An American Legend -- Pocahontas, the legend and the untold story
By Karen Kay
This picture to the right, by the way, is supposed to be the true image of Pocahontas. There is her son, Thomas, by her side. Off to the left here is a picture of Disney's Pocahontas, along with Irene Bedard, who was the voice of Pocahantas in Disney's movie. I've included above an image of what her true love might have looked like. Yes, she was truly in love, but with the man of her choice, which was Kocoum.
~~~~~~Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 488 ~Sylva took a breath, then continued, “what they’re calling the ‘magickal ones’. Those like me and Coon and Snake.” Drawing in another long breath, she focused. “There’s an ancient tunnel system that joins up with a tunnel system the Secret Circle has built. Coon believes there’s a way to use both tunnel systems to rescue his and Snake’s kin by hijacking one of their tunnel vehicles... one that, let’s see, how do I describe it?” Sylva stared at the image in her mind. “I think it’s automated and it looks like a futuristic caboose. He says he can mind control it.”
Zeke knew the type of caboose she spoke about. At least, he figured he did since they were in common usage in deep mining operations. “That’s how he and Snake were taken to the surface, the caboose. Let’s see,” she paused, scrunching her brow, “there’s a map of the facility’s exact location. The name on the territory is Republic of Utah. Yarrow River...” Zeke interrupted, “I know the location. There was an ancient civilization that built tunnels to escape an enemy that used a type of flight craft we’re still trying to figure out.” His Sylva blinked her eyes open.

After escaping, he and Joanna begin to feel deep emotional desires for each other. Knowing they cannot succeed alone, they join forces to free the prisoners. The stunning climax will bring them peace.'

AUTHORS/ASPIRING AUTHORS ~ here’s some info you might want ~PITCH TO PUBLISHERS ~ April 2010
Place to 'pitch' to publishers ~
Below is info on a new venture that Trinity at Castles in the Air is trying - a place where you can pitch to publishers. This is what she says.
Hello everyone my name is Trinity Blacio and I'm owner of The Publishing Trove.
~ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/publishingtrove ~
Starting on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 every Wednesday will be Pitch day. Every author will be able to pitch one story they are either working on or have finished. These authors will use our group to pitch their story. I will than ask each author to write a small brief Synopsis of their story and put it in the files section for publishers to view.
This is a great way for publishers to view what stories are out there and maybe contact said author.
Authors this is a way to let publishers know what your are creating.
I hope you will join us every Wednesday for our pitch day.
Don't forget Publishers may also hold chats to let us know what they are looking for just contact me at: trinityblacio12 @ gmail.com
Thank you Trinity Blacio.
P.S. Publishers take note you do not have to say anything on the group. This is why I'm creating the files section if you want to contact an author you may do so with out anyone in this group knowing about it.~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 487 ~Sylva watched understanding dawn in Zeke’s amazing whiskey-colored eyes. He gave a nod. “I see what you mean, darlin’.” Sylva yawned, despite herself, and stretched. “Yeah, as I think about it, it’s sort like a camera shot. You could take an aerial shot of a forest as a psychic and get a certain impression. Or you can focus in one tree and pick up those individual frequencies.” Settling herself on the stool more comfortably, she asked, “Is it on?” Her sexy cowboy pulled up another stool and sat down. “Sure is.” He pointed the device in her direction. “Whenever you’re ready, Sylva.”
Zeke wondered at her hesitation, cocking his head. Leaning forward, she whispered, “Can anyone else hear us, see us? This needs to remain private between us for right now.” Double-checking, Zeke turned around toward the com unit. “Everything is off,” he assured. “Just you and me, darlin’.” His wife shut her eyes and appeared to be looking inward. “Okay,” she muttered, “there’s a place called Yarrow River Ridge and located inside the canyon rock is a facility.” She paused. “It’s lined in some way that inhibits psychic ability. Coon thinks they are doing all sorts of ‘dastardly’ experiments on the...”

ROARING BIG CAT RANT!!!WILL THE REAL HOARDERS PLEASE STAND UP... Yeah, that’s going to happen. While we are being exhorted to confess our hoarding sins as the common folk... oh, yes, there’s help, little people... just confess, we can help you... you don’t have to be a *whisper, whisper... point, point* hoarder... Okay, the Kougaress’s question: WHO ARE THE REAL HOARDERS ON THE PLANET?
Well, the Vatican, for ONE. They have an underground facility that has compiled a ton o’ ancient documents that none of us ever gets to see, or know about. Documents that could literally enlighten the entire world to a new consciousness. Not only that they have devices from ancient civilizations and current inventions that could uplift humanity in amazing and wonderful ways, including what has been called a time travel TV. That is, you can watch history happening for real. Don’t believe it, just do your own research.
