Veronica Lake in the movie, I Married a Witch [1942] ~ Pic from ~ sexywitch.wordpress.com/2010/09/30/i-married-a-witch-press-photos ~ TREAT YOURSELF, Kittens, romp on over to this maowrrr-velous blog. All Hallow’s Eve blessings, my Beautiful Big Cats... may the following year be one filled with your sweetest and wildest dreams... those that sustain your heart and soul. Now is the time to look past the campaign of fear. Now is the time to join with Gaia, our Beloved Mother Earth, and create the lives we were meant to live as her cherished human beings. ~~~~~~
Oh, the Seductive Glamor ~ moi adores such, but, no yowls-darn it, the Kougaress has not seen this vintage film. Yet. But, question: why is it Veronica Lake, starring as a witch, far outshines the male lead, Fredric March? At least, in the photos. Why is it Kim Novak outshone Jack Lemon in Bell, Book and Candle? And, why did Samantha in BEWITCHED shine like a beautiful, brilliant full moon, her light merely cast on Darren? Now, in contrast, the witchy women in CHARMED, while going through a number of lovers and would-be lovers... did have some lesser male leads when compared to their starry-luminous power... however, some of the men were deliciously boldly powerful. Is this merely because of their paranormal natures, the fact that many of them were only partly human??? Note: The Kougar found this tidbit fascinating. Evidently there is a scene in I MARRIED A WITCH where Veronica Lake is sliding down and up the stairway rail, or bannister [gee, how blatantly suggestive is that?]. Anyhoo-boo, my witch heroine, Kandy Apple, slides part way down a long bannister after stealing a painting. She’s made herself invisible to make a perfect getaway. However, hellhounds being what they are, she’s not invisible to them. Neither is her butt, covered only by her sheer black pantyhose. So, is sliding on a stairway rail or bannister simply irresistible to a witch? Or simply irresistible? ~~~~~~

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 671 ~ Sylva dipped her finger between her steamy-hot folds. Bypassing the ache of her clit, she slipped her fingertip along the seam of her pussy. Zeke watched as she withdrew it. “See, cowboy. Wet.” What happened next surprised her. Her husband whooped a yell, then launched on top of her. He rolled with her several times to the center of the bed. Sylva adored it, feeling wildly sexy beneath him. Zeke grabbed her hand, then sucked her fingertip seductively. “Damn, darlin’ mine, you do taste good. Why don’t you spread those sweet thighs of yours, and give me your wet bud?” Zeke groaned as his woman undulated like a temptress against his heavier-than-a-log cock. “You sure you don’t want that huge ole torch to be put out first?” she throatily crooned. “I mean, I am soooo wet.” Desperate for the feel of his Sylva’s lips, Zeke crushed her mouth beneath his. She cinched her arms around his neck and her legs around his ass. Returning his kiss like a wanton, his bride also rocked on his shaft. Their lips played against each other, fierce and frenzied as mating cats. Zeke sank his fingers into her silky mane, and cupped her head. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 670 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Spooky Friday-into-Saturday howls and yowls, my Black Cat Shifters... yes, it’s time to practice your prowling skills to creep out all those innocent and not-so-innocent trick or treaters... warmer on the tame prairie today, but the cold is just around the corner... the Kougaress just doesn’t get a real good feeling about this winter... and she really HOPES she is wrong!!! ~~~
Searching for Red-Haired Witches... yep, the Kougar looked for internet pics to enhance her blog post at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY... wow-pow-wow, what you find sometimes besides some cool witchy pics. Yes, red hair has been traditionally associated with witches. Moi has even seen it said that if a woman has red hair, she is a witch. Now, that may be another word for ‘bitch’. Although, there are some who are dead-as-a-vampire serious about that. And, sadly, women have been persecuted, even burned at the stake simply for having red hair. Given that, women with red hair are also often adored, sought after by men, simply because of their glorious red tresses. And, because of their fiery sexual nature, a stereotype which is often true. What caught this Big Cat’s attention, however, was this phrase *don’t trust women with red hair.* Most likely, it was spoken by a man. Although, the Kougar did not research it... because, well, she didn’t have time to thoroughly claw and maul the obvious lout. And, actually, that phrase has been around ever since this Big Cat can remember. At one time, she would simply have dismissed it as pure and simple ignorance. Or, as a prejudicial statement. HOWEVER, what instantly struck her like a blast o’ light was this thought: Yeah, buddy, you better believe it. That is SO TRUE. Why? You roar and want to cause some gore... it’s this simple. Do a redhead wrong. Do a red-headed witch wrong. And, that statement WILL ABSOLUTELY be true. *Don’t trust a woman with red hair.* Yeah, buddy, don’t turn around. The metaphorical knife will be in your back. Or, it will be your wiped-out bank account. How about that bad luck you’ve had for the last seven years? However, if you’re a powerful and real man who wants a powerful and real woman, one who is all fiery and warm in your bed... go searching for a red-headed witch. ~~~~~~

