Dear Everyone,
The response to “The Prince” and “The Raven” has been overwhelming. Thank you.
I really appreciate your kind words about the books. I’m pleased to report I’m finishing the sequel to “The Raven” now and should know its release date soon.
Recently, a reader visited Florence and was kind enough to share some photographs with me. She has given me permission to share them with you, too, since they relate to my new Florentine Series.
When I was writing “The Raven,” I spent time in Florence researching the novel. I walked through the neighbourhoods and the alleys. I spent time looking up at the Duomo. I stood by the Arno River and watched it flow.
Here are two pictures of the alley Raven found herself in that fateful night:
I should mention that the graffiti is accidental to my choice of alley, but it’s certainly interesting.
I have a few more photos I’ll be sharing in the next couple of weeks.
I wanted to mention that Perling and Elizabeth, two readers, have started a “Gabriel’s Inferno” podcast. They are broadcasting live on Sunday evenings and are proceeding chapter by chapter. On Sunday, April 12th, they’ll be discussing Chapter 5 at 7PM ET. They welcome readers around the world to join them, either by posting on the chat section of their page, or by sending in questions.
You can find their podcast here and listen to previous episodes. Feel free to share the link with others. They’re hosting a giveaway of two autographed copes of “The Raven” and five signed bookmarks. (Autographed by yours truly; the giveaway is open internationally)
All the best and thank you for reading,
SR
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. {
This is great, thank you for sharing them with us:)
Can’t wait for the next novel!
Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next novel!!
I love that fact that we share a name, and even more so, a love for Sylvain Reynard and his awesome writing
I enjoy reading your books. Thank you for writing such captivating stories.
It is a joy to wander the alleys of Florence with you. It is also a joy to read your words on your blog again. Between a book and the other we felt half orphans of your words, SR! Thank you for sharing your words, we appreciate each one with our minds and souls! A Blessed Holy Week, to you and yours! 🙂 Greetings from Brazil…
awaiting next novel!
Thank you SR for sharing
Thanks for sharing the photos and interesting graffiti. Is that the back of the Hotel Berchelli that faces the Orno by any chance? I love your new series and anxious for your exciting teases to be posted for the next episode. It took me longer to fall for the Prince…whereas in the Gabriel’s Inferno trilogy I fell in love with the Professor in the first chapter. I find the Prince and Gabriel have some things in common. Never stop writing, SR. :))

I really fell in love with the Gabriel trilogy, and I’m falling again for the mysterious William. I do so enjoy a good story, and yours are always well researched and satisfying to read. I love the twists and turns in this Gothic’Twilight’ for adults, so like the medieval streets the book is set in . I’m really looking forward to the next book !!
I am looking forward to the next novel. Everything you write is so intriguing and it is distressing when a story ends as I would like them to go on and on. Sometimes I stop reading for a while because I really don’t want the book to end.
Love the series. Waiting patiently for the next one.
Thank you Dear SR, for all your support… People can find us in Twitter: @GabrielSeriesFP to know more about the give-away…

Thank you so much for sharing with us such great news. Some time you should do a Little online Meeting with your worldwide fans so you can talk with us about your books. But this is only a suggestion as I know you are very careful to remain private and I certainly appreciate that. Now before I leave, I thank you deeply for all your wonderful creations, such hauntingly beautiful stories that change lives, I Just… Thank you! You should dedicate yourself the words from our beloved poet “And now your blessedness appears” (:
Lots of Love from Colombia.

Decir gracias no se si sea lo apropiado, leer la Trilogía Gabriel termina siendo contraproducente, para el resto de novelas, claro, que deben tratar de dar al menos al tobillo de Gabriel. Así que realmente ha hecho de nosotros los lectores algo más exigentes y selectivos. Yo le diría que leerlo es un placer para cada uno de los sentidos. Por eso espero la traducción de sus libros, que sin duda deben estar acompañados por un traje de cóctel, un buen vino y música. Usted es un placer señor
CAN’T WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT BOOK, i LOVE ALL OF YOUR BOOKS AND THEY ARE WELL WORTH THE WAIT. tHANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH US!
ciao Sylvain sono una tua fans dei tuoi libri ,volevo sapere se la nuova serie “The Prince”verrà tradotto in italiano,e quando sarà pubblicato. Ho letto e amato la trilogia di “Gabriel e Julia “una lettura che mi ha fatto battere il cuore per i personaggi,i luoghi ….in poche parole è stato un c capolavoro.aspetto con pazienza il prossimo . un abbraccio da Giovanna
Linda história ,ansiosa para a continuação de Noites em Florença ,amei a trilogia Inferno de Gabriel e com certeza essa não vai ser diferente …
Creo que usted es un escritor claramente excepcional, interesante, culto, atrapante y muy exquisito, su serie de Gabriel me fascino desde el principio y me hizo ahondar en muchos temas, recientemente viaje a Florencia y creo que me enamore de la ciudad, ya me había enamorado mediante las palabras de usted pero estar ahí fue impresionante. le agradezco por todo lo que brinda a sus lectores y espero su próxima historia con ansias.
Thanks for all the nice replies of GOE and you , hope we can have both again soon . Latín América is so excited about the books. If soneobe have the link for the postcast pls share it .Thanks a lot kisses from Lima Peru
I love and enjoy your novels so much. I am just about finished The Raven and cannot wait till you release the next one. Your writings have a wonderful level of detail about such wonderful pieces of history. You blend your characters into existing locales that are intriguing. Please keep writing. After tomorrow I will have read all your published works.
Thank you SR for taking me back to Florence. I only wish I’d had more time to explore the hidden nooks and crannies of that fascinating place. However, your novels have allowed that. Thank you again.

Can. Not. WAIT for the next book!! I lose myself in each book. Reading anything else wouldn’t even compare to how fantastic all of these books are!!
Hello,
I’ve read and listened to all of your books and I love them all.
When will the Prince be out on audiobook?
I hope John Morgan will be the narrator for the Prince as I love his voice and personality.
Good luck in your future endeavors. I can’t wait to read whatever you write next.
Sincerely your fan,
LeVette G. ♡
When do the next book come out
I read the Gabriel’s trilogy and fell in love with it, now I am reading the new one and love it
This summer I went to Florence and I was able to find places you describe in your books, beautiful city and great frame for your stories
