Dear Everyone,
Allow me to begin this new post by thanking you. Thank you for reading and for supporting my writing. Thank you for telling your friends and family about these stories. And thank you for your support of the organizations and charities that are important to me. Your generosity and good will is much appreciated.
I'm pleased to report that my first novel, "Gabriel's Inferno," is #35 on the New York Times Bestsellers List, (Ebook/Fiction).
I am also pleased to report that both books, "Gabriel's Inferno" and "Gabriel's Rapture," will be published by Berkley Publishing, a division of Penguin. E-book versions of both novels will go on sale this week under the Berkley imprint, with trade paperbacks to follow in the coming months. I anticipate that audiobooks and translations of these volumes will be forthcoming.
Under Berkley, both titles will receive wider distribution, especially in bookstores around the world. This will provide easier access to current and future readers. I enjoy interacting with readers from around the world and am eager for you to be able to read these books in your own language.
There is no author without readers. So once again, please accept my gratitude and my recognition that these events are occasioned by you and your support.
All the best,
SR

Dear Everyone,
Because of your support, "Gabriel's Inferno" is #101 on the USAToday Bestselling list and "Gabriel's Rapture" is #136. Thank you.
I enjoy hearing from readers, especially about their work with various charities. Recently, a reader shared with me the fact that her choir was raising money for the Kinamba Project. The Kinamba project is a primary school for children in Rwanda who cannot afford to school. Relying on donations, they provide everything necessary for the children, including food. Some of the children receive their primary nutrition from the school, because their families are in poverty. Some of the children are suffering with HIV/Aids.
This project is an attempt to provide aid and education in a country that was torn apart by genocide. You can find out more about Kinamba on their website. Please consider giving.
Another reader contacted me about a fundraiser she is involved in for To Write Love On her Arms. This organization provides support to those suffering from depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. They also provide financial support for medical care and treatment. The organization began with this story.
In addition to the poetry of the story, I was struck by the contrast behind the desperation of a woman writing hateful things about her self on her own skin, versus the act of writing words of love on those same arms. Replace the self-loathing with love. Please consider giving.
All the best, everyone, and thank you for your continued support,
SR
