Yeppers, lots of peppers, my darling Big Cats, that’s how Monday went for the Kougar... yowl! Just turned out that way...
A rumbling I swear, fractiousness and stuff in disarray... it must be the top vibration. Many grrrring shakes of this Big Cat girl’s head!!! Not that the world is in great shape. Roar about disarray, tons o’ discontent and contentious fires breaking out all over.
Moi may have to consider paw-penning some daydreamy escapist poetry.~~~
Yep-meow and that ain’t all. Moi learned some disturbing historical facts today that she’d never known about. Seems the US census that was taken before World War II was turned over to the FBI by President Roosevelt. That information was used to round up Japanese and German US citizens, for the purpose of putting them into camps.
Gee, how often does history repeat itself? And, guess what, your door has been GPS-ed.~~~
Happy news... happy mews... the Kougar needs some happy snappy news... Oops, there it is! The heavens have delivered. Moi just spied this story on the ticker headliner thing at the top of her monitor ~
Screamin' seafaring tale wins bad writing contestFrom Associated Press
June 29, 2009 7:53 PM EST
SAN JOSE, California - A shambling sentence about screaming seafarers on the sturdy whaler Ellie May stood shoulders above the rest in an annual bad writing contest.
David McKenzie, 55, of Federal Way, Washington state, won the grand prize in San Jose State University's annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest with this:
"Folks say that if you listen real close at the height of the full moon, when the wind is blowin' off Nantucket Sound from the nor' east and the dogs are howlin' for no earthly reason, you can hear the awful screams of the crew of the `Ellie May,' a sturdy whaler Captained by John McTavish; for it was on just such a night when the rum was flowin' and, Davey Jones be damned, big John brought his men on deck for the first of several screaming contests."
The contest, a parody of prose, invites entrants to submit bad opening sentences to imaginary novels. It is named after Victorian writer Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton, who opened his 1830 novel "Paul Clifford," with the much-quoted, "It was a dark and stormy night ..."
Contest categories include purple prose and vile puns. Among other winners announced Monday were:
- "How best to pluck the exquisite Toothpick of Ramses from between a pair of acrimonious vipers before the demonic Guards of Nicobar returned should have held Indy's full attention, but in the back of his mind he still wondered why all the others who had agreed to take part in his wife's holiday scavenger hunt had been assigned to find stuff like a Phillips screwdriver or blue masking tape," from Joe Wyatt of Amarillo, Texas, winner in the adventure category.
- "She walked into my office on legs as long as one of those long-legged birds that you see in Florida the pink ones, not the white ones except that she was standing on both of them, not just one of them, like those birds, the pink ones, and she wasn't wearing pink, but I knew right away that she was trouble, which those birds usually aren't," from Eric Rice of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, winner in the detective category.

Just for the cowboy lovin’ big cats ~ a sneaky peekie NARRATIVE-snippet from BRANDED BY THE TEXANS...Once her crying jag eased off, Dillon glanced at the position of the sun through the sparse new leaves of elderly aspen trees. A green-golden transparency, they delicately fluttered in the low wind. It was comin’ onto late afternoon and they were still about two hours ride from the ranch house.
Sniffling, she still clung onto him. He wasn’t certain if it was because she’d exhausted herself or simply needed to hold onto something. God willing, he wanted to be the man, the something she always held onto.

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....Part 184 ~Sylva watched the colorful images his story evoked flash before her mind’s eye. “We were sluggin’ away at each other, both of us in a red blazin’ frenzy. Bets were already being made as to who would win and how long it’d take. When neither one of us showed any signs of quittin’, the owner rounded up his ‘brawl boys’ as he called them. Between the six of them, they managed to shove us outside while we kept pounding on each other. For good measure the brawl boys pushed us into a giant ole’ mud puddle from the morning’s downpour.”
Zeke paused recalling the oozing chill of the mud until the heat from both of their adrenalin-rampaging bodies had warmed it up. “There we were rollin’ around like two yearling bulls, head-butting each other because our fists were slidin’ off. Truth is, we ended up on our butts as much as we plowed into each other. Naturally, a crowd gathered and they were shoutin’ bets, howling with laughter and slapping their knees to boot. That only fired up me and Ranson. We started circling each other, looking for wrestling holds. Course, we were slimy with mud from head to toe.”

