Welcome to the Underworld
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

“The Raven” has Landed
Dear Everyone,
I’m pleased to announce that my new book, “The Raven,” was released today. It’s available in ebook, paperback, and audiobook from Amazon, iTunes, Barnesandnoble.com, Chapters, and KOBO.
I hope you enjoy it.
Take time for beauty …
Here is a link to Botticelli’s “Primavera,” which is exhibited in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. “Primavera” plays an important role in “The Raven.” And it holds more than one mystery.
All the best and thank you for joining me on this journey back to Florence,
SR

A visit to Florence with EL James
Dear Everyone,
As I mentioned in a previous post, EL James and I recently collaborated on a short project. Miss James has posted it on her website: http://blog.eljamesauthor.com/?p=1088.
Victoria from Ruffles and Restraints has contributed a painting to our short story, which you can view over on Miss James’ site.
Thank you EL and Victoria for working on this project with me. It was a lot of fun.
I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for reading,
SR

The Prince, The Raven and EL James
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.
