Dear Sylvain, Thank you so much for writing such amazing book and making people fell in love with your stories:) My question is what inspired you in writing the names of the characters from the Florentine Series? Thank you! Ramona- Bucharest
Sylvain Reynard
Happy New Year, Ramona.
Thanks for your question.
One of my strategies was to choose names that were popular at the time the character was born - so, for example, I did some research on older Irish names and found Aoibhe. For Ibarra, I researched Basque first names, etc.
Raven named herself and so in that case, I thought about how she viewed herself and what she wanted to become.
Thanks for reading and all the best, SR

Will you ever write another book in the Florentine series? I binge-read all of them and now I feel bummed because there aren't anymore for me to read. I couldn't put them down! I would really like to see Aoibhe get her comeuppance. Are you planning a spin-off of this series? I read the Gabriel series as well. You're a wonderful writer.

So much I want to know.....lol -What inspired you for Julia's first time? What made you write Gabriel like that? (It was the perfect 'first'.) -Where did the inspiration come from for The Florentine Series? (I've always had a facination with the vampire world. The way you mixed that with romance....The best ever!)

Sylvain Reynard:
Why the deviation into the paranormal in a romantic and intense storyline? I understand the existence of paranormal existence ... having a few encounters personally ... but, reading paranormal stuff can trigger unwanted problems for many ... at least, for a book that wasn't paranormal (intensive, romantic and poetic) the deviation was quite unexpected ... Why did you opt for the paranormal side in the spin-off series?
