Ellen Totten asked Sylvain Reynard:

I'm not sure if this was ever asked before, but do you create a story board and develop your characters before writing your novels? You have a talent for making your characters real. I equate Gabriel with Mr. Darcy and believe Professor Gabriel O. Emerson will live on just as Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy has. Thank you, Ellie

Sylvain Reynard Thank you Ellie.
I really appreciate your kind words.

I don't have a story board but I work from an outline. Also, I do a lot of local research when I write.

All the best and Happy Holidays,
SR