Part 670 ~Sylva took a breath and a mental step back when Zeke didn’t immediately respond. Concern still flickered in his gaze, even though his eyes had darkened with passion. “I’m fine,” she whispered, then slid her palm slowly up his long rock-hard thigh. “And, I know this part of you is feeling just fine.” Boldly, she slipped her hand up the length of his cock. “You’re about to burn through those jeans, cowboy.” He grinned, but it was strained because his features had hardened with desire. “You don’t want to burn anything down, do you? You’d better let me ‘quench’ some...” Zeke launched to his feet, pulling at the closures of his denims so fast, he wondered if it was a personal best “...of the heat,” his Sylva finished. Her gaze moved back and forth from his face to his salutin’ cock. Bending over to shove his denims past his bare feet, Zeke asked, “Just how are you plannin’ on quenching this achin’ torch of mine?” Giving him a flirtatiously naughty look once he raised upwards, his woman stroked her hand over her curls. “Nice and wet,” she purred, his very own sex kitten. Zeke tossed his denims to the side. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 669 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

~ HAPPY SPOOKY HALLOWEEN ~Wish Upon on a Blue Moon New Year...
May your most romantic dreams come true...Red-Haired Witch kisses from the Kougar...
Brrrrr, my cuddled and cuddly Kittens... the first freeze is supposed to hit the tame prairie tonight... the Kougaress managed to get her still vigorous tomato plants covered with sheets before sunset... so, hopefully, that will keep them warm enough, since the temps are supposed to warm up the next few days... when the Kougaress first went outdoors, she caught the flap of large wings in her peripheral vision, then watched probably a girl eagle land on a branch near the top of a tree, that was about a hundred feet away... moi talked to the eagle, who sat still... when she looked away, the eagle launched off and moi watched her fly away powerfully over the next-door pasture.Nature is so glorious this Big Cat just doesn’t understand why there is this psychopathic Big Corp need to destroy her. But then, the more Mother Nature is murdered, the more humanity is murdered. To continue with another sad topic, moi was cross-eyed earlier in the day, and her mind spun until it hurt from all corruption she heard about. Minute by minute, it spreads like some giant hellacious cancer. So, too bad, as a culture, we didn’t listen to Ayn Rand and her novel, Atlas Shrugged.~~~~~~
A Beautiful Witch ~ Samantha ~ while my heroine, Kandace, in my WIP, Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds, does not resemble the beautiful and bewitching Samantha, in the TV series, BEWITCHED, she did practice twitching her nose like so many of us girls did. And, certainly, this beautiful witch character has partly inspired Kandace’s love story.From the moment that series began I was, to be redundant, Bewitched. Enchanted. I couldn’t get enough. A beautiful and smart witch, with a good soul, who only wanted the good American life. While I never understood Samantha’s desire to ‘never’ use her magick, I did understand her desire to fit in, especially when she fell in love with a mere mortal. Truthfully, Darren was never good enough for her.Even back then, I figured if Darren really did love Samantha he would have sought to understand her more, he would have encouraged her to balance her witch culture with the so-called normal culture of the times. Samantha deserved an alpha male, who would have protected her and loved her no matter what. She should have been cherished and valued, not forced into the repressive box of society.One of the things that impressed me about the character, Samantha, was how good at heart she was, how inspirational as a woman and individual she was. Elizabeth Montgomery, the actress, who played her, was exquisitely radiant in that role, her physical appearance and her performance. She was magic. And she brought that forth onto the small screen.And, even though, this Big Cat adored the TV series, CHARMED, and all the witchy women in that series... they all have their own beauty... still, none of them showed up as radiant, as pure of heart, as Elizabeth Montgomery playing Samantha.Kandace has similar talents and abilities as Samantha, and like, Samantha, is not a witch of the craft, but a witch by heritage, by the fact she was born a witch. Another difference, Kandace can be kick butt, more independent, and she’s not into mortal men. She knows better because of her past experiences.And yes, the Kougaress owes Elizabeth Montgomery, as Samantha, A BIG SPARKLY WAVE OF THANKS!!! Thank you.~~~~~~