Pink Flamingo leg smooches from the Kougar...
~ Two pics of the actress, Gale Storm ~Ooooh... delicious cooler temps on the tame prairie today, my Summer Sunning Kittens.
Yes, darling Big Cats, it’s Flash Fiction Sunday time. Nina Pierce, a wonderful erotic romance author was the fun and inspiring hostess. Her theme ~ tattoos ~ yeppers-purr, check out the flashies if you have yen tattooing seduction.
Moi’s flash-ing ~Flash Tattoo of the Tiger Man
I
Anger consumed her, threatening to explode with a volcano’s force. Kwaanni stared at the risen tattoo on her underarm, a supposed gift from the supernatural realm. The long sinuous tail of the black tiger began at her wrist. The head, with its terribly fierce expression, gazed at her from the swell of her arm, just before her elbow.
“I will not.” From her deepest anger, her words defied the destiny she’d been given.
“I will not!”
Kwaanni raised the tattoo toward the sun’s full morning face above the ocean’s indigo edge.
“I will not have a Tiger Man as husband.”
II
Golden, yet adorned with brilliant shades of yellow and red, the Great Sun did not answer. Kwaanni waited, her brow fierce with rebellion. Determined to change her fate, Kwaanni remained, still as a teak statue. The only movement of her body were her savage pants of breath.
“It will not alter.”
The deep timbre of the man’s voice assaulted her back.
Kwaanni whirled, her speed not slowed by the wet sand. “I will not have you.”
“Yet, I will have you.”
She did not view him fully. A patient hunter, he stood in the jungle shadows where the beach ended.
III
Fiery determination seized her flesh and Kwaanni recalled the words of her grandfather’s story.
“Combat.” She hurled the word at him like a flaming spear. “I am free of destiny by combat.”
“You will lose.”
Even the low roar of his words held patience.
“If,” she stomped closer, her insides scorching lava, “if I lose, I will know that I have fought for myself. That will be my victory.”
“Your victory will be as my wife.”
His arrogance an insult, Kwaanni shouted, “That is no victory. That is to be endured.”
He moved from the shadow, her world’s fiercest warrior.
~~~~~~
Way, way back in the Kougar’s cubhood, she enjoyed a TV show, actually the reruns, starring Gale Storm. She played a perky and somewhat wacky woman who was a cruise director on a great big ship.
It always struck this cub odd that the actress’s name was Gale Storm, since she had that affect on the ship’s crew, and was truly a larger storm than any gale storm that could ever have hit the ship at sea.
What moi enjoyed most was Gale Storm’s irrepressible personality and her resourcefulness in gaining her way.
Yesterday, Gale Storm passed over to that great heavenly cruise she so deserves.
~~~
Wiki entry ~
The series was based on a cruise director, Susanna Pomeroy, on a ship travelling around the world. A cast of regular characters inhabited the ship and new situations were created by the ship mooring in ports.~~~
Gale Storm, star of '50s hit TV series, dies at 87
From Associated Press
June 28, 2009 4:21 PM EDT
LOS ANGELES - Gale Storm, whose wholesome appearance and perky personality made her one of early television's biggest stars, has died at age 87.
The actress died Saturday at a convalescent hospital in Danville, said her son, Peter Bonnell. He says she died of natural causes.
Storm was a Texas high schooler named Josephine Owaissa Cottle when she won a talent contest for a radio show called "Gateway to Hollywood" on New Year's Day 1940.
Soon she was in Los Angeles, making movies with Jackie Cooper, Eddie Albert and Audie Murphy.
In 1952 she landed the starring role in "My Little Margie," which quickly became an audience favorite and ran until 1955.
~~~~~~
Just for the cowboy lovin’ big cats ~ a sneaky peekie dialogue-snippet from BRANDED BY THE TEXANS...“It was like being in an old western movie.” Her tiny miserable voice squeezed his heart. Hard.
“You’re a tough little thang. I’d want you watchin’ my back.”
“Watching or washing?” She gurgled a small sound that wanted to be a chuckle.
Dillon paused as her meaning became clear. “Both. Watchin’ and washin’.” He continued stroking her back making lazy circles with his palm.
“What if I don’t like your brothers?”
Figuring it wouldn’t help matters if he told her his brothers were very well liked by women, usually, he tried to think of a response that would reassure her.
~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....
Part 183 ~
Sylva almost didn’t believe her ears. “He’s after you over a mud brawl?” She blinked, then nervously picked up the morning drink and sipped. Her cowboy quirked a grin. “It was a mighty big brawl with lots of mud-slinging. Went on for two days.” Sylva clanked the glass down. “Two days!” She gathered in a deep breath. “How did that happen?” His gaze deepened with the memory. “We were always challengin’ each other over something. Up till then, it was about fifty-fifty as to which one of us came out on top. We were both drinkin’ that night... playin’ cards.”
