From all of us muses at Argyle Empire (and beyond), Coco, Mango, Cran, and Iris want to wish SR all of our love and support. Thank You SR for breeding Kindness, Love, Redemption, Gratitude, and Appreciation. We can't help but catch the flame of your spirit and want to be more kind, charitable, humble, and snarky just like our author! You inspire us daily through your writing and your daily tweeting and messages through social media. You do little to promote yourself so we gladly take a part in spreading the word about your books and the causes you do promote on a regular basis. Every Sunday you tell readers "Peace be with you." ✌ Peace be with you as well dear author and friend!!!!

PS: That was so much fun! Cran And Iris actually talked to the point of having to be cut off. ;-)

Here are the questions they asked us to prepare with Iris's answers and I'll add Cran's soon!

Activities for the party.

- When did you discover and read his books?
I discovered SR's writing around March 2010 and the muse Iris was born. I read GI for the first time the first second I could get my hands on it whenever jut was first published by Omnifics in the Spring of 2011. GI and GRa came out quickly. Shortly after this The first rendition of Argyle Empire was born around August 2011 . We were @TheGISeriesFans on Twitter then, started by four of his original muses, Coco (it was her idea) Mango Cran and Iris. That Fall Berkley publishing picked up his books and they were re-released and he announced he would write a 3rd book in the series for his fans. GRe then came out. I have several copies of each book he has written, some signed and some with signed book plates. And one very special GI that is my muse copy. That was Cran's idea to use it as a year book of sorts when the muses gathered together.

- How long did it take you to read the first book/series?
I was reading it as it was being written. I believe the first 20-30 chapters were up when My elder sis turned me on to FF and his was o R of the first 4 stories I read and caught up to. He was alway very regular about his posting schedule. Teaser Tuesday, and Saturday 9:00 AM EST (6:00 AM my PST) it was the highlight of our week.
When he announced he was going to try to get the story published the idea came with mixed reviews but I was alway a supporter of the idea. It was so exciting. I read them all ASAP they were released. And I have all renditions, print versions, kindle versions and audible versions.
As I said some signed some not.

-What have you learned from the SR?
SR is as much if not more of a teacher than his Professor and his Julia are. I have learned so much from him. His generous, kind, humble, charitable nature is contagious. You can't help to want to Lear from him, fall to your feet, or rather stool ;-) and just get ready for story time with SR. He is such a gifted story teller. I admire his ability to remain a bit of a ghost. Disappearing into his fox den, down the rabbit hole, beamed up by the tractor beams, into a wardrobe and to a portal to Middle earth, and I respect his privacy. This doesn't keep me from wondering about his mystery. I often think of the Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis film "Pump Up The Volume." In the film Christian is Mark, who runs a pirate radio station. Nora is his biggest fan, and as she listens, she adds details about Mark on a poster on her bedroom wall. It reminds me of how I feel about SR.

- How has reading and interacting with the Boss SR changed your life?

He is like the older brother I never had and I'm proud to be a part of the SR Fan Family. Because that is truly what his stories has created. A world wide family of readers. I'm an academic myself, but for the beginning of life. I'm an early interventionist and I work with kids from birth-3years old. I love learning from SR. And he truly has added to my life and has made me a life long learner and a lifetime reader. I truly wasn't that before. My learning disability makes it difficult to read. I'm still slow and I can't spell well. I was one that would wait for the film. But when I finished my Masters, I was finally ready to read for pleasure and that has grown in this community. I never thought I would be a contemporary romance fan, but here I am! The greatest gift SR has given me is this community. I love the muses and fellow fans I have met both online and some
In real life. I gladly contour to promote his and other independent authors.

- Using 3 words for each, how would you describe the Boss and his books?
SR- Kind, Humble, Charitable
GI- Flame, Dragon, Maia
GRa-love, miscommunication, soul-searching
GRe-redemption, life partners, family
the Prince- connection, underworld, bridge
The Raven- transformation, Inner beauty, reawaken
The Shadow- darkness, protection revenge
The Roman ???

-5 Reasons you love SR aka the Boss.
He's a talented writer and storyteller and I love reading him.

He is charitable, spiritual, humble, generous, and kind

He appreciates and listens to his readers and fans

He has been able to keep his identity protected and private. I respect that.

He is an inspiration to his fans and other aspiring authors

The Shadow Resease Day! February 2, 2016


We are so excited that the day is finally here!
SR's The Shadow that has been lurking has now arrived and is coming out of the darkness.


(picture edit by Iris~Elli)

The Shadow Synopsis:
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Gabriel trilogy comes the hotly anticipated follow-up to The Raven, a sensual novel set in Florence featuring the dangerously intoxicating coupling of Raven and William…

Raven Wood’s vampyre prince has returned, pledging his love and promising justice for every wrong done to her. In the wake of their reunion, Raven is faced with a terrible decision—allow the Prince to wreak vengeance against the demons of her past, or persuade him to stay his hand. But there is far more at stake than Raven’s heart...

A shadow has fallen over the city of Florence. Ispettor Batelli will not rest until he uncovers Raven’s connection to the theft of the priceless art from the Uffizi Gallery. And while the Prince hunts a traitor who sabotages him at every turn, he finds himself the target of the vampyres’ mortal enemy.

As he wages a war on two fronts, he will need to keep his love for Raven secret, or risk exposing his greatest weakness...

I love that SR opens with a dedication of thanks to his teachers. In my heart SR has the spirit of a teacher not just that of a writer. He has taught me so much through his writing and I admire his dedication to charity and bringing kindness and humor to the world. It makes me think of my teachers, my father, my favorite teacher, and I appreciate it as a teacher myself. ~ Iris~Elli~