TALK ABOUT SCUM CRIMINAL HOARDERS!!! What about the BIG OIL companies that are hoarding all those energy devices that would put them out of business in a heartbeat? Now, that’s REAL HOARDING.
AND! WHAT ABOUT ALL THE BLACK OPS programs... mygawd!!! They are the ultimate hoarders!!! The ultimate villains who have not the slightest compassion for humanity. Not those who control the programs, anyway. They have technology that is, at least, conservatively, fifty years ahead of anything we’re allowed. Some insiders say one hundred years ahead. Yes, the kind of technology that would dramatically improve life on Earth to the point where a *lack of resources* would no longer be a problem.
If hoarding in our culture is such a big effing psychological deal, why the hell aren’t the REAL HOARDERS in our world being called on the carpet? Why aren’t THEY being called on to confess? Why aren’t THEY being pursued and ‘helped’? Oh, the poor things... let’s all help them by relieving them of all that phenomenal tech, of all those books that were also in the ancient Alexandria library.
Hell, even the Smithsonian, and institutions like it, are GIANT HOARDERS!!! They have tons of exceptional ‘finds’ in their basements, hidden away, the ones that can’t be explained by the current ‘dogmatic’ theories of our past, but should be on display because they are real artifacts. But no, we don’t get SEE those discoveries, either.
Yeah, why don’t ALL THOSE who are so worried about hoarding as a psychological disease about to bring down the western world, go after the REAL HOARDERS, THE BIG HOARDERS, those who are impacting life on Earth in such a gigundis negative way, we are ALL SUFFERING because of it. Hell, the whole economy has tanked. Just one new energy source that is cheap and available to ALL would turn this planet around overnight.
Instead of picking on folks who are probably just following the natural human instinct to gather up, stock up on what might not be available in the future... don’t tell me our ancestors weren’t hoarders every chance they got just to survive... all these folks probably need is some real love and some compassion and a real helping hand when it comes to organizing. Not some psycho-babble crap that is a mental disease unto itself. Not some idiot so-called professionals who don’t OWN THE BALLS to go after the REAL CRIMINAL HOARDERS in this world. Geez, talk about little pathetic cowards wrapped in their own self-righteous mantles.

Oh, deliciously cute and darling Kittens, it’s a full moon today and it’s a springtime breezy day on the tame prairie... gorgeous, and wowza, is Spring ever springing everywhere! No, the Kougaress can’t keep up with everything that needs to be done outside.Before moi went beddie-bye, about five thirty or so in the morning, she saw Mother Moon low on the western horizon, an intense tangerine color... so intense, so tangerine, it was beyond amazing.Earth is such a spectacularly beautiful planet, such a giving loving mother to us all, the Kougaress just can’t get over why companies like Monsanto would ever be allowed to destroy her. Anything humanity has ever done on an individual level can’t compare to the horror of destruction Monsanto has achieved, the killing, the raping, the poisoning. It hurts more everyday to watch it, feel it. Yet, have no immediate way to stop it. Grrrrrrr...!!!Still, how do you live with the sublime awe-incredible beauty of Earth and, at the same time, the destruction of that beauty? The joy of being on Earth is a constant. The sadness is also a constant, similar to watching someone you love die.Apologies, KitKats, these times seem to call for deep thoughts and deep soul truths.~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 486 ~Sylva knew Coon had chosen her, not only because he’d been able to reach out and place a scenario in her mind, but he figured she could also tell it so only Zeke knew. Why, she wasn’t exactly certain, except that he had no reason to trust those who ran the center, not knowing them, or about them until now. “Psychic isn’t all-inclusive,” she muttered. “What, darlin’?” Zeke seated her on a comfy stool. Opening a relatively small cabinet above a com system, that looked similar to the one in the apartment, he rummaged inside, pulling out a wand-type device.
Zeke held up the small camera-recorder. “This will do the trick. Psychic isn’t all-inclusive?” he reminded, curious to know what she’d meant, curious to know her, his woman. “Oh, it just hit me that people think if you’re psychic you should just automatically know everything. The lotto numbers, for example. How the whole world works.” She snapped her fingers. “Poof, you automatically know the wisdom of the ages. And everything there is to know. That simply isn’t true. I suppose it’s compartmentalized like everything else. I mean who could handle all that info, unless you’re operating at a higher consciousness.”

