Now that I’ve got your attention.
Yes! I am promoting my book.
I want to get the word out to as many people as possible.
Last time I checked there are actually 699 of you that subscribe to this blog, which I’m guessing is because you enjoy Sylum and the stories. You’ve stuck with me and Sylum for 12 years, followed me from Geocities, the Yahoo Group, Livejournal and some of you are new and have made your way here via Tumblr. You’ve enjoyed hours of entertainment, so all I’m asking is your support and help with this latest adventure.
Love Bytes has also put out a New Book of the Week Poll. If you’ve bought and read the story – click the link and vote for Conversations! If haven’t … read the review, buy the book, and vote in the Poll! It ends this Friday!
Come on guys – help a General out.

Conversations in Real Time by Nicholas J. Finch
Beginning with a series of emails sent back and forth between the UK and the USA, this novella is the story of how two men, one a Los Angeles detective and the other an Oxford research student, find themselves drawn to each other despite leading very different lives on opposite sides of the world.
Their relationship starts with a professional offer of assistance and through instant messaging, texting and phone calls they invade each others’ lonely and yet busy days, learning about themselves and slowly falling in love as they discover they both need something from the other until they finally get a meeting face to face and can get up close and personal.

In the meantime … Clan War is getting wrapped up. Stories are being prepped for Advent. There’s a Dragon story in the works. And at some time I may actually get some sleep. So many bunnies so little time. Bob has been having a field day.
Yes it is that time again.
Advent is just around the corner, I’m not even sure where the year went. No really I’m not.
I’m again sending out the call, *poking*, pleading, COME ON GUYS! There are over 1000 characters in the Sylum Wiki, not all of them are being used in stories or have stories. Join us crazy people who do this every year! Write a story, doesn’t have to be epic, small time stamp is good. Produce artwork, either drawn or digital – could be for characters, a particular story, clan, Bob. Fanmix – put together a list of songs for a character, story or clan.
There are many great opportunities to participate!
Sylum Advent s is our Annual Winter Event. It will start on December 1st and go through to Boxing Day, December 26th. It will focus on Sylum Stories, but we also accept Sylum Art, fanmix, and videos. It’s not uncommon to see stories that are set up that will relate to major Arcs.
You will need to sign up and state what your interested in doing.
REMINDER: All Sylum Stories will need to be approved by Bj Jones – It’s not difficult to work with me for storyline. I’ll be honest it’s best if you focus on stories that aren’t attached to main characters being used in Arcs or stories by other authors. If you’re interested in doing a Sylum Story contact me (sylumclan@yahoo.com). DO NOT write the story then send it, seriously guys – not a good idea. Drop me an email … we’ll talk.

Can you believe it’s been almost a year since Sylum Vault opened?! It’s been a wild and educational ride, that’s for sure. It’s been a while since I’ve done a post specific to the Vault, so I figured it was time to showcase some of our collections. Remember all proceeds from the Vault help with my personal expenses in keeping Sylum up and running – so any little bit helps. If you can’t purchase jewelry right now then help get the word out to others.
A Summer is winding down, the Holiday Season is sneaking up on us. Get a head start on your shopping needs!

Lilith’s father was a Psychologist, he was very strict and made sure the family followed his rules perfectly. When her mother killed him, Lilith knew fate was a bitch.
She grew up in the orphanage, while her other siblings were adopted. She refused to talk about what happened to her family, and kept her father’s strict rules.
She left the orphanage, went to school, and got a degree in Psychology, even after being told she couldn’t cause she was a woman.
She married, though it only lasted a few years.
She became very successful in her private practice, never babying her patients and telling them like it is.
When she ended up with a patient who thought she was Macbeth, she only blinked and asked about her relationship with her father.
Years later, Gruoch Macbeth offered her a lifetime of learning. The only condition was she would need to work with her Clan.
Lilith, humoring her, met her at her home, only to realize the castle was filled with delusional and crazy people.
She took the job.
Yesterday on Throwback Thursday I discussed my own Road Not Taken … So what is yours?
Recently I was on the phone talking with a friend, and in mist of the conversation, old opportunities came up. It brought up how different life would be if these opportunities were taken.
The one that stuck in my mind the most was an opportunity for me to take a job across the country. This would’ve changed my life drastically. I would’ve been away from family and anything I knew. They didn’t want to pay my asking price or relocation, so I turned it down. I ended up joining a Yahoo Group soon after that, and started writing some of my first fanfic – which will never see the light of day EVER! *shifty look* Six months later I met the Ex, who introduced me to CSI … a year and half later – Lost Son was aired.
The say the rest is history.
Because of Sylum I’ve met some of the most amazing people. Made some awesome friends. Had grand gathering adventures. But the most important thing Sylum brought me was my soulmate, who I married.
Sylum has given me the opportunity to write in ways I never felt possible, to the now wonderful adventure of being published, something I never would’ve thought possible all those years ago.
I look at my life and despite the drama, the trauma, and the what the actual fucks – I wouldn’t change it for anything.
So thinking back onto that moment fifteen years ago … I’m thankful I didn’t take that road. Because I really don’t want to think about the what if – Sylum had never been born.
And with that. I send my thanks to all those that have followed this road with me. I send my love to those who have touched my life – you know who you are. And most importantly I can never thank God enough for bringing my spouse into my life.

Nicolaus looks around the ballroom, everything’s prepped and ready for the guests.
Cook out did herself with the amount of food.
The flowers the Gardner arranged was beautiful.
Okay now to just let everyone in.
*opens door*
“Come on in!”
Quick Announcement!
When Barnes & Noble posted the book a few weeks back, they kinda forgot to add: the synopsis, about the author, and generally everything about the book.
It’s been fixed!!
So once again, you can find Conversations in Real Time at Barnes & Noble – this time with all the relevant information!! So if you went and checked out earlier and wondered why it was pretty much blank, this would be why. Take a second look, now that it’s complete!
I want thank everyone who’s bought the book, please if you enjoyed the story – please leave a review or rate it on where you bought it from – it will help get the word out to other readers.
If you don’t have a Nook and are interested in the book you can find it at these locations:
Smashwords – (Has Mobi format for those with Kindles)

Now for the really cool announcement! Love Bytes did a review of the book! Check it out Here!!

Second cool announcement!! I’ve added a section under General’s Office for my Published works.
No one knows anything about who or where Black Hat came from. There is speculation that he is older than many anticipated. That the start of the family line, falls with him. But there has been no proof.
WordPress updated.
Themes did … ish.
At the moment the theme we use has been updated … sort of. The problem is if you’re using Safari, if you click on the links in the tables or the bios – it will show the non-updated version of the theme. If you click on tags (actors, actress, or clan position) it will showcase the bios in the new updated theme. If you type a name, clan, or position into the search field it will showcase the bios in the new updated theme.
As you can see it’s being a pain.
Now if you use Chrome it’s perfectly fine. If anyone uses Firefox if you can check the wiki blog and reply to this post to let me know that would be awesome.
I did try to use other themes including WordPress own personal themes and they are all having the same issue with Safari – any time you would click a link past the front page it went to your previous old theme. Hopefully this will be fixed, and we can move on. If not … the screaming you’ll hear will be me.
As this bunny has decided to be front and center *kicks the POI to the side – You’ve done enough damage!* – figured be good Throwback Thursday to the original series. Not that a lot of it will change, it’s just getting upgraded and added story elements that we now have for that time period. *cough* Kenway *cough*