He padded toward her. His footsteps, though nearly silent, were loud to her ear. Rousing herself, she rolled to face him. “Hey,” she softly called out. “Hey, darlin’ mine, did you sleep well?” Sylva couldn’t help appreciating the deep rumble of his voice. She couldn’t help noticing the long, tall ridge beneath the soft blue denim of his jeans. He wore no shirt. He hadn’t bothered with his hair. Which was just fine with her hormones, as was the stubble on his chin. “Lord have mercy,” she whispered, “you do look good, cowboy.”Zeke lowered himself beside his sexy adorable woman. He curled his knuckles beneath her chin, then drew in a sharp breath at the softness of her skin. “Sylva.” Tipping her chin up, he asked, “How are you feelin’?” She smiled, her radiance belonging to him. “I think that was the best sleep I’ve had since being here. No psychic traveling anywhere. At least, not that I remember.” With a lithe flow of her body, she sat up, closer to him. “What I want to know,” she sultry-crooned and paused, “what I want to know, handsome. Is this gun for hire?”~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 668 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

May your most romantic dreams come true...Beautiful Witch Cat kisses from the Kougar...
Nearing midnight meows, my moon-sultry strolling Big Cats... another wind-whipping day on the tame prairie... currently the glorious, golden-delicate moon is rising in the eastern sky and has waned to nearly half... oh, the colder temps are here again... still, the Kougaress rescued the most beautiful red rose bud from her bush... oh, the divine scent and the rose is slowly blooming... what a heavenly gift. Today, as the Kougar wrote her post for the HAPPILY EVER AFTER blog, she realized the impact Sybil Leek had on her life in regards to the stories this Big Cat is currently penning. Sybil Leek is a white witch who came to prominence during the latter half of the 1960's. Not only did this grand dame influence moi in the most positive of ways back then, but now the witchy seeds she planted in the Kougaress are coming into a greater fruition, as far as moi’s heroines. Yes, the Kougaress has never forgot Sybil Leek. She, and her books, were a blazing light in the wilderness at the time. One this Big Cat is entirely and everlastingly grateful for. THANK YOU, Sybil Leek. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Wherever you are residing in this grand, multi-dimensional universe of ours. ~~~
All human beings have magic in them.The secret is to know how to use this magic,and astrology is a vital tool for doing just that...~ Sybil Leek, 1972.~~~
The Kougaress has always believed in her own way, and ever since she can remember, that we all have magic within us. That, in fact, we are magic. And magical. Thus, we can not only create magic, but live magical lives.Here’s a lovely info page on Sybil Leek ~ lovestarz.com/leek.html ~ ~~~~~~

