Photo contest winners

Hi everyone, Enn here, SR's PR / Contest Guru



Below are the winners from the David Gandy vs. Henry Cavill Twitter photo challenge.



You guys, I can't even describe how awesome you all are. You NAILED it.



You not only found the perfect photos, many of you described the scenes to which they fit and I was literally blown away.  What started out as a dozen winners turned into, well, see below.



I'm going to do something like this again SO STAY TUNED. Next time it'll be with more structure and we'll have it voted on by you but that'll be in March. 



@SylvainReynard on Twitter or me @ennbocci on Twitter



For those interested in how I picked. Many of you sent in the same photos so to be fair I put your names in a hat and let my mother (who is a new fan of both gentlemen) choose the winner. 



For February, don't forget that Gabriel himself has done some shopping for his lovely ladies and let me tell you, he did a great job. I think you'll be pleased.



The contest information for "Gabriel's Valentine" will be up soon.





Onto the winners, if your name is below, please email me with your mailing address to get your treats. Please allow a few weeks, especially those not in the USA. PUT "TWITTER WINNER" in the subject and PLEASE list your Twitter handle so I can match you guys up.



All the best, and get ready for more Gabriel's Inferno / Rapture / 3rd novel goodies coming soon!





Random order... (PS Gandy was the landslide winner though Cavill made me a believer. Holy Moly)

"O Inferno de Gabriel" x Dois

Dear Everyone,



I'm pleased to announce that there are two different Portuguese versions of my novel, "Gabriel's Inferno."  Both versions share the title "O Inferno de Gabriel," but each version has a different cover.



One version, by Saida de Emergencia, is now on sale in Portugal and online.



The second version, by Editora Arqueiro, goes on sale Februrary 14 in Brazil and online.

(Just in time for Valentine's Day)



I'm in the process of doing interviews with journalists in bloggers in both Portugal and Brazil. I'll be posting links to these interviews on Twitter and Facebook.



Translations into Italian, French, Russian, Hebrew, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Croatian, Polish, Greek, Czech, and Japanese are forthcoming.



All the best and Obrigado,

SR.

Shorty Awards 2013

Dear Everyone,



I was surprised to learn that a group of readers had nominated me for a Shorty award in recognition of my promotion of various charities and humanitarian organizations through Twitter and social media.



What are the Shorty Awards?  The following is from their website:



"The Shorty Awards honor the best in social media; recognizing the people and organizations producing real-time short content across Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Foursquare and the rest of the social web."






You can learn more about the awards here.



And you you can vote for me (or anyone else) 


I want to thank the members of Argyle Empire, along with the other readers who nominated and voted for me. Your support means a great deal.



If you want to network with other readers, plus read posts related to my writing and the topics covered in my novel, you'll want to visit Argyle Empire.



I'm pleased to announce that "El Infierno de Gabriel," the Spanish translation of "Gabriel's Inferno," has reached #36 in the Amazon.es Kindle store.



All the best and thank you for reading,



SR

El Infierno de Gabriel





Hola a todos,



Estoy muy complacido de anunciar el lanzamiento de la versión en español de mi novela "Gabriel's Inferno" ("El Infierno de Gabriel") por Editorial Esencia. Muchos de vosotros me habéis escrito durante estos años pidiendo una traducción al español. De hecho, la comunidad hispano hablante ha mostrado un apoyo extremadamente fiel a mi y a mis obras. Estoy muy contento de anunciar que ahora tendréis la oportunidad de leer el libro en vuestra propia lengua. 





Podéis adquirir el libro aquí y aquíaquí. También podéis encontrar las cuentas de Facebook y Twitter aquí.



Mis mejores deseos y gracias por leer,



SR

PS. Many thanks to Ana for helping me write this message in Spanish. And a special thank you to Editorial Esencia and Lara Agnelli, the translator, for preparing the Spanish edition.

Portuguese Translation

Dear Everyone,



Happy New Year.



Editora Arqueiro, the Brazilian publisher who is translating my novels into Portuguese, has put together a press release announcing the February release of "O Inferno de Gabriel." 



They will be releasing the Portuguese translation of the sequel in July.



As more information becomes available, I'll post it here.



For those waiting for the Spanish translation of my novels, "El Infierno de Gabriel" is already available for pre-order as an e-book and as a paperback.  The book will also be for sale in both formats on Amazon.es on January 10.



Many of you have been asking for an update on the third book in the series. Although I don't have a release date yet, I have good news related to the project that I'll be able to announce soon.



All the best and thanks for reading,



SR

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, Everyone.



Once again, I'd like to thank you for your support. Thank you for reading and for telling others about my novels.



Thank you for taking the time to write to me to let me know what you thought of the books.



Thank you for subscribing to this site, allowing me to share news about my current and future writing projects.



As we look forward to a new year, I'd like to share a piece I wrote as a flashback to one of Professor Emerson's past New Year's Eves.  You can read it here.



A group of my readers have banded together under the banner of Argyle Empire. You can find playlists for my novels, links to other posts, and other information on their site.



For 2013 and beyond, I wish you happiness, friendship, and peace.



All the best and thank you for reading,



SR

PS. I hope to release another teaser for Gabriel Book 3 soon. Writing continues to move along nicely, but we don't have a release date and the book is not available for pre-order yet.

Happy Holidays from the Snarky Narrator

Dear Everyone,



I've heard from many of you about the Snarky Narrator of Gabriel's Inferno and Gabriel's Rapture. I'm glad that you enjoy reading him as much as I enjoy writing him.



I was surprised and pleased when Tamie of the Bookish Temptations book blog asked if the Snarky Narrator would be willing to be interviewed. Of course, he was delighted.



(Parenthetically, it should be noted that his massive ego believes that it's time for him to take away some of the limelight from the Professor)



You can read the interview here.



I'll be writing more interviews and guest posts in 2013. In fact, the Professor is penning a guest post on the Fresh Fiction Blog for New Year's.  You can also find these announcements on Facebook and Twitter.



All the best for a happy and healthy 2013,

SR

Happy Holidays

Dear Everyone,



2012 was an incredible year.



"Gabriel's Rapture" released in May. Over the summer, both of my novels were picked up by Berkley press, a division of Penguin. The audiobooks were released in the fall and John Michael Morgan, the narrator, brought the novels to life.



I've entered into an agreement with Berkley to write three books.  The first book is the third novel in the Gabriel series. I'm writing it now and should have a release date for it soon.  The second and third books for Berkley are on subjects to be announced.  I'm looking forward to writing them and to sharing details about them with you.



Thank you for your support. You are the reason why 2012 has been such a great year.



Happy Holidays and Happy New Year,

SR