Beautiful Big Cats, how has your day been? Busy, busy, and strange for the Kougaress, including trying help an older gentleman get back home who couldn’t speak well enough to be understood. The tame prairie is not the place to get lost in, either... it can be downright dangerous... however, a happy conclusion eventually came about after much effort on the parts of several of us.~~~
CHEAP, NON-TOXIC FLY TRAP... and it’s free, free, free!!! What is it, friends? Well, this Big Cat likes to collect and pour her gray water on the plants outside, inside, too. Anyway, she’d put water in a Paul Newman pasta sauce jar to rinse it out and was planning to add that water to her gray water... well, overnight, several flies met their untimely demise, floating on top of the water in the jar... not that there are that many flies around... in fact, none now.
ANOTHER TIP: Purchase lots of sea salt. No, not the crappy table salt stuff, but real sea salt. It has all the good minerals in it that your body needs. Since it looks as though THEY are making salt an enemy of mankind, now is the time to make certain you have this life-necessary substance and stock up on the good kind.~~~

From what I’ve seen so far.” Moving inward, she continued, “This looks like a suite at the Ritz, as they’d say on my Earth.” Her cowboy husband embraced her from behind. “Is that so?” he bantered. Sylva let go, leaning back against his strength. “Yep. What next?” She ran her hands over his arms, caressing him. “I think the day is catching up with me.” She sighed, then added, “Now that all the excitement is temporarily over. Oh, wait, the download.”
Zeke frowned, wondering how to handle Coon’s download. This was new runnin’ territory for him. “What do you think, darlin’? I’ll bet you’d like a tub soak.” His woman turned in his arms. “Do you have something to record with? Once it’s out, I have a feeling I may not be able to recall the details... if that makes sense. Course, this whole thing doesn’t make sense.” Zeke searched his Sylva’s bewildered, yet determined gaze. “Yep, this way.” Stroking her shoulders, he guided her toward the communication’s center. “Is there a way to make this only between us, right now?”

I'm particular about my book covers as most authors are and should be. No one knows our story and characters better.Moi’s mew-sings ~Bekki, I hadn't really thought about your white backgrounds, but they're perfect for your two stories and have a special impact, especially when placed next to other cover art.
I especially love LAST GLASS OF WINE!
As a contemporary cover, JEWEL OF THE SUN is a gorgeous statement about your heroine and hero.
Sex may sell, but if the cover art doesn't fairly represent the story, I have no use for it.
And, I do think some of the cover art has gone to an extreme I find *not palatable*. Actually, it's just a huge turn off. And I'm damn liberal about nudity in general.
Still, there's a difference between the body as sexy art and a *wham-bam-no-thank-you maam* cover.~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 484 ~Sylva regretted her words an instant after they passed her lips. What if... she didn’t know quite ‘what if’... actually, it was ridiculous that she even worried about his response given their current danger-filled circumstances. She blinked and stiffened. Her cowboy swung her before him. “You.” He caught her chin bringing her gaze beneath his. “Not to say those magickal talents of yours aren’t needed and wanted. Sylva, darlin’, you, your nature, your character,” he paused for a heartbeat, “I love you.” She wasn’t going to argue with her strong handsome husband, even if it seemed too soon for those words.
Zeke basked in the smile his woman beamed at him. “I’m learning to love you,” she whispered. Her heart tentatively shone in her eyes, beautiful and fragile, his gift for all eternity. “Let’s go get settled in,” he murmured, just to say something, and because he wanted to be alone with her. With her, his Sylva. Once they got through the download of information Coon had given her, he hoped they could simply be with each other, and continue their honeymoon. With a small nod, she nuzzled his palm, then pressed a kiss to his fingertips. “I’d like that, cowboy.”

~~~ Flash of Dance With Me ~~~Sunday Flash Fiction featured at the LIQUID SILVER SEX blog ~
Dance by mima
My favorite scene in my next Bonded fantasy...
~~~
Moi’s flashie ~ a continuation of the third flash she wrote ~
Ignored as usual...
ONE ~
Ignored as usual, she swayed to the sultry rhythms as she sat, occasionally sipping on the old-fashioned Sangria. It was the usual crowd, couples making themselves hotter, their bodies twined together like pretzels. And those who despised dancing, thinking the art of the music was all. Shaking her hair, she missed the man headed her way. A viking of a man. His golden russet mane waved below his shoulders...had he stepped off a dragon ship? Stunned as he strode toward her, she drank in his muscled thighs, impressive beneath leather pants.
“Dance with me,” he commanded, extending his hand.
TWO ~
Trepidation raced through her like wildfire. Instantly, her palms became clammy. His sheer size made her feel like cowering, not to mention all that mass of hard muscle. He could probably snap her like a twig, even if she wasn’t the 60's model, Twiggy.
Still, the command of his icy azure eyes and his domineering stance compelled her to extend her own hand. And something else, her own sharp prick of curiosity. Why would a man like him want to dance with her? The drive to know why had her standing up. He clasped her hand.
