Throwback Thursday: Nicholas J. Finch – Conversations in Real Time
It’s a New Year and while I’m working on the next book, I wanted to take the moment to push the first one! I’m still trying to get to 100 sales – we’re almost there!
So I’m here asking y’all for your time and help. If you’re read the book – please leave a review where you bought it. Just take a few seconds to write out a few words – seriously this will be more helpful than anything. You can also leave a quick/note on the Nicholas J. Finch Page here on the blog – so when people get referred to it, they can see comments/reviews instantly before clicking the links.
I’ve also noticed a few hits on goodreads – if you have an account add the book to your list and give it a quick review or star rating!
If you haven’t bought it, now is a good time!
Conversations in Real Time:
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.

Throwback Thursday: Demons & Angels by Timothy Quinn
Demons & Angels is considered one of the nexus stories in the Sylum Universe, outside the Main Arcs.
This story is one of the biggest and most influential turning points in the series. It sets up: new characters, relationships, and future storyline.
It’s also takes place within 12 hours, and introduces two major characters who have, and will continue, to influence Sylum.
Patrick McKenna
Ernesto Olivetti
Ernesto’s story continues in Roads Untraveled …. leading to the introduction of Andrew Kiernan and Pius XVII, further characters who have become beloved over time.
Due to the recent Sylum headcanon changes concerning Sam Winchester now being Theo … no longer Meridia … both these stories needed to be looked at. They were already on the ‘need to look at’ list considering changes in Canon from the 10th Anniversary Clan War Edition.
We were going to wait until Clan War was finished, but the latest chapter has been a pain in the ass for a while so we took a break and focused on these two.
And we all know how Ernesto gets when he wants attention!
There weren’t a lot of changes, subtle moments that enhanced an already amazing story and small threads of things to come. For those who’ve read this story more than once – see if you can find the differences.
I can’t say how much I love this story, enough.
No seriously.
It’s one of those stories you catch yourself while reading, going – what happens next? Even though you know what happens next. It’s beautifully written, the characters are engaging, and it makes you want to just curl up with a cup of tea and keep reading.
I can’t even watch the movie anymore … well I can but I stop at Fire … cause I just refuse to watch the WTF ending. Dan Brown should be shot for the ‘oh my god lets shock you with the most shocking of shocking endings cause you didn’t see that shocking conclusion’. We didn’t see it coming because it was STUPID!
Sorry – small rant there.
I thank the movie for two things: Ewan McGregor in a cassock, and introducing me to Pierefrancesco Favino.
So back to the the reason for this post.
The Re-Posting of Demons & Angels! Yes it’s been updated, edited, and uploaded to the Sylum Archive!
Demons & Angels: By Timothy Quinn

Special Note to Timothy Quinn
Thanks for the work you do with Sylum, for helping corral the Bobs, for your insight, talent, 50,000 word vocabulary, editing skills, and just the fact you chose me to be with. *sappy moment is sappy*
Thank you for this.
Thank you for one of my favorite stories of all time, one that surpasses All Quiet on the Western Front and Tom Sawyer.
Now Everyone Go Read!!
