Listening to the Professor

Dear Everyone,

I'm pleased to report that audiobooks of both Gabriel's Inferno and Gabriel's Rapture will be released September 27th.

I hope that you'll enjoy listening to the Professor, but as a reader reminded me, it might be best not to listen to him while driving or operating heavy machinery. (Ahem)

I'm also pleased to report that both novels are on the New York Times' bestseller's list again this week.

Thank you for yours support and thank you for telling your friends and family about these books. Word of mouth is important for authors.

Finally, I hope to be able to share with you details on my current writing project soon.

All the best,
SR

New York Times Bestseller List

Dear Everyone,



I'm pleased to announce that "Gabriel's Inferno" is #14 on the New York Times Trade Paperback list, #15 on the ebook list, and #12 on the combined print/ebook list.  "Gabriel's Rapture" is #27 on the ebook extended list. This marks the first time that Rapture has made the list.



So allow me to thank you for your support of my writing. Thank you for reading and for telling your friends, families, and Book Clubs about the books. I'm working on something that I believe will show my appreciation to you. I hope to be able to say more about that soon.



In the meantime, I'm pleased to announce that Penguin Australia has just released their versions of my novels. They should go on sale today.  Penguin UK has already released the ebook versions of both books, with paperback editions to be released shortly.



All the best everyone and thank you for reading,



SR

Dear Everyone,

Finally, I'm pleased to report that a Japanese translation of both novels is forthcoming. This is in edition to the Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, and Russian translations that are also in the works.

I'm told the books are also available in some grocery stores and on Target.com and Walmart.com. Thanks for letting me know when you see the novels.



All the best and thanks everyone for your patience and support,

Viva Italia!

Dear Everyone,



I want to thank you for your continued support of me and my writing. Because of your enthusiasm, my novels will be translated into Hungarian, Turkish, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and now ... Italian.



Yes, Casa Editrice Nord has acquired the Italian language rights to both books. As you know, I have a deep appreciation for Italian history and culture. So it's with tremendous joy that I make this announcement.



I'll be adding a section to this site so that readers can find information about the International editions of my work.



Don't forget that the paperback Berkley versions of "Gabriel's Inferno" and "Gabriel's Rapture" officially release 4 September, but are on sale on Amazon.com and in some bookstores now. Audiobook versions of both books are forthcoming, release date to be announced.



All the best and thanks for reading,

SR

Writing

Dear Everyone,

I want to thank you for your support of my writing. I'm working on a project at the moment and I hope to be able to tell you a little bit more about it soon. In the meantime, know that it is much, much easier to write knowing that I am writing for such great people. Thank you.

I'm also pleased to note that my publisher, Berkley, has entered into agreements with publishers in Spain, Brazil, Turkey and Russia to have both of my novels translated. Once again, I'm so pleased that those of you from those nations and beyond will be able to read my work in your own language.

All the best,
SR

Around the World

Dear Everyone,



It has been a great pleasure for me to hear from readers around the world. I mentioned in a previous post that it was my hope that readers would be able to read my novels in their own language. I'm happy to announce that that will be the case for some of you.



Berkley, my publisher, has sold the foreign language rights for both "Gabriel's Inferno" and "Gabriel's Rapture" to Spain. This means that Spanish translations of both books are forthcoming.



I wanted to say a word to my Spanish-speaking readers. You have been some of my strongest supporters and I am so pleased to be able to announce this good news. As more information becomes available, I'll share it with you.  Other foreign translations are also in the works.



I'm also pleased to report that "Gabriel's Inferno" is #35 on the New York Times Bestsellers List (Ebook/Fiction) and continues to climb the charts of the USAToday Bestsellers List. Thank you for your continued support.



Finally, I wish to tell you that I'm writing. I should be able to say more about that soon, but know that I write for you, my readers. Thank you for your continued support.



All the best and thanks for reading,



SR
