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!)

Hello Kristi,
Thanks for your kind words.
For the scene between Julia and Gabriel... it was the culmination of a lot of things in their history. Gabriel adores Julia the way Dante adores Beatrice. So that adoration had to be a central focus.
For the Florentine Series ... Florence is my favourite city. I've spent quite a bit of time there. At night, the city changes. There are lots of alleys and dark corners. And because the architecture is so interesting and so historical, it's easy to imagine supernatural beings sitting on roofs in the darkness surveying human happenings below. That's where the idea began - a being on top of the Duomo watching the city.
Thanks for reading and all the best, SR

Hello Mr. Reynard, I'm a huge fan of your writing, and anxiously waiting on 'The Raven". My question is will 'The Raven" be as romantic as The Gabriel Series? I'm also a huge fan of paranormal & romance, finding they are perfect together. Can you please tell me what made you decide to write this series? Solease

How was your reaction when you saw the official film poster of Gabriel's Inferno being similar to the book cover? As for me, when I saw I was like "Oh my goshhhhh!" And got chills and butterflies in my stomach to see a still or both Melanie & Giulio embracing together looks exactly like the original book cover! XoXoXo, Jayashina Parthiban,

Gabriel's Inferno appeared on my goodreads recommendations list. I was attracted by the word Inferno and the mention of Dante since I am an Italian/Roman culture lover and I had an Italian lit class where we talked and read Dante. My point is: How did you come up with the idea? What made you imagine (and which were) the first sparks of Gabriel's Inferno story line?
