What can I say? I fell in love with The Professor when I began reading Gabriel's Inferno. I had never heard of Sylvain Reynard and decided to take a chance on the book because it sounded intriguing. I'm so glad I did. Gabriel's Redemption concludes the story of Gabriel Emerson and Julia Mitchell. Happily married to his Juliana, Gabriel is ready to embark on the next step and begin a family with Julia. This brings about his need to find out more about his birth family so they know if there is any medical history they need to be concerned with. While Julia wants to start a family, she's not ready now as she is knee deep in her graduate studies and feels she will have to put her dream of becoming a Dante specialist aside. Gabriel's Redemption is an emotion-filled story that brings us into Gabriel and Julia's life as a married couple and their struggles with deciding when to start a family, Gabriel's search for his family, an ex-boyfriend and a vindictive former student. A fantastic conclusion to the series, I highly recommend it if you want a great read that will pull you in with every page.
I'm interested in the way literature can help us explore aspects of the human condition - particularly suffering, sex, love, faith, and redemption. My favourite stories are those in which a character takes a journey, either a physical journey to a new and exciting place, or a personal journey in which he or she learns something about himself/herself.
I'm also interested in how aesthetic elements such as art, architecture, and music can be used to tell a story or to illuminate the traits of a particular character. In my writing, I combine all of these elements with the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the transformative power of goodness.
I try to use my platform as an author to raise awareness about the following charities: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation, WorldVision, Alex's Lemonade Stand, and Covenant House. For more information, see my Twitter account.
