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

Dear Everyone,
If you've read Gabriel's Rapture, then you probably remember the narrator referring to Kitchen Table Sex as the holy grail of domestic coupling. (Ahem)
The Rock Stars of Romance website is hosting the infamous Kitchen Table Outtake from Gabriel's Rapture, in which Gabriel and Julia discover the holy grail of domestic coupling. You can read the outtake here. They're also hosting a contest in which you can enter to win signed copies of my books. The contest is open internationally.
Feel free to share the link with friends, especially those who are new to my writing. I appreciate the support. I should mention that the book Gabriel refers to is "Kosher Sex" by Shmuley Boteach. You can find my review of it on Goodreads.
A number of different outtakes, excerpts, and interviews were posted this week on various websites, including Barnes and Noble.com. Check previous posts here on my website for the details and links.
All the best and thanks for reading,

The Professor tells a story from his Oxford days
Dear Everyone,
The Professor was invited by the Fictional Boyfriends Facebook page to take over their account for an hour on November 3rd. During that time, he shared a story from his days at Magdalen College, Oxford University.
Several readers contacted me asking if I would post the story, because they didn't have Facebook accounts. So I'm posting the story here, with thanks to Fictional Boyfriends for hosting a very enjoyable discussion. You can find their page (and the Professor's remarks) here.
Here is the Professor's account, in his own words:
A number of years ago, when I was doing a
Master’s degree at Oxford University, I was walking with two of my friends toward
Magdalen College. It was after
last call at our favourite pub. We were slightly inebriated but cheerful as we
wandered down High Street toward our beds.
Just as we were passing an alley next to
All Souls College, I noticed a couple kissing in the shadows. Being somewhat of
a voyeur, I stopped to watch.
Unfortunately, my friend Nigel didn’t
notice that I’d stopped and so he bumped into the back of me.
“Watch where you’re going!” He cursed a
couple of times, before noticing that my attention had been drawn elsewhere.
Our collective gazes fixed on the couple. The man was pressing a blonde woman
against a wall. At first, I thought their kiss was consensual. But when she
turned her face to the side and began pushing him away, I realized it wasn’t.
In response, the man swore and pulled her
hair, jerking her head back. She
cried out in pain.
I moved toward them but Nigel took hold of
my arm. “Not a good idea, Emerson.”
I shrugged him off. “He’s roughing her up.”
“Probably her partner. You don’t want to
get involved.”
“Fuck that.” I turned toward the
alley. “Hey, jackass!”
The man glanced in my direction. “Piss
off.”
He continued to pull the woman’s hair and I
could hear her speaking to him in a low voice, begging him to let her go.
“You knew I was talking to you. A
remarkable show of intelligence for a jackass.” I drew myself up to my full
height of six foot, two inches. The man was larger than me, taller, and
probably outweighed me by a good fifty pounds. But I never backed down from a
challenge.
“Here we go,” my friend, Clive, muttered.
The man grabbed the woman’s arm, pulling
her behind him. “I said piss off.”
“Make me.” I moved in his direction.
“Come on, Emerson. I think one arrest a
term is enough.” Clive spoke, before exchanging a worried look with Nigel.
“I’m just going to make sure she’s all
right.” I made eye contact with the woman, who was much younger than I had
thought, and flashed a smile. “Hello, love. Everything okay?”
The man’s grip on her tightened. “Let’s go.” He tried to drag her farther into the
alley, but she planted her feet.
“I don’t want to go with him. Help me.” Her voice was low and worried,
her expression panicked.
I took a step forward and clenched my fists. “Now would be a good time to let her go
and be on your way.”
“Sod off.” The man wrenched her arm behind her back. She cried
out in pain.
“Right. I tried speaking to you nicely, now
I’m going to have to teach you a lesson.” I took another step and since my
friends were, in fact, my friends, they followed. “Let her go.”
“Make me.” The man grinned maniacally, gripping the woman
even more tightly.
I shook my head. “Now you’re just being stubborn. But because I’m a patient
person, I’ll let you rethink your decision. Let the lady go, and I won’t hurt
you.”
The man turned away from us and began dragging
the woman toward Radcliffe Camera.
I sighed, before walking after them. I took
no more than three steps before the man whirled around and swung his fist in
the general direction of my head.
Luckily, I ducked.
Although I was drunk, I wasn’t stupid, so
when I came up, I punched him in the stomach. As a result, he let go of the woman
and doubled over.
Like a gentleman, I proceeded to insult him,
his parentage, and his mother, while waiting for him to catch his breath.
Unfortunately, I waited a little too
long. He straightened and managed
to clip my chin with his knuckles.
I went back a foot and rubbed my jaw.
“That was mistake,” I growled.
When he took another swing at me, I planted
my feet and hit his nose with my right and his jaw with my left. He fell on his ass, screaming in pain
like a little girl. I took this
opportunity to give him a swift kick to the ribs, just to ensure that he wouldn’t
get up.
At this point, Nigel peered down at the
man, who was now writhing in pain and spitting blood. He placed his foot in the general
proximity of the man’s genitalia.
“Don’t even think about it,” he whispered.
The man simply groaned.
Nigel removed his foot and rubbed his hands
together. “Well, that’s done and
dusted. Shall we?”
I looked beyond him to where the young
woman was standing, noticing that she had a hand over her mouth and looked as
if she were about to burst into tears.
I lifted my arms in an expression of
surrender. “We aren’t going to
hurt you. You can be on your way and or we can help you hire a taxi.”
“I was on my way home.” She spoke with an
American accent, her voice shaking. “I was out with a friend, but we got
separated.”
She glanced down at
her assailant. “He followed me from the pub and – grabbed
me.”
“We can escort you, if you like. Or you can
walk ahead of us.” I gestured toward the High Street.
She nodded and approached us cautiously. “Um, I’m at Magdalen.”
“So are we.” Nigel smiled.
“You’re American.” She gave me an appraising look.
“From Pennsylvania.”
“Minnesota,” she replied.
“Pleased to meet you, although it’s under
unfortunate circumstances.” I
extended my hand. “Gabriel Emerson.”
“Thank you for coming to my rescue,
Gabriel.” She stepped forward
hesitantly, then shook my hand. Her touch was feather light and warm.
“And your name?” I smiled, for she was very
pretty.
She looked up into my eyes. “Paulina.”