Authoress news and mews ~The Kougar is blogging at HAPPILY EVER AFTER during Paranormal Week. Here’s the beginning ~ Romance and Awakening to Your Inner Witch Happy Halloweek! Awakening to my inner witch is an ongoing process. Recently, I’ve realized, at a deeper level, how disconnected my generation is from nature, from natural practices and from the shamanic practices that are part of every world culture. Even though, significant inroads have been made, with a return to that wisdom and practice, still, what have we lost? And, why? Paranormal romances address those two questions often, and speak to it through a fictional, happily ever after story. I believe that is ONE huge reason why paranormal romance remains a significant trend. ~~~

From Astrology.com ~ On October 27-28, Mars the planet of action and passion moves into fiery Sagittarius for a sojourn until December 7, 2010.Suddenly, all bets are off and what had been kept firmly under wraps, stored away in private places and hidden by Mars in Scorpio will come flashing out in the open. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, has a wonderful directness and enthusiasm about it. It is ever the sunny optimist. It encourages, it motivates, and it boosts our morale. It is also known for speaking its mind and is possibly the most honest sign of the zodiac. Discretion and tact are not Sagittarian virtues!Action-oriented Mars gets a tremendous boost with all this inspirational energy and turns into a crusading fireball. Be prepared for things to get noisy over the coming weeks as strong opinions get voiced and heated discussions take place. However, there will be no lingering bad feelings or bitterness left, regardless of how strong the storm blows. The Fire energy holds no grudges -- it speaks its mind and moves on!The time is right to inject more adventure into your life, double up on your sports and exercise regimes. This is the time to start thinking of the coming holidays and decide how to best spend your money -- wisely. This is also the time to start dreaming and planning for your next escape and getaway!But, most importantly -- this is the time to speak your mind and be truthful!Mars in Sagittarius will give you the courage to get your ideas and comments aired to a wider audience than usual. This is not the time to whisper your plans, dreams and ideas hesitantly in a loved one's ears -- this is the time to get out your megaphone and shout it from the rooftops! At least, you will be assured that you will get heard where it matters most. The forces of the cosmos are with you! ~~~~~~

Yet, she surfaced enough to feel her cowboy husband’s weight on the bed. When he spooned around her and gently brought her close, she was able to snuggle closer. His big gun lodged against her ass cheeks and he spoke something she didn’t hear. Then she felt him place a kiss on the top of her head. Embraced against him, warm, and feeling cherished, she slipped deeper. Her dream images faded and the peaceful darkness arrived. When her eyes blinked open, the blazing colors of sunset slanted through a large window, and Zeke no longer held her. Zeke watched his wife awaken. He’d been slowly savoring a cup of joe. His gaze switched from his view of the ranch to her, his Sylva. At first, he’d worried about how deep she slept. Not moving, looking almost lifeless. Only her steady heartbeat and the pink flush of her skin let him know she remained alright. When he’d woke up, he’d stayed close, moving about the room, straightening and changing some of the furnishings so that they would be set up for the two of them. He had a wife. Every part of him wanted her to be happy. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 667 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Culture jamming slamming time... SEARCH TERM: CONWAY COVER UP Conway Coverup: Rand Paul Opponent Involved in Obstruction of Justice Kurt NimmoInfowars.comOctober 27, 2010Forget the corporate media dust-up over a Rand Paul supporter attacking a MoveOn.org activist. That incident pales in comparison to a story about the brother of Paul’s opponent in the race for Kentucky’s Senate seat, Jack Conway. On Saturday, the Louisville Courier-Journal published a story about Conway’s brother, Matthew, who resigned from the Jefferson County, Kentucky, attorney’s office to enter private practice after he was tipped off by Louisville narcotics detectives twice in the past two years that he was under investigation for possible drug use or trafficking. Matthew C. Conway was an assistant commonwealth’s attorney, a position he still holds, when detectives tipped him off on a second drug-related investigation.In a clear case of preferential treatment and a cover-up to protect Jack Conway, the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office decided in August that no charges would be filed against Matthew Conway or the narcotics detectives involved in tipping him off.In addition, Jack Conway became involved in criminal behavior. According to R. G. Dunlap of the Louisville Courier-Journal, the Conway brothers conferred with an attorney about the investigation. “The lawyer, Bart Adams of Louisville, then met with Police Chief Robert White to discuss [narcotics detective] Carthan’s conduct, according to the records,” writes Dunlap.Commonwealth’s Attorney David Stengel told the newspaper that he had reviewed all of the evidence gathered by police and was convinced that Conway was neither a drug user nor trafficker. Stengel told the newspaper that he concluded that Conway had done nothing wrong except to make a “well-intended but boneheaded statement” when he denied to police that he had been tipped off by narcotics detectives. Stengel said he decided not to discipline Conway for lying because “he went back and corrected that immediately,” in other words he was allowed to change his story.Stengel accepted Conway’s “corrected account four days later, and after another witness advised him that he had told investigators a different story.” ~ infowars.com/rand-paul-opponent-conway-involved-in-obstruction-of-justice ~ ~~~~~~

