Sylum Charity: Hurricane Ida

As many have heard Hurricane Ida made landfall 16 years years to the date, August 29th, in New Orleans at winds up 140 mph.

If you’re looking for a way to help please check out Charity Navigator that has listed out the top charities that are on the ground helping.

Charity Navigator is a great source to research particular charities to see what their business practices, and where exactly the money goes.  So if you ever have a question about a charity – use Charity Navigator.

Read A Book Day

It’s been a rough year or two, but I’m finally getting to work on the next novel by NJF.

If you’re new to Sylum check out my published books!

If you’ve bought my books, please leave a review where you bought it from!  The more reviews the better standing I get, which means more people see the book!

Yes I do have a webpage, now that things are starting to progress I’ll be posting more to the sight to showcase what I’m working on.

Character Introduction / Tallikut Clan1

Sylum Inspiration: Jim Ellison

Tallikut: Second-in-Command

Jim’s family were devout Protestants from the Swiss/German border and he was the eldest of six surviving children. His parents were Wilhelm and Mary Grace Bachmann and the family was well enough off that it was expected that young James would follow in his father’s footsteps to become a gentlemen farmer.

The family settled in the Carolinas in the early 1700s and while the town was small, he was mostly okay. But as he grew, so did New Bern and when James was in his mid to late twenties he could no longer stand the assault on his senses and escaped into the wilderness. Jim became a fur trapper hiding out in the wilderness, because it was too painful for him to live around what passed for civilization. He met Benton while trapping. When they were caught in a horrible snowstorm, trapped far from aid, Fraser offered him a way to live.

Discord Chat – Take Two

Already seeing some good response to the polls!  Thanks!  Plots are already afoot!

It would seem I was posting the wrong link to the Sylum Server *eyerolls at self* 

Considering I almost screwed up my posting schedule cause I forgot there was an August 31st – it’s been a rough couple of months 😀

Link to Sylum Server

I’ve also added the link to the Menu/Sylum Information.

But we also are looking for everyone elses thoughts.

Character Introduction / Sylum Clan1

Sylum Inspiration: GIl Grissom

Sylum: Member

 

Gil was raised by his mother, who was deaf, after his father died when he was nine. Never good at making friends, he was a social recluse while growing up. He graduated early and became the youngest Los Angeles Medical Examiner at 19. Decades later he moved to Las Vegas, taking the Las Vegas Crime Lab from near the bottom of crime lab rankings to the #2 Lab in the country, second only to the FBI lab at Quantico.

Grissom is a renowned forensic entomologist and for fun likes to race Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches.

He took over the Night Shift as Supervisor after Brass was demoted to Detective after the death of Holly Gribbs. He has tried to instill in his CSIs the ability to find a balance between science and emotion, at times losing that balance himself.

Gil doesn’t talk about his obsession with Nico during the years in Vegas. It was this obsession that had him researching things into Nico’s past, discovering the world of Vampires. He was pulled into the world when his team was attacked by Rogues who were looking to harm Nick Stokes and Warrick Brown, the leaders of Sylum Clan. After discovering about Vampires he was pulled into a Clan War. He soon saw the men he trained in a different light.

His life once again changed when he had a confrontation with Harvey Spector.