“Your beauty pleases me.”
THREE ~
Shocked to say the least, Kayanna moved before him simply because he compelled it. Holding her hand in a strange courtly fashion, he peered down at her from what looked like nosebleed height.
His gaze, somehow blazing and somehow frigid, made a survey of her face. Kayanna felt plundered. Only it was the kind of plunder she’d fantasized about...wickedly delicious, turn-me-on plunder. She’d never dared believe it could ever be real.
All she really wanted was to dance, feel his body up close and personal. To be polite, she asked, “What’s your name?”
“Later, I will reveal my name.”~~~~~
Dance scene snippet [unedited] ~ KANDY APPLE FOR HALLOWEENNot doubting that for a second, Kandace followed him as he walked backwards with a dancer’s lithe power. The dark glisten of his eyes compelled her to match his movements.
“Zin.”
The sensation of her body flowing toward him became real as his arm clasped her waist and he pressed her against his virility. That’s what he felt like, hard polished virility. His beast smoky scent didn’t merely fill her nostrils, but seeped into every crevice of her, including her sweltering sex crevice.
Zin dreamily whirled her onto a surface meant for dancing. Like magic, ceiling lights created a silvery blue radiance around them. In her head Ella Fitzgerald’s beyond-compare voice crooned what Kandace felt.
“You do that something to me, that something that simply mystifies me,” she sang just for Zin.
He paused, draping her over his arm, his gaze blatant with desire, yet lit with curiosity.
“Tell me why should it be,” she throatily continued, “you have the power to hypnotize me?”
“My Kandy Apple,” he rasped so seductively, she wasn’t quite prepared for his next move.
With utter ease, he twirled her, then brought her flush against him. He swayed her body with such suave demand, Kandace clung to him, molten to her core.
Definitely magic, the melody from Cole Porter’s song enveloped them.~~~~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 483 ~Sylva cocked her head, fascinated by what Nevada said. “The technicians are in heaven studying the design,” he continued. “Some newfangled advancement I don’t understand.” He paused as Eduardo whispered in his ear. “Snake is being right cooperative, so far, telling all he knows.” Nevada glanced at her, then at his son. “Why don’t you two settle in? I think it’s handled for now.” Taking a step forward, Sylva offered her hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Vintorr.” His answering smile blew her away, it was so welcoming. Bowing his head briefly, he took her hand, pressing it between his.
Zeke allowed the happiness swelling his heart to reign in the following moments. His precious Sylva already belonged to his family, and was treasured in a way she probably didn’t understand, yet. Squeezing her shoulders, he gave a nod to his dad, then pivoted them back down the corridor. “There’s so much good in your world, that I’ve seen so far.” His wife clasped hands with him affectionately. “It’s overwhelming, actually.” Zeke rumbled a chuckle. “You’re overwhelming, darlin’ mine. And I mean you.” She giggled a bit, swinging his hand. “Do you mean, not because of my talents, but me?”

Yep, my Sunday Springtime KitKats, that’s how this Big Cat is feeling... she could scratching-rip through layers of material... is it the rain and cooler temps? Life in general? Everything in general? The valley and peak of hormones? Something else? Something impending, looming like a black humongous cloud overhead... or, is it the constant writerly search for non-repeating words... how many words for a man’s physical strength are there, modern usage, not in ye olden days where the license to describe is much freer, freewheeling and more free-flowing? Not damn many words! The Kougar is wracking her kitten brain while trying to create the written art of the love story... yowls and grrrr-howls, the English language is so lacking at times!!!Here’s the August 1990 edition of The Bantam Collegiate Roget’s Thesaurus synonyms for Irascible ~ as follows ~Irritable, touchy, ill-humored, bad-tempered, excitable, testy, grumpy, choleric, impatient, cantankerous, quarrelsome, grouchy, peevish, quick-temperedNo, IRASCIBLE... that will do it... though, Cat-tankerous sounds all too growling-delicious, and must be used at a later date.~~~~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 482 ~Sylva felt like a damn computer hard drive. Or her brain did. A complete scene had unfolded, more vivid than a movie. Not to mention she simply knew, understood the details, as if she’d memorized them, of how Coon believed his and Snake’s loved ones could be rescued. “Ready for ya.” Coon spoke to Nevada, then came to a halt before him. “Good. Sooner we get this handled, the happier I’ll be.” The door slid open and Coon jauntily entered, disappearing from Sylva’s view. “He wanted our escort,” Zeke answered the questioning gaze of his dad. “Is Snake’s pistol still a danger?”
