Interview with Sylvain Reynard - Part V

Dear Everyone,



Since "Gabriel's Inferno" and "Gabriel's Rapture" entered USA Today's Bestseller list last week, they've each been afforded a page on the USA Today website.



Here's the link for a description and reviews of "Inferno:"  http://books.usatoday.com/book/sylvain-reynard-gabriels-inferno/l47145



Here's the link for a description and reviews of "Rapture:"  http://books.usatoday.com/book/sylvain-reynard-gabriels-rapture/l47258





What follows is the fifth and final instalment of my interview with Serendipitous, a long time reader. Her words are in bold below:

























You’ve
posted teasers for "Gabriel's Rapture" on several blogs, including your own.  Is
there any other information you can give us about it?




 “Gabriel’s
Rapture” was released 22 May 2012. Here is the summary: 




Professor
Gabriel Emerson has embarked on a passionate, yet clandestine affair with his
former student, Julia Mitchell.




Sequestered
on a romantic holiday in Italy, he tutors her in the sensual delights of the
body and the rapture of sex. But when they return, their happiness is
threatened by conspiring students, academic politics, and a jealous ex-lover.




When
Gabriel is confronted by the university administration, will he be forced to
share Dante’s fate? Or will he fight to keep Julia, his Beatrice, forever?







Since
the publication of “Gabriel’s Inferno,” you’ve been actively advocating on
behalf of charitable work.  You promote different charities on Twitter
every day, and you encourage your readers to volunteer or otherwise
donate.  What inspired you to promote these good causes?




Several causes are charities I’ve supported for years. Some of them are
newer charities that I was introduced to through my readers. In all cases, my
goal is simply to encourage charitable giving and volunteerism and to encourage
my readers to do the same through their social media accounts. Working together we can make a difference.










And now for something
completely different: a short list of your favorites...




Season?  Fall

Holiday?  Christmas

Pair of shoes?  Black,
made by Florentines

Movie?  I
think today it’s “Casablanca.”

Quote/saying?  Angelfucker.

Time of day?  Morning.

Snack?  Pain
au chocolat

Sport/recreational pastime?  Hockey.




I'd like to thank Serendipitous once again for conducting the interview. It was a pleasure.




For my Canadian readers, I should mention that "Gabriel's Rapture" is now available on Amazon.ca and Chapters.ca.




Also, a group of readers have put together a Twitter account for readers to share information, photos, music, art, etc., related to the books. You can find them here.




Thank you for your continued support and for telling your friends and family about the novels. I truly appreciate it.  All the best,




SR