Did the winds howl and storms pound across the Midwest. Blessings to everyone affected. Yowls, the Kougaress had a topic, but now it’s slipped away into the dark recesses of her memory... having to do with witches... but, roar about the terrifying... a man who was illegally breeding King Cobra snakes in a Chinese town had a whole slew of them escape... and the town’s people have fled... given these are poisonous snakes... yeah, you betcha!!! get the heck out of there. Witch Awakening ~ Or, women are awakening to their inner witch. Ah, here’s a topic appropriate for the Aquarian Age and for these season-of-the-witch days... from this Big Cat’s perspective there’s a race happening... will humanity awaken or stay in the darkness... women, with the thinning of veil, are awakening to their true inner power even faster. They are becoming aware at a conscious level about their powerful and true feminine nature. This is ‘not’ the so-called power of women’s lib [nothing wrong with that]. This is a supernatural power that has been ruthlessly suppressed. This is a power of the soul rising to meet the Good of the Aquarian Age. This is women unshackling themselves from the horrors inflicted upon them during recorded history. It’s time for herstory. All the ways that women have been and are being brutalized is ending. No, this won’t be a pretty process. Unless, we all get our intention aligned and make it so. ~~~~~~
BTW ~ This Big Cat just heard this info. If you purchase an item from Best Buy and decide to return it for a good reason, they make you pay a re-stocking fee of around 15% of the purchase price. Plus, if you paid in cash... oh, so sorry, we won’t give you a cash refund. Yeah, don’t buy anything at Best Buy, unless you darn well know you won’t be returning it. And, gosh, gee wally whiskers, congress can pay off all their mafia bankster friends, but they can’t pay a cost of living increase to those on social security... hmmm... where are those guillotines they used during the French Revolution? Yep, and during an election year, too. No, the little folks don’t count anymore, not even during an election year. ~~~~~~

Featured at HAPPILY EVER AFTER ~ Growing Up Paranormalby Kelley HeckartNow that I think about it I was probably a weird kid. From a very young age I was fascinated with the paranormal, especially horror movies and books. I remember staying up to watch the late night scary movies hosted by various strange hosts like Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. My favorite movies were the classic horror movies, the black and white Dracula and Wolfman, and the 1970’s Dracula movies starring Frank Langella. ~~~

She has nowhere to turn except to a man it would be treasonous to love, setting duty and desire at war .

Part 667 ~ Sylva remained ensconced in her sweet flowing dreams. The scents of lavender and rose permeated her dreams, as well, and she felt herself smile. Even though, her dreams weren’t clear, they were more sensation than scenes, she reveled in the loveliness of it. And, in the rest. Oh, the rest. Her body had sunk into the bedding and she’d let go of everything. Yet, she remained aware Zeke hadn’t joined her, that he wasn’t wrapped around her. And, she missed him. Some part of her knew, though, that he stayed close. Some part of her knew, he wasn’t going anywhere. Zeke lit the pillar candles he’d finally found with the help of his mother. He’d placed the three of them around his bed, and now the fragrances filled the room. His mom rarely entered his rooms without knocking, or calling on the screen. Privacy had always been of top importance in their family. At the same time, he hadn’t exactly been surprised. He surely knew his mom felt a lot of concern for his Sylva. She’d brought herbal teas and briefly explained their use. Zeke smiled. His woman’s face had taken on the appearance of an angel. And he marveled. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 666 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