Zeke figured he’d discover what had been ‘downloaded’ to his wife before he talked with his father. There was something about the whole situation that had him teetering on the edge of a cliff, more and more, despite their relative safety. He didn’t get any gut sense of a direct attack, or an immediate threat to anyone he loved. Something in the future, though, an ambush in the planning stages. First things first, he decided. “Good dang news on that front, son. Turns out, using that new equipment, we found the pistol’s turn off signal, a series of laser pulses.”

Mother Nature knows how! And for more seducing fun check out this blog the Kougaress found while researching for her latest WIP ~ http://weapons-of-mass-seduction.blogspot.com ~The Kougar has neglected Armondo for several days now... heck and the quickening, it could even be a week’s time that she had this incredible seductive dream starring Armondo... who is Armondo? In this sexy, but complicated dream, Armondo looks like Adrian Paul and claimed to be his twin... no, not in this Earth dimension... in another Earth dimension... wow! Now, that’s a purrfect dream for this Big Cat girl, given she doesn’t go after another woman’s man, even in a dream. But... is Armondo telling the truth? Okay, he did appear more like a swashbuckler in the type of clothing he wore... not what would be worn in our contemporary world... still, who is Armondo, really? Oh, wouldn’t, the Kougaress love finding out.
~~~~~~
In defense of Jesse Ventura... yep, this Big Cat knows Mr. Venture does not need her clawing-defense, however, the Kougaress can no longer stand all the lies told by the corporate media and it’s whore journalists. So, loud grrrrrr-ing roars, Mr. Ventura is telling the truth... this so-called mainstream journalist is fart-lying out his you know what!!!A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on.

Okay, Kittens! This is important news for all you Felines who may be affected by the deluge of house foreclosures going on. Mortgage fraud *perpetrated against the homeowner* is rampant out there in the courtrooms of America. False and fraudulent documents are being *used by banks* to gain a foreclosure. Homeowners are winning victories against this fraud. What follows is from the Power Hour e-newsletter ~ http://powerhour.com ~LISA EPSTEIN of Florida is "a huge committee of one" who has made it her life mission to shift the stigma surrounding good, hard-working Americans who have been foreclosed upon and to expose the real "financial terrorists" that have engineered the theft of the fruits of millions of American's savings and daily labor.If you, An American Citizen, get a foreclosure notice:
1) Do not leave your home, and, if you have already left your home,
2) File a complaint with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,
3) Arm yourself with education as you defend your home from illegal intruders and criminal home thieves,
4) Learn how to educate yourself and demand that the bank/s that want to take your home and toss you out onto the street has the RIGHT to do so. Educate and learn how to demand that the banks prove that they have the LEGAL RIGHT to do so,
5) Search the internet for help with foreclosure defense.

THE WRITTEN WORD . . . Flirting With Proverbs~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 481 ~Sylva listened carefully to Coon’s words, furtively glancing at him. This Earth had so many incredibly good things, what she’d learned about so far. Yet, this whole taboo thing on psychic powers had her downright scared, especially because somehow she developed hers in amazing leaps and bounds. Yet, she realized that didn’t keep her from being fooled. It’s not like her powers could be counted on. Sylva sighed with the sudden responsibility. She longed big time to help out however she could. Still, how did she manage the psychic side of herself? What did it mean for her and Zeke?
Zeke kept his Sylva protectively wrapped in his embrace. “Once you and Snake recover we’ll figure out a way to get your kin.” Up ahead of them, Nevada waited at one of the doors, watching their approach. Zeke recognized Eduardo, one of the center’s top investigators. “Know how to get our kin back,” Coon stated, “now that my head has cleared of all that there static noise.” Thinking quick, Zeke stage whispered, “Wanna let me know before Eduardo takes a crack at your noggin.” Coon didn’t answer, but indicated his bride with a subtle nod. “Download complete,” she softly acknowledged.

May your most romantic dreams come true...Sky at sunset kiss from the Kougar...
