If You're Going to Fall...

Meow-hello, Big Beautiful Cats, the Kougar is peeking out from her writing lair. Not for long. The sun and a lovely blue sky with sweet plump floating clouds, greet her. Busy with business of feeding, the birdies and butterflies flit about, completely unhindered by the Kougar's gone-wild lawn.
If you're going to fall, this is the way to do it...
Moi's major laughing fit ensues. For a long and belly-clasping time. Brow-raised why, my curious cats?
Picture it, Big Kitties, you're working diligently, concentrating on your edits -- you're blinking your dry eyeballs, attempting to create the best story possible...when...during a scene on the tangerine pleasure planet of Yemisque, your editor comments: If you're going to fall, this is the way to do it.
Now, the Kougar can't reveal her scene. No fair for those who read Tangerine Carnal Dreams (Aspen Mountain Press), since it would spoil the slippery surprise.
Yes, dear big cat authors and aspiring authors, the editing process can be fun, even hilarity-yowling inspiring.
Okay, synchronicity, or not? On the the word FALL. Today, the Kougaress received her edits for When a Good Angel Falls (Siren-BookStrand). Most tail-swishing happily, the due date for return does not interfere with her current edits. Thank you, a sleek bow to Bast.
Freebie book! On Title Magic today, Mel, our Super Librarian, is giving away a book. And! her topic is how trends are studied on all the different genres out there. Hey, those Tall, Dark and Dead vampires are featured. Prance on over, Big Kitties. Mew-sings below.
Mel, TM's own Super Library Gal or is that Woman? Gee, what you learn. I didn't know that. But it makes sense, in order, to keep track of trends, what's new, what's hot, what's old, what's fading into the far distance of fad.
What I absolutely luv about Vampire novels, other than tall dark and handsome -- are the titles -- like Tall, Dark and Dead. Cracks up my funny bone every time. I'd luv to write a wacky vampire romp one of these days -- maybe in the style of Just One Bite with over-tanned George -- can't think of his last name. He also played a fruit loop Zorro. It was parody hoot!

Quick smooch from the Kougar...
