A Lyrical Day...

Good evening, Big Cool Cats, it's been an overcast day with a gentle sprinkling of raindrops on the Kougar's own unmowed jungle...a delightful sight. No perfectly manicured lawn for this Kougar Kitty.

Ever heard, but not seen, those thunder-roaring aircraft as they fly overhead? Yeppers and meow, today moi heard another one, and knew...it's nuclear powered. The sound is the same as the Hiroshima bomb going off, which the Kougaress heard recently on Coast-to-Coast am. Before you judge moi as a tin hat idiot. How long was it before the public knew about the Stealth??? Hmmmm....

Yowl, for something much more fun and poignant, slip on over to ~ http://liquidsilverbooks.com/blog ~ here's the beginning and Colleen's blog only gets better.

The Trouble with Unicorns
Colleen Love wrote this in the wee hours:
Wow, the summer is nearly gone! What happened to the time?
Well, I was struggling to narrow down what I wanted to say here today. So much has been going on to keep me running! But, I had something funny happen the other day and I thought I would share it. Yes, it is critter oriented, I’m warning you now.
As many of you know, I help out with 5 horses. My neighbor is a trainer and her horses are just outstanding animals, with the most distinct and interesting characters. They are all my favorite, but one in particular just touches my heart. If he was human, he would be my grandfather who passed away a few years ago. His name is Daycon and he is a grey Arabian who is 31 years old this year.

A lyrical day...and actually that was the feel of this day as a whole. However, Lyrical Press had an open promo day on their two chat loops. The Kougar is glad to see this new small print publisher doing so well, and making a good name for themselves. Given moi's two new releases Tangerine Carnal Dreams ~ http://aspenmountainpress.com ~ and When a Good Angel Falls ~ http://bookstrand.com ~ ...well, this big cat did not refuse the invitation. Roaring-thank you, Lyrical Press.

And speaking of the eternal promo dance, the Kougar sent the info on Tangerine Carnal Dreams to Passionate Ink's Booknotes, an e-brochure of the newest erotic romances featuring the members of the RWA chapter, Passionate Ink ~ http://passionateink.org ~

Tonight, moi is diligently working on her Cover Art Questionnaire for Murder By Hair Spray in Gardenia, New Atlantis, contracted by Siren-BookStrand...always a fun and intense process with it's frustrating moments. Creating that blurb which will not only entice, but remain true to the story.

Ta-da, my special Big Cats, here's a fang snippet from Murder by Hair Spray in Gardenia, New Atlantis ~

"Why the nice treatment, Zryphus? I was dirt under your shoes when you first arrived?" Sheriff Kalypso picked up the mascara wand. "Black, black. Just like I remember."
"Sheriff," Deputy Anna called out, "finished the personal item scan. Got the body ready for transport. We’re on our way. I’ll leave the door open. Keep airing the room out."
"Thanks, Anna. You know where I am." Kalypso picked up a compact case – solid rich elegance in design. Opening it, she studied the pasty covering. "Looks real. But I never used this stuff. Couldn’t stand it. Used the sheer version they came out with – when I used makeup. – You haven’t answered my question, Zryphus."
"Bluntly, Kalypso...I want you in my bed."

Lyrical rain kisses from the Kougar...
