can read “Stelle su Firenze” here. Scroll to the bottom of the page where it says “Read an Excerpt.” You may have to refresh the page a couple of pages. I think we’ve overwhelmed the site …

I’m also pleased to announce that Casa Editrice Nord, my Italian publisher, is preparing an Italian translation of Gabriel’s Redemption.  More details forthcoming soon.

All the best and thank you for reading,
SR
