Cloud of the Tiny Lavender Butterflies

One of the sweetest joys, my Big Kitties, of living on the tame prairie is the bounty of wildflower blooms and butterflies. When the Kougar ventured outside to check her mailbox, she was greeted by a cloud of tiny lavender butterflies. Literally, they swarmed in an ethereal dance and looked like little lavender blossoms flitting about. A most lovely stunning sight. Since they were fluttering behind the back tire of the van, the Kougaress was concerned for their safety, and gently suggested they leave. Before that, however, moi wished to see one up close and personal, so she asked. Moments later one of the ultra fragile critters landed right before her eye with it's wings folded up. Praising it, the Kougaress then asked for a close look at their wings. One of the darlings slowly flitted by, providing an excellent view of the ephemeral shade of lavender.
Okay, think what you will. The Kougar's brain bolts have busted loose. Yet, this is truly what transpired. And there are lots of animal communicators out there, who will tell you their similar experiences.

Beloved Big Cats, yes, the POV change edits for Tangerine Carnal Dreams ~ Aspen Mountain Press ~ have been completed and sent for perusal. Moi so loves this story! What's not to love about a tangerine fantasy carnal playground and a stallion shifter hero...oh, and a heroine who is not only kick-ass fiery, but can shoot fire from her palm.

And! meow-throaty speaking of fantasy. Da plane...da plane...you are arriving on Fantasy Island. What is your most desired fantasy? That's question theme for moi's hostess time at the Siren-BookStrand membership drive on June 28. Live your fantasy, if only in words, and join us. You could win big, or just the book of your dreams.

Just for paranormal fun and promo! A new blogspot has been created for members of Destiny Blaine's and Ann Cory's Just Another Paranormal Monday Yahoo chat. It's a beauty! Take swift stroll over, Big Cats. And yowling-yep, the Kougar posted Red Lioness Tamed ~ Joyfully Reviewed. Tomorrow moi will provide the web addy which has slipped her over-taxed brain.

Today on Title Magic ~ titlemagic.blogspot.com ~ Evonne takes us on another fascinating atmospheric tour of her writerly world. Moi's mew-sings below.
Evonne, absolutely excellent blog. Like Anitra says, I would love to have attended, just for the location itself. As well as all the attendees!
I think there is a balance point. And research can become too seductive in a way that actually defeats your story, just in how much time you're spending on it.
There's that moment when pen must meet paper, or fingers must meet the keyboard.
All the research -- and I love research, which is one reason I totally loved college -- won't actually get the story written.
BTW, I have a request. If you're ever up for it, a blog on animals as characters, a report on that session would be so cool.
I am having a guest blogger on, who is going to write on that topic, Jami Davenport. She rides in Dressage, and is quite accomplished at the equine sport.

Tail-slashing widely, it's back to the writing cave for moi...and other writerly business pursuits.

Lavender butterfly kisses from the Kougar...

Savannah, I can't wait. I've actually started putting my thoughts down on paper already. I have always been fascinated with animal communication, be it psychic or just plain old understanding of how an animal thinks. Whatever you call it, there is a connection between animsls and humans that is quite fascinating.

Jami, I've certainly experienced the communication. Not consistently, and not like the animal psychics. But there is no denying the actual results. A long, long time ago I was visiting San Francisco, and went to a marine display, I think, at Golden Gate Park. There was a huge tank with one female dolphin and other sea animals. I was so entranced with her, I asked her to swim closer, so I could see her better.
She did! And again, when I asked again. It was an amazing few moments.