Rainy day greetings, KitKats, green is definitely the color of the hour... my gosh the tame prairie has turned amazingly intensely verdant, and, of course, Springtime beautiful.Yep, sweet and sassy-paw Kittens, ever try to find something you think you need, in order, to get something else done, then end up going through all that stuff you really need to go through, but haven’t had the time or energy to do before... but now, there it is... and, on top of it, you never do find what you were looking for... however, that problem gets resolved, but then... well, moi’s desk sort of got straightened up. Yowl!Plus, now the Kougar’s books are prominently displayed... loud purrs of satisfaction.~~~~~~
Image and info from: http://3.villanova.edu/centennial/js1g.htm ~Liberty and Pine Tree Flags, "An Appeal to Heaven"Throughout the early Revolutionary War period there were several of these "Liberty Tree" flags used by the colonists. Preble recounts the story of this famous tree in his book, Our Flag: The old liberty tree in Boston was the largest of a grove of beautiful elms that stood in Hanover square at the corner of Orange . . . and Essex streets . . . It received the name of liberty tree, from the association called the Sons of Liberty holding their meetings under it during the summer of 1765. The ground under it was called Liberty Hall. A pole fastened to its trunk rose far above its branching top, and when a red flag was thrown to the breeze the signal was understood by the people. Here the Sons of Liberty held many notable meetings, and placards and banners were often suspended from the limbs or affixed to the tree (135).After some time, meetings were held at this tree and following the repeal of the Stamp Act and the Boston Tea Party, the British cut down the tree. Thus, it became a symbol for the colonists. ~~~
Earth Day Before Earth Day... this is an Earth Day worth remembering for all of us right now. Those who loved freedom, those who took their lives in their hands to meet out in nature beneath ‘the old liberty tree’... those who appealed to heaven for an end to persecution by the British crown, not the British people. For without true freedom for all of us, our beloved Earth is doomed. For the Mother, Gaia, will not survive the horrors of those who would govern the world and enslave us all, those who falsely claim only THEY can save the planet, that we must *pay* them to save Earth from weather changes. Daily, THEIR Star Wars Empire’ lies and THEIR horrendous chemicals kill the Mother’s lands, her animals, her plants. Gaia is on the side of the people and asks us to be on her side, as well.~~~~~~

Oops, the Kougar forgot to post this earlier this week ~Weekly Angelic Forecast from VolcanoStraight from the Carnal Cherub himself...Angelic Forecast ~ #85The following week is a moment in the spin of time that remains hidden, the final outcome unknown. It is wise for all of us to use our highest discernment, to remain spiritually connected with the Divine, and to send love over the Earth. To love each other as never before. For, whatever occurs it is love that will make the difference. Love, and then truth. For, the truth is likely to be obscured like the moon covered by storm clouds. It is up to each one of us to seek the truth, and act upon it.On a personal level, make certain you are well supplied with the essentials, as if you were about to ride out a storm. This is merely wise and there’s no time like the present to gather up what you need, and store it for that time when you’ll be glad it’s there.Like many of us, you may be holding your breath, waiting for the other giant shoe to drop.

Empowered by being able to use her power with Coon, still this ability shook her to the core. Her expression must have given her away because Zeke gave her shoulders a casual squeeze. “No different than if you ploughed your fist into him, Sylva.” His tone sought to soothe her and she gave him an uncertain nod. “It is different.” Coon straightened slowly. “Hurts more.” The pain on his face didn’t appear fake to her. “Why do you look younger?” she demanded, figuring she might as well go with her seeming advantage. Coon smiled with huge relief.Zeke zeroed in on Coon narrowing his gaze. “Let’s go. You can explain on the way.” Shifting his focus to the manager, he nodded for Josh to take the lead. “This way, Mr. Vintorr.” The martial arts expert turned on his heel, moving toward one of the spoke-like corridors. Zeke knew it was the highest security area of the center, inside and outside. “You wanna know?” Coon companionably asked, as they followed. “Snake and I was threatened with losing our lives to old age, along with losing our kin, if we didn’t do what we was told by them sidewinders.”~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 479 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ http://passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

May your most romantic dreams come true...Earth day rolls and rainy kisses from the Kougar...
Pic from ~ http://bookscans.com ~After hump day meows, my frolicsome and fierce Felines... yep, this Big Cat girl is a sucker for this type of vintage picture... why? She really has no clue... whatever’s in the air isn’t agreeable to the Kougaress... she’s slow-moving as molasses at times... still, yowls, she’s making progress on her WIP, KANDY APPLE FOR HALLOWEEN, and even took some time to chat on the Talking Two Lips loop since it’s Siren-BookStrand day.Oh, excitement is rising... yep and purrs, the Kougar e-winged her cover art for BRANDED BY THE TEXANS to Siren-BookStrand for tentative approval... actually, what’s depicted could have come from one erotic love scene in the story, given this is the ‘having sex’ room’s amber-hued illumination.~~~
Sorta Rumbling Rant ~
A tiny tale, and a large switch of the Kougaress’s tail... around fourth grade or so, it finally hit this cub that sometimes the other kids acted on the urge to make some one else feel small, so they felt bigger, or so they could feel that moment of being powerful. It’s a false power that only brings everyone down, however, this cub watched it happen over and over again as she grew up.
