Stalking the Elusive Promo

Good late evening, my Extraordinary Big Cats, that's what the Kougar has been doing today ~ stalking the elusive promo. Roar and sore, it's not that the opportunity to promo is elusive, since there are chat loops and blogs and lots of cyber big-game opportunities. It's more like a tv show or a movie looking for its audience. The way to accomplish that could be extremely elusive.
Not being a naturally chatty cathy kind of Big Cat, the Kougar doesn't fare too well on the loops. And being on dial-up is prohibitive for doing the vid trailor thing. The Kougaress obviously enjoys blogs ~ however, that won't necessarily lure in those readers who would find her books delicious reading material.
On an emotional level, moi feels mostly invisible. In reality, the competition is fierce. With lots of great reads to choose from, and all the authors wanting those readers who most adore their books.
However meow enough...
At Shapeshifter Romance ~ http://shapeshifterromance.wordpress.com ~ there's a fun and fab discussion on ~ just what does a shapeshifter eat?
Which brings up the question ~ what will the Kougar's dragon shifter hero consume once he arrives on Earth? The ubiquitous tons of junk food, assuming he ends up in the good ole' US of A. Of course, he might not need to eat at all, if he stocked up on all the vital nutrients from a travel to a strange primitive world *implant*, which gradually feeds him. Himmmm...course, if he craves a certain type of food that could make for a some entertaining scenarious.
Just what do dragon shifters eat? The standard joke answer: anything or anyone they want.
How about my dragon shifter hero eats the heroine's nasty ex? Maybe, he just threatens to dine on him once he flames him into a crispy snack.
Gee, that could be a handy way of getting rid of the villains -- crisp 'em up and bring on the salsa and guacamole. Hey, who needs that barbecue pit now? Just smolder with dragon fire until fall-off-the-bone tender, then soak in your fave sauce.
Dragon's breath, who knew it could be so useful in current times?
Neighbor using black magic to drive you away? Send in the dragon for a little untraceable arson...oh so sorry, your house just went up in smoke and couldn't be saved...or, oops, are you sure that vehicle isn't on the recall list, the way it went up in flames...hehehe...

Elusive kisses from the Kougar...