Zeke tried to sort out just how much he should tell his beautiful bride. “Was it over a woman?” she asked, her eyes wide and sky-bright. “Yep.” His insides twisted at the admission. “Sort of.” Her expression demanded answers. “Sort of?” Zeke swallowed, plunging ahead with the story. “The winner of the poker game got to spend the night...” Zeke clamped his lips together for a moment. “Ranson won the last hand, or so it appeared. I accused him of cheating. Turned out he had been. The next moment our fists were flying at each other. Furniture crashed. Whoops and hollering began.”

Gale storming smooches from the Kougar...
This evening, my Big Sassy Cats, fireflies and lightning in the darkening sky. It was an eerie and stirring sight ~ watching the lightning flash above the clouds while bolts of lightning struck in the distance... while fireflies... they are also called lightning bugs, flashed in concert and at odds with the lightning. This Big Cat has never seen anything like this before. It was exceedingly cool.~~~
Oh, KitKats, what an unexpectedly busy day. Wooweee-meow! And, here, moi thought she’d have a good long day of paw-penning BRANDED. Purring-okay, she did have a part of day and got some good writing done.~~~
Respect, my Big Cats, as a romance author, the Kougaress thinks it may be highly over-rated. What does moi mean by that? Notoriously, society, in general, has considered the romance writer to be ‘less than’ ~ ‘not as good’ ~ or, even ‘you’re not a real author, are you?’ ~ That look, or words which suggest those words when you tell someone your profession, or that you’re an aspiring romance author. Heaven forbid. Oh, the complete horror. Why aren’t you a real novelist? You know, the ones that write unhappy endings.
Yeah, right, an unhappy ending isn’t as formulaic as a happy ending. Make me believe that one. Naw, this Big Cat girl ain’t buying it.
Still, on the whole, the Kougar thinks it’s preferable to be disrespected for a couple of good reasons. One, romance novels sell statistically better than other types of novels. Two, it goes like this ~ asking for respect from a person determined not to give it, never gets respect... even demanding respect doesn’t always work. For a crude example: if a slave asks an owner for respect... well, you get the picture.
Yowl, to simplify, respected books sell, but do they sell as much as romance novels? If you are about being respected, write those books. If you are about writing love stories with happily ever after endings, then, be a romance author.
Respect ain’t everything it’s cracked up to be... sometimes.
Why this topic ~ Judah Raine wrote a brilliant blog that inspired it at the HAPPILY EVER AFTER blog.
Here’s a snippet ~
For my part, I love romance. I believe in it. I love reading it and I love writing it, and I know I’m not the only one. So I’ve decided to throw it “out there” for the rest of the romance world to grab hold of. Welcome to my Bloghogger Challenge! Pop across to my home blog at: http://judahraine.com/romancewriteup/?p=638 and read the “I read Romance – and I love it!” post, then take up the challenge. Okay, so maybe it won’t change the course of the known universe overnight, but it could be a lot of fun trying…

Litter of lynx kittens heartens Colo. biologistsJune 27, 2009 4:54 PM EDT
DENVER - The discovery of 10 lynx kittens this spring marks the first newborns documented in Colorado since 2006, heartening biologists overseeing restoration of the mountain feline.
The tuft-eared cats with big, padded feet were native to Colorado, but were wiped out by the early 1970s by logging, trapping, poisoning and development. They are listed as threatened on the endangered species list.
Biologists found no kittens the past two years, possibly partly because of a drop in the number of snowshoe hares, the cats' main food source.
This year, seven male and three female kittens were found in five dens.
More than 200 lynx from Alaska and Canada have been released in Colorado since 1999. Biologists don't know how many lynx are currently in the state.
~~~~~~
Just for the cowboy lovin’ big cats ~ a sneaky peekie dialogue-snippet from BRANDED BY THE TEXANS...“You’re one of those dominant men who think they can just get their own way, whenever they want.”
“Guilty, darlin’. But I bet you’re gonna enjoy it.”
“My fist is aching to sock your jaw. A big mistake, probably. I’d only crack it on that granite-like jaw of yours.”
Her tone pounced on him.
“Why, thank you, for the compliment, sweet Kylie.”
Her fuse flared, bright and hot. Her body was sinuous as flame against him.
“You’re probably just as savage and primitive as the Vikings.”
Her scathing charge tickled him. His wildcat woman would probably attack him if he gave her half a chance. Dillon figured he’d do just that, when the time was right. Their sex was bound to be sizzlin’ hot as firecrackers.

Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....
Part 182 ~Sylva stroked and sinuously danced her tongue with her cowboy, passionately tasting him. As it began, the sumptuous kiss ended, a lazy parting of their lips. “Sylva,” he whispered. With slow tenderness, he released the back of her head and straightened. His brandy-colored eyes shone at her and the depth of his emotions moved through her like a shock wave. “Cowboy, coffee tastes good on you.” His grin traveled through her, simmering her loins. “I’ll bet a lot things taste good on you, my Sylva.” She flushed inside, her sex warming deliciously. “Want some coffee?” He lifted a silver pot.
Zeke added a touch to his mug, then raised his brows. “No, thanks.” She shook her head. “You’re revving me up enough, handsome.” When she reached for the plate of sliced fruit, he felt relieved. Delicately, she plucked up a peach slice and nibbled, her gaze on him, her eyes alight with her new feelings for him. Finished, she eyed him directly. “Now, tell me what’s going on.” Zeke cupped his mug in his palm, regarding her. “An old rival of mine, Ranson, looks like he’s headed this way. Long time ago he got the worst end of a mud brawl.”

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....Part 181 ~Sylva parted her lips, lightly playing her mouth over his. The defined virile texture of his lips, how he used them with her, against her mouth, made her molten and wild with need. Sensually teasing him, she urged his lips apart and kissed him to the sultry tempo in her mind, the one possessing her body. Sylva slipped her tongue inside his mouth, tempting his passions. Languidly, she darted the tip of her tongue between his lips, then met his tongue, his strong talented tongue. Sylva twined their tongues, tasting him and the coffee he’d sipped, as one sexy flavor.
Zeke followed his bride’s lead, her soft temptress kisses feeding his soul and making him carnal as hell. Concentrating on the lush lovely shape of her mouth, he tasted the various ways her lips molded to his, and knew heaven was his. All he had to do was care for his wife from his heart. All he had to do was look at her everyday with his heart. When her tongue flirted with his, in the way a woman wanted a man, Zeke whooped inside, and kissed her with his own deep well of passion. Their tongues embraced, making love.

May your most romantic dreams come true...
Happy smooches from the sun-basking Kougar...
Greetings, my loveliest Big Felines... are you feeling ridiculously sticky from the humidity? And it’s just barely summertime... oh, lordy meowwww... though, it was delightfully coolish after an early morning rainstorm for awhile today... the purring-good news, they’re alive and growing like a veritable jungle, the Big O tomatoes the Kougar doesn’t have...
Ever have one of those days where you have to shop for those things you use regularly? Okay *tail-patiently flicking” moi plowed through that successfully. Then, because the printer ink is scraping bottom, the Kougaress made a yowl-frustrating mistake. Dell, for the most part, has been absolutely hellish to order from... why? Why would a computer company create an ordering system which is a sheer nightmare to negotiate?
Heckie-rats! When moi purchased her computer... way back when now in the short life of technology... Dell’s ordering system was so poor online, she had to actually call in the order.
So today, nothing has changed except the design. It was about an hour and a half of achieving absolutely nothing!!! No, the Kougar dared to order her ink, then dared to attempt the purchase of speakers... then!!! she dared the absolutely unforgivable, she attempted to order another tower... you know, a backup just in case... well, after ‘building’ her tower... and even that didn’t work properly... well, big fat triple hell... or is that big fat triple Dell... no, the cart would never show... after several tries... never!!!
So, there’s a man moi knows who builds computers... okay, more expensive, but not that much... yep, Dell just lost this Big Cat... course, the Kougar doubts it will be of any concern to them, since she’s not a tech geek highroller.
~~~
Guess what this Big Cat girl discovered. The DTV signal does not like trees. According to her info, the analog signal follows the curvature of the Earth and is not affected by trees... no, not so the digital signal, a weaker atmosphere traveler. Oh, gee, yeah, the Kougaress is going march right out there... chain saw and hatchet in claw-hand to chop down her trees... NO WAY!!!
Down with DTV! Long live her trees!

Just for the cowboy lovin’ big cats ~ a sneaky peekie Plot-snippet from BRANDED BY THE TEXANS...“Jeb,” he uttered. The youngest of four brothers, he was the wild hair, and dangerously impetuous whenever he set his sights on something, or someone. Dillon guessed he might have seen a vid image of Kylie or merely heard about him roping a new bride. The McNeal brothers’ ranch lay north of their spread, and they used the intersecting trail.
“Stupid kid,” he muttered, lowering the camera.
“What’s wrong?”
Dillon spun around. His Kylie stood in the doorway of the hut, the blanket bundled beneath one arm. Hell, what now? Unwilling to lie, he answered her, “Looks like we might have unwelcome company. I’ll need to keep hold of the rifle.”

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....
Part 180 ~Sylva raised her brows at the look of confusion on her cowboy’s handsome face. Inwardly, she lover-sighed over his rugged, yet gallant features. Was it possible to care this deeply, this fast for a man she’d never known until last night? Falling in love... a hormone-driven crush... yes, that could happen quicker than the snap of her fingers. “How about a large dose of caffeine?” she continued. He smiled as if he was the sun rising again. “No, darlin’. Only in the coffee. Every ingredient is just as it was created in nature – dried, or the juices and oils expelled.”
Zeke tried to wrap his mind around what his wife had described as artificial. Yet, none of the names she’d spoken were familiar to him and from her tone he suspected she didn’t like them. Smiling at him like a playful temptress, she pointed to his mug of coffee. “Take a sip.” He grinned in return and tasted his coffee. “Now what, my beauty?” She gave her hair sensual toss. “Kiss me. I want to taste...” Zeke didn’t need any more persuasion, he shot forward, cupped her head and offered his lips to her. Seductively, she slanted her soft mouth.

Poetess kisses from the Kougar...
Purr-greetings, my summer sizzling KitKats, a small storm moved through and saved the Kougar a 97 degree day. Thank you, O divine weather beings. Smoochies, all around.
~~~
Roaring-wow, another storm blew through a couple of hours ago. The winds were horrendous at one point, and moi wondered if a tornado was close.
Nope, the Kougar may not need to concern herself with her non-tomatoes... oh-sad-meow.~~~