She never quite understood this need to bring someone else down, in order, for that momentary high, though it seemed to be addictive for a few kids.... however, given the fact that most kids were probably emotionally abused in some manner, as most of us have experienced, simply because our parents and most folks have been abused, whether mentally, emotionally, physically, sexually... well, it’s understandable that it would show up, that kids would act out what had been done to them... to her shame, moi participated in this once as a young teenager... one of those odd situations that should never have occurred, but did.
During this Big Cat’s life, this particular one-upmanship game became even more cruel in Junior High and High School, a tool used by the cliques to gain and keep their false power. Effectively used, though. However, to what good end? How did it benefit anyone, really? How did it lift anyone up? How did it create an environment where all could thrive and live their true passions? And, thus, improve life on Earth.
This underlying destructiveness stifled WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN, a much happier environment, more creative, more world-changing-for-the-better environment for everyone. A place where achievement would have been a natural force, instead of a duplicitous and hypocritical force that actually squelched the freedom to become your fullest potential, to achieve as a human being.
So, why has this destructive one-upmanship continued century after century on this planet? Why has it continued despite all the self-help breakthroughs or self-actualizing therapies that have emerged for the past fifty plus years. Why?
No, it’s not natural human behavior, at least, not beyond a certain age.
Realistically, this behavior, this particular dysfunctional dynamic should have died a natural death a long time ago in our world. Anyone who has ever thought about it realizes it’s a no-win game in the end. That it doesn’t help their life in any way, and doesn’t help society, in general. The key, though, this behavior has been carefully and masterfully manipulated, or fostered by THOSE who can never measure up to you, or to any human being, and THEY know it.
Still, THEY would prove their god-like power the same way a serial killer often does, by out-smarting the human race with their supposedly higher intelligence. THESE PSYCHOPATHS have co-opted society and the institutions of society in such a way, that they operate like the royals in feudal England, who intentionally killed off any tall, strong peasant, thus reducing the overall size of the population.
At it’s most basic it’s called kill off the competition instead of becoming a better competitor. Or, it would be like one football team murdering the top players of another team, in order, to win, instead of improving their skills and the play of their team. Or, in our romance novel world, it’s like one author intentionally giving another author a bad review and getting her buddies to attack that author’s book, just so she can rise higher on a bestseller list.
How do you effectively kill off the human spirit? You get them to destroy each other with one-upmanship on a daily basis. A constant, never-ending barrage, a way of beating individuals into a mental dysfunctional pulp by the use of all sorts of subtle propaganda methodologies. One simple example ~ heroin-skinny super models ~ there’s nothing human or natural about that whole sick trend. Nothing. Yet, how many anorexics and bulimics now exist?
Another upshot of all this is what Katherine Austin Fitz, financial wizardess, contends ~ The *System* is designed to suppress wealth, not build wealth. Or, we’ve all been striving to economically improve our lives while being shot down at every turn by the System, itself. Or, you know, like... what is that... whack a mole?
Imagine, if you will, the person who put you down the most in your life, is now in control of your life... yep, that’s the state of our current world. The worst of the worst playground bullies are in charge, and pulling all the strings. And, they intend to keep pulling. THEY intend our destruction in any way THEY can get it done. Why? Because THEY ARE PSYCHOPATHS.~~~~~~

By Crystal Kauffman
I've been partying so hard all week in celebration of my release of Claiming Lady Marianne from Ellora's Cave the time almost got away from me.~~~
Check out this excellent blog by Cara Bristol ~ sex words in the English language ~
http://carabristol.wordpress.com ~Moi’s mew-sings ~
Cara, right on and amen. The English language is totally pitiful when it comes to love, sex and true passion. It's an effing challenge to write scenes because of this. I've given it the ole creative effort and sometimes others don't get my usage of words, or the words I create. Well, whatever... at least, I'm being faithful to my heroines and heroes.
In my opinion, as a society we are INFANTILE when it comes to sex, love and passion. So sad. I'm doing my best to change that as I know other author/writers are... but, it's a mountainous uphill battle.~~~
AND! Another fab topic at Victoria Janssen’s blog on writing emotions ~ http://victoriajanssen.blogspot.com ~Moi’s mew-sings ~
Great topic. That COVER is too good. I have to filch it.
For me, I find it to be a balancing act. I want my writing crafted well enough that the emotions of my heroines and heroes are shown, experienced.
Technique alone, imo, will only get you so far. Look at that the novel, Love Story. I read the novel and saw the movie. I cried buckets during the movie. The emotion of the novel moved me.
But all the following knock-offs were hollow, stupid, an emotional rip off. What was that sort of recent one? some on a boat thing by a guy author they made a movie out of... all I can say is ICK... I couldn't get past the first page.
To be honest, one my big complaints about some romance novels is that the emotions make no sense because the story to back them up isn't there. They're hollow. I don't care how good the rest of the story is, or how trendy, or how well written.
