Yippy Skippy, and Dark Hero Trippy...

Yippy skippy, and claws crossed, my Big KitKats, the Kougar e-sent HER INSATIABLE DARK HEROES, her Dark Hero Trippy novel, to Siren-BookStrand. And, a big purring yay, she also penned her blurbies and filled out the cover art questionnaire.
Now, as usual, the question looms... how best to utilize her writerly time. Once the Golden Heart entries are read and evaluated. So far, moi has read two of them, one with an intriguing plot and an interesting otherworld setting. Although, this Big Cat girl is flummoxed over the non-use of commas before a dialogue tag.
Example, which is not in the story ~ “Don’t kick the dog-rat.” she scolded and frowned menacingly.
Okay, my Kittens, is this some new way of writing the Kougaress is not aware of? The use of a period, instead of a comma? Or if a period is used, the first word is not capitalized? This occurrence can’t be a simple oversight since it’s consistent throughout the entry.
Certainly, there are differences in what is considered proper punctuation between British authors and American authors.
Ah meow well... a mystery of the *not* highest order, yet one that niggles like a turning worm... ick.

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 54 ~

Sylva trembled inside, good and bad. Good, because she could tell he meant what he said...because he wildly aroused her passions. Bad, because that hardly guaranteed she would enjoy being his ‘wife’, overall. “You won’t make me wear a gown I hate, yet...somehow, I’m now your wife.” His self-satisfied smile, the glitter of unfettered joy in his eyes, kept her tongue-tied and definitely confused. After all, he didn’t really know her. “My wife.” Sylva swore his words somehow glowed. Releasing one of her arms, he half-turned, reaching out for a luscious peach-pink gown draped over a large settee.

Zeke slowly raised the gown he’d placed on the settee with the hope his bride would be as pleased as he was, with the thought of her wearing it during their first celebration together as husband and wife. His Sylva’s breath puffed in and out swiftly as she watched him bring the gown to her. “It reminds me of an old-fashioned gown in a western movie. A cavalry ball at a fort...only different,” she murmured. Tentatively she touched the satin material, as if might bite, then delicately fingered the puffed sleeve. “Beautiful,” she praised. Zeke quirked a brow. “Movie?”

I guess I'm old-school when it comes to punctuation marks. lol!

I agree with Jolie about the punctuation marks. I haven't seen speech laid out in that way before. Although I read M Atwood's 'Blind Assassin' that has no speech marks in it. I got used to that in the end.

Interesting... I just had never seen it done that way before and didn't know if I should know something I don't know... whatever!

Thanks!