Romance Junkies Review
Her Insatiable Dark Heroes
Author: Savanna Kougar
Publisher: Siren Publishing
Release Date: May 2009
Blue Ribbon Rating: 4
~ I loved the names of the different characters, and the banter... Wendra was very well done as the heroine, and I really liked how she was always pushing to be allowed to use her powers, and was not content to just sit there and be protected. ~

Curses Were Strange Beasts
CHAPTER TWO ~ Mr. Dead Man
Keziah stepped into her strappy evening high heels, shiny and black as onyx. Pointing her forefinger she buckled them perfectly, then zapped them with miniature lightning bolts to add extra strength. “No use breaking a heel over you.”

Authoress News ~
Serena Shay, author of the coming release from Liquid Silver Books, THE CHALLENGE, posted a link on her blog, The Mind Wanders , to an article at ~ bookseller.com ~ addressing the giant schism in the RWA. The article was based on Deirdre Knight’s ESPN blog, about the unfair and out-of-date policy for small print/e-authors, and the response of Ms. Pershing, president of Romantic Writers of America.
Nope, moi couldn’t resist leaving a comment ~
There are many nasty dynamics at work in the RWA. I can say that since I've been a member for YEARS.
While it's true that authors, romance authors, unless you're on the top tier, are often treated poorly in terms of payment, the RWA's solution is completely unrealistic in today's cyber world. Furthermore, the current policy is not only 'unfair' to most of their members, in the endgame it serves no one. Not authors, not readers, not publishers and not booksellers.
Why is this? The digital age offers a whole new way for authors to earn a living and build a career. It offers readers romance stories they wouldn't find anywhere else. Niche reading is more and more the trend. Mass market has had it's day as the only way to market and offer good reads.
RWA's policies inhibit the growth of this viable market, not only denying talented authors, but sadly denying readers the books they most want. Fortunately, several of the small print ebook publishers are trailblazers and certainly don't want to give up the profits they are enjoying, or give up the reader's market they are serving and growing.

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....
Part 179 ~Sylva straightened as a bolt of energy surged through her. “Wow. What’s in those winterberries? Or was it the morning drink? I’ve never felt this energized. I mean, I feel like taking the world on.” Sylva scrutinized his face while he studied her face. “I’m not certain, darlin’, which one. Or both. Your body is starved for nutrition. Take another sip of the drink. If you feel tingly with more energy that could be it.” Deciding it wouldn’t hurt, Sylva took a tentative sip. Setting the glass down, she luxuriously tossed back her hair. “What exactly do you mean ‘starved for nutrition’?”
Zeke sought a way to explain. Dang, and tie him to the chair... if she wasn’t more entrancing, her fiery beauty making his loins hunger as if he were starved for nutrition. Zeke wondered if he’d always be starved for her, his wife. “Sylva, I could tell by the way your body responded to the food here and the health elixirs.” She blinked slowly, her eyes wide as pansies. “Oh,” she murmured. “I mean, there’s nothing artificial that hypes someone up.” Zeke cocked his head. “Artificial? What do you mean?” After swigging another sip, she answered, “Like MSG, aspartame, ritalin, prozac.”