She's sad. Okay, so what? Why? What brought her to this emotional state? Just talking about it doesn't do it for me. I want to FEEL why, or, at least, know her real memories.
To the best of my ability, I write what my heroines and heroes are feeling, their true emotions. Yes, my style of writing isn't for everyone. That being said, I don't MAKE UP what my heroines and heroes feeling. I'm writing them, their story.
Okay, which do I want more? Virtual chocolate (virtual emotions) or real chocolate (real emotions) that I'm eating, tasting. Well, honey, it ain't the virtual chocolate.~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 479 ~Sylva turned toward Zeke. On guard, given the power Coon suddenly exuded, she uttered, “If you say it’s okay.” Enfolding her protectively, her cowboy husband gazed at Coon, ferocious as a Grizzly bear. “Why don’t we try a little test first. That is, if you don’t mind.” With a droll grin, Coon drawled, “Don’t mind a bit. Your bride’s still got the mojo over me.” He stroked his beard. “Wanna fry some of this hair off my face to prove it?” Sylva’s stomach clenched. It’s not like she really wanted to endanger or hurt anyone, just to prove she could do it.
Zeke wracked his brain for a quick solution. He had a hunch Coon had something to say he wanted to hear. Still, what did he trust? Obvious as blue sky and white clouds, Coon’s powers had increased. About to suggest another part of his anatomy to ‘test’, Zeke stepped back instead, keeping his Sylva embraced. Coon suddenly stumbled backwards, doubling over as if he’d been punched hard in the solar plexus. “Told you,” he croaked out, clutching his belly. “Did you do that, darlin’?” His wife nodded. “I imagined hauling off and hitting him right square in the solar plexus.”

Rainbows Are Good For You... yeah, surprise... apparently there’s an article in a woman’s magazine that talks about the science and/or reasons rainbows are good for you... okay, no problem, always good to know... but, really, who hasn’t figured that one out on their own?
Poets certainly know it. Everyone this Big Cat knows, knows it. Unless in a deep state of mourning or depression witnessing a rainbow always uplifts the soul, that part of us that is divine and connected to the Divine
Looking at the colors of rainbow, according to the article, resets your frequencies. Well, thank you to the Divine.

An important statement to and from the Kougaress’s heart and soul follows ~ there are so many! Innocent folks in jail, in prison these days, in our beloved country. It’s utterly mind-boggling. It’s so unbelievably sad... a whole lot of these individuals are *political prisoners* in our so-called free country. Honestly, Kittens, moi would never have believed our beloved country could have sunk to such deplorable depths.
Of course, with about eighty percent of Americans saying via a poll they don’t trust the government... well, why should we? Innocence means nothing. Doing the right thing means nothing. Attempting to be a good citizen, to be law-abiding means nothing. In fact, if you tell the truth you’re likely to end up being persecuted and made a political prisoner.
Yes, once again, yesterday, an innocent man was sentenced to a prison term for a crime he didn’t commit. How? The government lied. Plain and simple, the government lied.
Blessing to all those who have been wrongly prosecuted and are being persecuted. Blessing to all those who are political prisoners. May truth and freedom win the day for all our sakes.~~~~~~

Series... gotta love 'em!
I absolutely love both writing and reading series.Moi’s mew-sings ~
I prefer series with the same couple like JD Robb's In Death, or like the old TV series, Hart to Hart. And, that's the way I write series, living my couple's adventurous and passionate life as a continuum of Happily Ever After, to me that's really a HEA.
However, I think it would be ultra cool, if another author wanted to write a novel about one of my secondary characters, as part of an expanded series in that world.~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 478 ~Sylva sought the gaze of her cowboy husband, conflicted about what occurred. She had no objection to helping Coon. She certainly understood why he would be wary and obstinate. “What should I do?” she asked. “I mean, I don’t how things are done around here.” Gently gripping her upper arm, Zeke turned them toward Coon. “Why don’t we find out what’s goin’ on first?” Moving forward, he called over his shoulder, “Howard, could you look out for our cases?” Coon’s features broke into a smile. To Sylva’s astonishment he looked, at least, ten years younger. She gawked. What was going on?
Zeke settled his gaze on Coon like a hawk looking for its next meal. Layers of aging had disappeared from his face. Probably, the Secret Circle had deliberately aged him and Snake, either as a threat, or as a way to disguise who they were. Course, it could have been a method of controlling their magickal abilities. “What’s the problem?” he demanded, once they were in earshot. Coon eyed him steadily. “I ain’t got my full powers. I’d like yer wife to help me out. If you two could walk me to wherever they’re takin’ me, I’d mightily appreciate it.”
