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 Prince, The Raven and EL James
Happy New Year, Everyone.
2015 promises to be a great year.
Yes, E L James and I have written something short together. It isn’t a novel but something that I think that readers will enjoy.
Details to be announced soon.
Some of you know already that she and I have been friends for several years. I’d like to acknowledge that friendship and mention that Miss James is very, very busy with her forthcoming film and her own writing, but she was generous and gracious enough to be involved in this small project with me. And for that, I’m very grateful.
“The Prince,” which is the prequel novella to my new Florentine series, releases January 20th. It’s available for pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, KOBO, iTunes, and other major booksellers.
“The Raven,” which is the first novel in my new series, releases February 3rd. It’s also available for pre-order. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, KOBO, iTunes, Booktopia and Bookworld
The audiobook for “The Raven” will be released February 3rd on Audible. I’m proud to announce that John Michael Morgan, the talented reader of The Gabriel Series audiobooks, has recorded “The Raven,” as well. I’m looking forward to listening to him.
If you’d like an autographed paperback copy of “The Raven,” you can order one from Pages bookstore in Manhattan Beach, California. They ship worldwide.
Not to be outdone, The Professor has arranged it so that The Gabriel Series is now featured over on Binge Reads. This book club is a great way to introduce new readers to The Professor. Please stop by to say hello or to ask a question.
I’ll be taking over the Paranormal Book Club’s Facebook page in order to chat with readers on January 23rd from 8-9PM ET.
And I’ll be chatting on Twitter January 28th from 8PM-9PM ET about “The Raven.” Use hashtag: #RavenChat http://ow.ly/i/8b3M1
Once the blog tours for “The Prince” and “The Raven” being, there will be giveaways and contests. Please stay tuned.
I hope that your 2015 is filled with health, happiness, and joy.
Let your light shine in the darkness.
Peace,
SR.
