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,
SR
PS. Look who else is a Penguin author.
I am honoured to have had all three of my novels appear on the New York Times and USA Today Bestseller lists. I was a Semifinalist for Best Author in the 2011 and 2012 Goodreads Choice Awards. {
I wish to reach out to you to hold your hand (virtually) and let you know that your news has filled my heart to the brim with joy, as well as my son’s. I can’t think of a more deserving person or a more talented author.
Love that Dante is with Penguin as well. See? Destiny.
Congrats!!! I am so happy for you!!!
I am so very happy for you, SR. I wish you every (much deserved) success – here in the UK as well. I have your ebooks. I rather think that when I see the paperbacks on sale in my local bookshops I’ll buy them too. The audiobooks option seems tempting … I am covering all bases here. Just call me ‘Thrilled of Northern England’
A big CONGRATULATIONS to you! That’s wonderful news & very much well deserved!
Congratulations on all the success, SR! I’m so happy for you, I’ve been squeeing all day! 🙂 Thank you for these wonderful books and I am glad more and more people all around the world will get to read them and fall in love with Gabriel and Julia’s story. I think I’ll never be able to thank you enough for the beautiful story you gave us. Thank you for writing and for always sharing your talent with us. And I’m so happy we’ll see the books translated in other languages! I can’t wait to read it also in Italian! This is a dream come true! 🙂 I love the fact that Dante is a Penguin author. Maybe now he’ll befriend you on Goodreads 😉
Congratulations again and God bless,
Elena

SR,
I’m crying as I type this message to you, my reaction to this amazing news THAT inspiring, for these are tears of joy. They are tears from a reader who has enjoyed this journey from the beginning…they are tears from a friend who has and will continue to always wish you the very best of everything good, prosperous and creatively fulfilling. I think Dante had it right: “A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.” This fantastic news reverberates that sentiment, and resonates with so many who love you, because what a compelling, dazzling flame your creative spark has become, growing larger and rising skyward, up the charts and…Holy Moses! 😉
Penguin made a brilliant choice – Congratulations to you again and again!

Thrilled I tell you, so thrilled to see this on the NY Times Bestseller List.
Thrilled, but not surprised.
I knew your well written story was special when I was sitting patiently waiting for each update, reviewing each new delicious chapter you so generously offered.
Much deserved success. I’m here on my end, observing all you do, say, and pass on.
I’ve purchased Gabriel’s Inferno for myself, and copies for friends…look forward to the others.
Also look forward to seeing the rest of this journey with you. As always in support and

All my best,

Hey SR, question for you. Are the books out now and the books coming out from Berkeley the same? In other words, if I want to buy the books does it matter if I buy my eBook now or after they’re out under Berkeley? Thanks and congrats!
The new e-books are already available as of 8-1-12 through iTunes and Amazon & a preorder for the new print copiesis available through Barnes & Noble due out Sept. 4th. I ‘m sure there wil be more to come. 🙂
Thanks =D!
Congratulations, SR! All the best that you give us return to you.
Warmly,
Christine

How incredibly fitting that in giving one receives! Congratulations, SR! Your extraordinary gift to us, your readers, of such beautiful, exquisite writing that touches the very depths of the soul, deserves to reach all! Coupled with your kind and compassionate spirit, I am reminded of a quote:
“Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.” ~James M. Barrie
LOVED your books. Love your style of writing. MORE PLEASE!!
I will be an avid reader of any future books
SR, congrats on this amazing opportunity! I’ve been a fan from the beginning when I wasn’t aware of a certain writer’s platform. I thank that person for spreading the recommendation to me. Till this day, I can’t believe I’m a fan of contemporary romance, I wasn’t before until your story changed my perspective on that. Best wishes to you on your new endeavors and I’m crossing my fingers there’s a 3rd book in the works 🙂
I bought gabriels inferno through kobo, which I loved. However when I went to buy gabriels rapture it had disappeared from kobo. I’m desperate To know if it will be available on there again??
Hello Natasha Jane,
Here’s the link to “Gabriel’s Rapture” on Kobo: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Gabriels-Rapture/book-VhI0OnTC80mpg9JcNYszbQ/page1.html?s=aB8QKtJty0u1ZckrqnVclg&r=1
Sorry about the technical difficulties. Not sure what happened,
Thanks for the reply but it’s still not working, it says that the content is no longer available. Even when I search Sylvain reynard it doesn’t find anything….
Hello Natasha Jane,
The Kobo link worked for me. Could you email info@sylvainreynard.com ?
We’ll get it sorted out.
Thanks,
SR
Hi, I have done as requested and sent an email to the above address. May I take a moment to congratulate you on a superb book. I hope my situation is resolved quickly as i am eager to carry on with reading the second book.
Hi, I’ve just finished reading Gabriel’s Inferno on Kindle and I’m so looking forward to Gabriel’s rapture but cannot seem to get on either ibooks or Kindle in the UK…it also seems to have disappeared?
Kind regards Liz
Hi liz, I’m glad I’m not the only one. I thought I was going mad…I am desperate to read it but still cannot seem to find it anywhere. Let’s hope the situation is resolved soon.
