Coffee House Friday

Sylum's Coffee House Image

So today is also Book DAY!

Book Day is an awesome day if you ask me!

So do you have physical books? Kindle Books? Audio Books? All of the above?

I have my kindle and audible which I love both dearly.  Both are great for the metro on way to work, or just a quiet break at lunch.

And as a quick reminder!  If you haven’t, pick up my books at Amazon and put them on your kindle!  If you have picked them up – please leave a review it’s very helpful to get the book seen by others.

Sylum Inspiration: Mac Taylor

Sylum: Hunter

As the Afternoon Fic is finished and now in a full edit before release during Advent – I figured to post the new bios for this month’s Sylum Inspiration.


Mac Taylor was born and raised in Chicago.  His parents David & Kristen both worked, and provided him with a good childhood.

He was mostly raised by his Uncle Dan Taylor, a Vietnam Veteran.  He learned a lot about life, and ended up following his footsteps and joined the US Marine Corps.  After boot camp he learned that his uncle had passed, leaving him everything.   Not needing the money at the time, he set up charities in his uncles name, and set some aside.

Once he left the Marine Corps he joined the NYPD – working his way up to Lieutenant in the Crime Scene Unit. He met Claire and the two married and settled into life in New York.

Mac lost his wife Claire in the 9/11 attacks. He threw himself into his work, avoiding feeling anything. The only one who stayed close to him was his friend and colleague Stella Bonasara.

His Uncle had told him about Vampires, having fought with a unique group during the war.   So when he arrived at Daniel Messer’s home to the scene of Sonny Sassone Turning the young man, he reacted instantly.

Lucky for him Erik Brooks (Blade) was pursing Sonny and finished Daniel’s Turning.

Less than 24 hours later, Mac was Turned and Mated to Danny.

Sylum Inspiration: Ellen Kaye

 

Ellen is the daughter of an influential family, that has been in the House of Lords for generations.   She opted out of being a politician instead work behind the scenes influence others on how they should vote.

Raised a Templar she believed in what their mission.  The only time she went against the Order, was when she married Alan Rikkin, and the two had their daughter, Sofia.  When the pressure became too much, she agreed to divorce Alan, and then distance herself from her family, only to watch from afar as her daughter grew into an intelligent and beautiful woman.

When the Assassins killed her daughter, she learned there was more to this old feud that she had ever known.
