SR signs Contract for Third Book in Gabriel Series: Plus Contest!

October 1, 2012

Dear Everyone,

I have good news.

I have on my desk a contract with Berkley Books for three novels. The first book under this contract will be the third and final volume in the Gabriel series. The release date is to be announced, as are the subjects of the other two books under contract.

When I wrote “Gabriel’s Rapture,” I intended this book to be the last volume about the Professor. But no sooner was the book released, than I began to receive letters from readers asking me for a third book.

Although I was grateful for the letters, I was determined that Rapture would be the final book. But as time went on and I received message after message asking for more about the Professor and Julianne, I began to contemplate what a third novel would entail.

Then, one morning I began to write …

So I’m pleased to tell you, the readers, that the third book is in progress and it’s being written for you in response to your messages. Thank you for your continued support of me and my writing. I look forward to sharing the novel with you.

All the best and thanks for reading,

PS. I’m pleased to report that my novels are going to be translated into French and into Croatian. More details forthcoming.

CONTEST

Do you see these? These are some of SR’s author copies!! When SR sent me the photo, I knew we had to do a contest!

SR’s photo (above) will be added to the FB Fan Page and also Twitter.

From there you’ll ‘share’ it either on your FB page or on your Twitter but the key is to tell people why you love the books.

Make sure you ‘tag’ / @ SR’s name so that you’re properly entered.

Winners will be chosen randomly and you’ll receive both books signed by SR.

GOOD LUCK! xoxo Enn

Viva Italia!

August 31, 2012

Dear Everyone,

I want to thank you for your continued support of me and my writing. Because of your enthusiasm, my novels will be translated into Hungarian, Turkish, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and now … Italian.

Yes, Casa Editrice Nord has acquired the Italian language rights to both books. As you know, I have a deep appreciation for Italian history and culture. So it’s with tremendous joy that I make this announcement.

I’ll be adding a section to this site so that readers can find information about the International editions of my work.

Don’t forget that the paperback Berkley versions of “Gabriel’s Inferno” and “Gabriel’s Rapture” officially release 4 September, but are on sale on Amazon.com and in some bookstores now. Audiobook versions of both books are forthcoming, release date to be announced.

All the best and thanks for reading,
SR

Dear Everyone,

Allow me to begin this new post by thanking you. Thank you for reading and for supporting my writing. Thank you for telling your friends and family about these stories. And thank you for your support of the organizations and charities that are important to me. Your generosity and good will is much appreciated.

I’m pleased to report that my first novel, “Gabriel’s Inferno,” is #35 on the New York Times Bestsellers List, (Ebook/Fiction).

I am also pleased to report that both books, “Gabriel’s Inferno” and “Gabriel’s Rapture,” will be published by Berkley Publishing, a division of Penguin. E-book versions of both novels will go on sale this week under the Berkley imprint, with trade paperbacks to follow in the coming months. I anticipate that audiobooks and translations of these volumes will be forthcoming.

Under Berkley, both titles will receive wider distribution, especially in bookstores around the world. This will provide easier access to current and future readers. I enjoy interacting with readers from around the world and am eager for you to be able to read these books in your own language.

There is no author without readers. So once again, please accept my gratitude and my recognition that these events are occasioned by you and your support.

All the best,

@sylvainreynard If you’ve written to me to ask for a third book about the Professor, I’m listening. (And I might have begun to write … )

I hear you squee’ing!

A few other points that have been emailed to me and I wanted to address them all at once!

Bookmarks, bookplates, autographed books, oh, my!

REVIEWS: If you leave a review on either Amazon, BN, Powell’s, Chapters, etc.

PLEASE email me the link to the review and your mailing address and I’ll send you a bookmark for whichever book you’ve reviewed!

Many people are discussing SR’s novels as being must-reads on their Summer Reading Lists! If you see someone (anyone, whether celeb, friend or co-worker) looking for recommendations on Twitter, Facebook, the hair salon or even next to you on a beach towel, perhaps you’ll recommend Gabriel’s Inferno or Gabriel’s Rapture?

If you do, let me know! Email Enn

Bookplates or autographed books

If you own a paperback copy and are interested in a bookplate, email me with your name & mailing address. *FYI, this is the most affordable method as the international shipping envelopes are apparently expensive. Email Enn
