ps. Make sure you’ve pre-ordered Gabriel’s Redemption! I’ve read it and I can tell you it beyond delivers! Loved it!
Dear Everyone,
Back in September, I wrote a post in which I mentioned my next novel. I’m pleased to be able to give you more information now.
My next novel is the first in a new series, and it will be entitledย The Raven. ย With this novel, I’m asking you to pack your bags and travel with me to the city of Florence.ย The Gabriel Seriesย showed you the city during the day. ย This time, I’ll show you Florence’s underworld, which is ruled by creatures of the night โฆ
Here’s the formal announcement:
From theย New York Timesย bestselling author of the Gabriel Series comes a dark, sensual tale of romance in a city shrouded in mysteryโฆ
Raven Woodย spends her days atย Florenceโs Uffizi Gallery restoringย fine works of Renaissance art.ย But an innocent walk home after an evening with friends changes her life forever. When she intervenes in the senseless beating of a homeless man, his attackers turn on her, dragging her into an alley.ย Raven is only semi-conscious when their assault is interrupted by a cacophony of growls followed by her attackerโs screams.ย Mercifully, she blacks out, but not before catching a glimpse of a shadowy figure who whispers to her โฆ
Cassita vulneratus.
When Raven awakes, she is inexplicably changed.ย She returns to the Uffizi, but no one recognizes her and more disturbingly, she discovers that sheโs been absent an entire week.ย With no recollection of the events leading up to her disappearance, Raven also learns that her absence coincides with one of the largest robberies in Uffizi history โ the theft of a set of priceless Botticelli illustrations. When the baffled police force identifies her as its prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name. She seeks out one of Florenceโs wealthiest and elusive men in an attempt to uncover the truth about her disappearance.ย ย Their encounter leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to keep their secrets โฆ
As I mentioned in my September post, readers ofย Gabriel’s Redemptionย will be able to read an excerpt fromย The Ravenย at the end of both the paperback and e-book editions.
But what I didn’t mention was that one of the characters ofย The Ravenย appears inย Gabriel’s Redemption. ย Can you identify him or her? I welcome your guesses in the comments below and on social media.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that there’s a connection betweenย The Gabriel Seriesย and my new series – a connection that is more than simply me, or the city of Florence, or theย Uffizi Gallery. If you’ve read the cover copy above carefully, probably you’re beginning to guess the answer. But I’ll be explicit and state that we won’t be saying goodbye to the Professor and Julianne at the end ofย Gabriel’s Redemption.ย Look for them to have cameo appearances inย The Ravenย as well …
While I don’t have a release date forย The Ravenย yet, I hope to have one soon. This novel marks my transition from a contemporary love story to a paranormal one. I hope you’ll join me on this journey and that if you have friends and family who enjoy paranormal novels, you’ll help me share the news with them.
As we approach theย December 3rdย release date ofย Gabriel’s Redemptionย in North America, my American publisher has listed a giveaway of the novel on Goodreads. ย US entrants can enter the contest ย here.
And if you’d like to read a new excerpt fromย Gabriel’s Redemptionย and enter another contest, you can do soย here at Romance Times.
Finally, I want to wish everyone who is celebrating Thanksgiving this week a very happy holiday. I have much to be thankful for and in particular, I’m thankful for you, my readers.
All the best and thank you for your continued support,
SR