Flash and Fun Under the Three Suns
Nope, this bloggie isn’t what the title probably suggests to you... perhaps, you imagine flashing your bikini-clad, sexier-than-hell-body before all those hunky tanned men at the beach... yes, you’re romping or strolling with sensual allure along a white sand beach. Every male can’t help admiring your amazing looks... three suns? Okay, you’re on an out-of-this-world vacation, staying at an intergalactic paradise with three suns... wow, I wouldn’t mind writing this story... if I had time.

Oooh, if you’re a poetry-appreciatin’ Big Cat, slink on over to Lindsay Townsend’s THE PINK BLOG.
On Friday, this Big Cat Romantic will be posting her poetry bloggie with her most recently penned poem.~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....
Part 178 ~Sylva ignored the tiny sensation of shriveling up inside. His gaze was so intense that she’d felt the need to explain her lack of a hearty appetite. Grasping her hands in her lap, she glanced over the food placed on the lovely delicate dishes. Was life here really as grand here as she’d witnessed so far? Not that she believed there were no trials and challenges. She’d seen those too. Her cowboy couldn’t totally hide the concern he had over some danger, she guessed, to both of them. She longed to ask and get it all out in the open.
Zeke mentally frowned at himself for his stern gaze. He gave his woman a grin and picked up the iced bowl of winterberries, presenting them before her. “Try one.” Daintily, she plucked up one of the pinkish red berries, then nibbled a taste. “Mmm... delicious.” She popped the fruit into her mouth, savoring and chewing. Zeke set the bowl close to her. “Only as many as you want, darlin’.” She nodded, selecting another one. Between berries, she asked, “Where do these grow?” Zeke leaned back, enjoying his wife as a husband should. “In the mountains, on the high alpine slopes.”

Hot, sticky and icky on the tame prairie, my summer lovely Kittens. Still, the Kougar might actually get to enjoy some fresh tomatoes... yep, little green ones have appeared. Currently, the tomato plants are going crazy with growth and blooms. Moi hopes it continues.
Uh oh, don’t believe a maowing-word of that... the food and garden Monsanto UN police will demand the purchase of a license and insist pesticides and proper chemical fertilizers be used. Nope, purring-promise, no unauthorized plants here.

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....
Part 177 ~Sylva automatically smiled. Sunbeams splashed inward, illuminating the maplewood table, already laden with breakfast. There was a grand view of a park that had been made to look like an English garden. It was an island of green surrounded by red desert, which had a spectacular beauty all its own. Saguaro cactus made regal outlines against the sapphire-tinted blue sky. The bright water-color patches of wildflowers caught her eye. “Wow,” she murmured. “It’s all so beautiful.” Letting him seat her while she still gazed out the wrap-around window, she asked, “Is this how your ranch looks? The desert, I mean.”
Zeke seated himself, nearly opposite her ~ feeling higher than the mountain peaks in the far distance. “The ranch is part of the tall prairie land, on the edge of the desert.” He placed a tall glass of various juices, spices and what he called the ‘super good stuff’ before her. “Taste, my Sylva.” Reaching for the glass, she offered, “It looks like what we call a smoothie.” She sipped. “Oh, yummy. Especially the strawberry taste.” Zeke watched her drink half of it. “I’ll finish,” she promised in response to his gaze. “It’ll take awhile for my stomach to wake up.”