And I'm pleased to announce that there will be an Audiobook that you can preorder through Audible.com.
If your language isn't listed, don't despair. I'm hopeful other languages will be added shortly.
As I mentioned in a previous post, Berkley/Penguin will be including an excerpt from my next novel at the end of "Gabriel's Redemption" in the American and Canadian editions. I am hopeful that international editions will include the excerpt as well, but that decision will be made by the respective publishers. I will keep you posted as information becomes available.
All the best and thank you for your continued support,

A Sneak Peek at My Next Novel
Dear Everyone,
As many of you know, last year I signed a contract with Berkley/Penguin for three books: Gabriel's Redemption and two other novels.
When I finished Gabriel's Redemption, I began writing my next book. I'm pleased to say that it's coming along nicely and I look forward to sharing it with you. In fact, I hope that you enjoy it as much as the Gabriel series.
Because I'd already begun working on the next book by the time Redemption was being sent to the typesetter, I was able to approach my publisher and ask if an excerpt from the new book could be included at the end of Redemption. I'm pleased to announce that my publisher said yes.
So when you purchase either an e-book or a paperback copy of Gabriel's Redemption, you'll be receiving an excerpt from my next book in the same volume.
And don't forget, that if you preorder Gabriel's Redemption, the Professor would like to give you a gift. You can read more about those gifts here.
If you're a Book Blogger, you can sign up to be part of the Book Blog Tour for Gabriel's Redemption here. There are going to be some tour wide giveaways, sponsored by the Professor, himself. More details forthcoming.
All the best, everyone, and thank you for your continued support,