A Trifecta Flash ~ Three was the theme of Mima, an award-winning erotic romance author, at the Liquid Silver Sex blog today. The flashes were all unique and lovely.
Here’s the Kougar’s flashie ~
Flash of Trifecta Dating ~
For a world with three suns it was dang cold. Svenra hugged herself, shivering as badly as an ancient landing pod.
“That’s what I get for making an out-of-this-world date,” she muttered, gazing skyward at the glistening purple haze of night.
Of course, her almost transparent bodysuit was little protection. Her nipples proudly poked the silky glimmer fabric. Instead of dark deep pink, her nipples shimmered with silvery aurora colors tinted by pale pink, their rigid texture faithfully displayed.
Why had she allowed her Aunt to persuade her into this lunacy?
“Oh, yeah, I was in heat then.” Svenra scowled.
Easing his cock into another position, Dascerr emitted an eager groan. Already the three ridged rings of his cock were swollen with need. That was going to make a stellar impression on the beautiful woman who waited for his appearance. His telescopic gaze, a feature of his race, moved over her svelte, yet exceptionally lush body. If he’d been here for a lust orgy instead seeking a bride, his manhood could have rule.
He growled a warning to his cock, then strode toward his tail-flicking impatient date. He was unforgivably late. Seeing her had briefly paralyzed him with ball-throbbing pleasure.
Svenra whipped around at the sound of a long purposeful stride, her tiny feline ears pricking forward. Resisting the urge to step back, she fastened her gaze on the warrior beast of a male who approached, his race canine. Was her beloved Aunt insane? Still, he was a hunk of burning-lava sexuality. The kind of male she fantasized about, but didn’t realistically want. Or, did she? She sniffed his odor for her, and was pleased.
Dascerr halted before his date. His voice missing in action, he stared at her lovely features, her emerald-aqua eyes. In honor, he bowed three times.~~~~~~
Geez Louise, my Beautiful Big Cats, when it rains it pours, meow-metaphorically speaking. Tons o’ stuff going on for the Kougar yesterday and today ~ including Google Alert letting moi know about a 4 Blue Ribbon Review for HER INSATIABLE DARK HEROES. Later this week, a bit of yowl-bragging, even if it’s not the coveted *5* Blue Ribbons.
~~~
Toad rescue complete... a couple of days ago a half-grown plump toadie entered the Kougar’s lair, courtesy of an open sliding glass door. Toadie fairly quickly escaped and hid himself despite a gentle pleading that he show himself. Nope, he was nowhere to be seen.
Last night, Toadie made an appearance, cooperating nicely as moi placed an empty Bush Bean’s can in front of him. Yeppers, he is now residing in the yard jungle.~~~
In the world of sorta strange, not to mew-mention the ever-present synchronicity... moi discovered via Google Alert that the print edition of WHEN A GOOD ANGEL FALLS is available for import sale to India. If anyone in India has purchased the Kougar’s 2012 fantasy, she certainly hopes they enjoy.
Yep and lift a feline brow, ‘Angel’ also has a page at Paperback Swap, evidently a club for swapping books. However, so far, there is no copy available, but one wish for a copy.
And give this a glimpse! The print publication date ~ how many twelves do you see?

Jason, the Horse ~
A little mention of last night’s Coast-to-Coastam, nighttime radio. Beware, the Kougar will not do the show proper justice, so if you’re fascinated check it out.
For the second time, a man named Jason was interviewed by host, Ian Punnett. What makes Jason so unique, so special? He has the soul of a horse. Or, he incarnated into human form for this lifetime from being a Black Shire, a draft breed of horse.
Before you clutch your sides with an overwhelming bout of hysterical laughter or simply think this guy is cuckoo for cocoa puffs... listen to him, to his story. And consider this ~ people who own horses contact him regularly for advice.
For one thing, this man is an absolute sweetheart of a guy. After his first appearance, moi e-mailed him a couple of times. He responded in a kind and thought-out manner, despite his severe illness. Currently, his health has improved to some degree, the reason he was on Coast again.
Another little fascination, he has people who contact him about their animal souls, the predominant animal... bet you could guess. It’s the wolf.
Plus, if you’re a shapeshifter author, this show is perfect for you.
~~~
Authoress mews and news ~
The Kougar has created a new forum home, courtesy of Holly at The Romance Studio, titled ~ Savanna Kougar ~ the Fantasy Lair ~
The forum will be in the Blue section and will be another home for moi’s serial flash, Happy Courtship on Another Earth, as well as for other free reads, plus blurbs and excerpts. Or, whatever fun this Big Kitten can devise, along with those who wish to join in.
However, it will be awhile before moi has time to set it up. This week is busy, busy with previous writerly obligations.~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....
Part 176 ~Sylva pressed her cheek to his chest for a moment, just to hear and feel his heartbeat, and because her cowboy was downright irresistible. Glancing back up at him, she flirtatiously crooned, “Guaranteed nutrition it is. After all I have to keep up your virile appetite... don’t I?” She lightly rocked her hips forward, brushing a tease over the standing length of his cock. “Mm-mm, my bride, if I didn’t have a serious matter to discuss with you, I’d make certain of your morning nutrition, then go for a gallop between those creamy delectable thighs of yours.” He grinned wickedly.
Zeke claimed her hands clasping them between his own. He shouldn’t have mentioned a serious discussion before her breakfast. Dang it, his lunging libido got the best of him this time. Worry already shadowed her radiant sky-colored eyes. Pivoting, he released her little hands, placing an arm around her shoulders. “I have some of the sweetest winterberries you’ve ever tasted.” Sweetly she stroked the back of his hand. He caught her hand, their fingers lacing. “What about your coffee?” Zeke stretched, retrieving the mug, then strolled with her toward the breakfast area, a sunny nook that overlooked the town park.

Roaring thanks from the Kougar...~~~
Oh, my precious Big Cats, disappointment reigns supreme. Yet there is not a particle of surprise at the politically convoluted response to Deirde Knight’s most excellent presentation of small print and e-author’s grievances. Ms. Pershing, president of the Romance Writer’s of America, didn’t bother to descend from her ivory tower in NY print-landia long enough to glance at the real issues concerning all of us authors.
Meow-no, her long-winded pontificating is the type of fertilizer which will grow further dissent and dissatisfaction. In fact, the Kougar must wonder if that was Ms. Pershing’s true covert purpose. If not, then moi is forced to consider Ms. Pershing’s state of mental health. Her ability to face realistically what is occurring in the world of romance publishing is utterly lacking.
Indeed, sad for us all. The time has come, in this Big Cat’s opinion, to go our own way, and serve our own interests as romance authors. Indeed, to wait for the election of a new president will not solve the years of the second class citizenship afforded to small print/e-authors.~~~
Just for the cowboy lovin’ big cats ~ a sneaky peekie X-snippet from BRANDED BY THE TEXANS...Good Lord, his brothers were going to angrily womp on him with their words. He deserved their wrath. They’d all agreed that whichever one of them lassoed their wife, they would bring her back to the ranch without biblically knowing her. Course, they hadn’t talked about being laid up at the hut for a spell while a storm raged.
Hell’s own snortin’ bull, he’d raged more than the storm to know her, and not only with his slowly ramming cock. He’d take the punishment Dono and Dash dished out, once he’d explained.~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....Part 175 ~Sylva responded to his welcoming impassioned smile. She walked toward him as he moved toward her. Setting his mug down, he embraced her waist tugging her close. His tall masculine frame felt just as sexy-splendid as she recalled. “How are you feeling, my beautiful wife?” Sylva decided he meant her state of health, rather than her emotions. “I seem to be holding my own given everything I’ve gone through. I mean coming to this Earth,” she added, so he wouldn’t think she complained about his overall treatment of her. His gaze beamed down at her. “How about some breakfast, darlin’?”
Zeke decided she had to be the softest curved woman in creation. At the same time, he felt the warrioress strength of her body and spirit. “There’s fresh fruit, a morning drink, toast and coffee,” he tempted. “I’ll order up anything you want, my Sylva. What do you usually have for breakfast?” She gave him a wan smile, yet her eyes glowed with appreciation. “Whatever I can manage in a few minutes. Breakfast has rarely been my thing. Except on special occasions.” She wiggled closer, her expression adorable. “What’s a morning drink?” Zeke gently claimed her butt, caressing. “Guaranteed nutrition.”

Grateful smooches to all the Dads from the Kougar...
Happy weekend, my gorgeous Big Kittens, cooler breezes on the tame prairie. Yet, yowl! Stickiness still rules.
Ever have that restless type of sleep where intense dreams inundate your brain? But you can’t quite figure out what the dreams are all about. In moi’s case, all she recalls is being a part of what was happening on a monitor type of screen while simultaneously creating what was happening. It was bizarre.
Okay *impatient tail switches* ... write the script of your own life could be an interpretation. So... what next?

Yep and meow, a big thank you to Brooke Borneman of Dorchester Publishing. The Kougar had e-sent a couple of questions about the Textnovel contest ~ textnovel.com/home.php ~ and Brooke answered them completely and in a manner this Big Cat author appreciated.
Next Wednesday, moi plans to post the second chapter of CURSES WERE STRANGE BEASTS.~~~
Authoress mews and news ~
Research of the fun horsie kind today, my Kittehs... see the fiery horse pic above. The Kougar searched for a rearing horse to use as a model for free-hand drawing her hero, Trail, in his flaming stallion form. Yay and neigh, the drawing is complete.

Once moi’s masterpiece *ahem* is scanned in, she’ll post it... find out what the Big Cats think.~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~

The bed empty, she blinked her eyes open and gingerly sat up. Even though the curtains were still drawn, the room was bright with sunlight. Scanning the room, she spied the ivory satin dressing gown draped over a mauve brocade chair. A frisson of uncertainly skittered through her as she moved to the edge of the bed, standing. Sylva slid into the liquid-beautiful gown, then wrapped it around her like a security blanket.
Zeke strolled to the window that provided the best view of the main street, a steaming mug of brewed coffee in one hand. Activity on New Year’s day was minimal, most everyone spent a lazy day or had private celebrations. From his latest investigation, it appeared Ranson had halted in New Peoria, over four hours away by air car. He took a careful sip, then savored. “Woowee, that’s tasty,” he whispered. It would be just like his old university rival to have discovered his marriage and planned a retaliation he justified. Hearing the tentative steps of his Sylva, he turned.