~ HAPPY SNAPPY HALLOWEEN DAYS ~
Wish Upon on a Blue Moon New Year...
May your most romantic dreams come true...Witch awakening kisses from the Kougar...
Happy Halloweek, dangerously sexy and fabulously flirty Felines... ooooh, has it ever been a perfect Halloween type of day on the tame prairie... with the strong blustery winds, the leaves tumbling and whirling all about, the overcast sky, the clouds hanging low and heavy with moisture... a nasty severe storm with sixty mile per hour winds just passed north of the Kougaress’s lair... and, so far, thank you, to the Divine and the weather deities, no real damage, just high velocity winds... o many purrs of thanks! ~~~
Are you dangerously sexy and fabulously flirty? This Big Cat saw this phrase used for an ad... and, no, she didn’t bother to find out what was being advertised... but, what a fab beginning or theme for an erotic romance novel... use it at your own discretion, writers... yes, moi is planning to... as in... “Dangerously sexy. And she doesn’t know it,” he muttered. He watched his Mage’s daughter sway across the garden room and move out onto the large patio, lavishly decorated for tonight’s corporate shindig. Equal parts ethereal angel and seductive witch, she had been convinced to remain a virgin, and had little experience with men. Now, it appeared as if he would have to step in and protect her since her father remained locked in a meeting with the Mages from every region of their world. Following after her, he heard her ask, “How do I become as fabulously flirty as you?” Quickening his pace, he watched his ex-lover smile fondly. Slipping her fingers over her string of pale indigo pearls, she crooned, “Watch and learn. Watch and learn tonight.” Knowing his ex truly did favor ‘the virgin’ as he thought of her, he knew she was in no danger of being led astray. No, the danger came from the powerful men arriving, the ones who sought either a bride or a virgin lover. ~~~~~~

Yes, it can be done. It has been said that there are only seven or eight storylines out there. So it’s up to the author to make their story different enough to take notice. ~~~~~~
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 666 ~ Sylva clung to Zeke’s neck and let her head rest on his shoulder. She was suddenly so weary she didn’t notice the room’s furnishings, except for glimpses. Her eyes wanted to shut and not open. After placing her on a bed, one that felt really comfy, her cowboy husband immediately slipped off her moccasins. Sylva cooperated as he undressed her. “Oh, I just can’t keep my eyes open.” Lifting her briefly, Zeke flipped the covers down, then eased her beneath them. “I wish,” she began, “I wish we could...I want to...make love. More, I want to make wild passion.” Zeke brushed his woman’s hair from her cheek, then stroked her face. Out like a light, he thought. Still, she seemed to be peaceful, her breathing even and strong. He arranged the covers over her, then lightly kissed her cheek. Rising reluctantly, he stared at the sheer loveliness of his bride’s face, before going in search of his healing candles. If he could help her sleep, only sleep, not venture off into some other dimension or float out of body, Zeke figured that would be best. Rooting around in his large storage closet, he heard his mother’s footsteps. “In here.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 665 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Boo-howls, my slinky sexy KitKats... less than a week a way... Halloween... All Hallows Eve... the time of Samhain... yep, the Kougaress is thinking about dusting off her mostly unused broomstick and taking to the skies, once again. Nothing like a flight through the heavens while the veil is thin. Nothing like swooping low over an inebriated group of adult-costumed humans.... hehehe... and watching them flee or stumble in fright... oh, oops! Watch out for that light pole... yowls, missed by a witchy whisker and tail... ~~~
Big Cat Commentary ~ Oh, my beloved Felines, the stresses of living in this world are showing themselves at jet speed. No surprise and here’s a bit of evidence. Last night as moi listened to nighttime radio, a host she’s listened to for, at least, twelve years now, went from happy dude to striking viper in a split second [not his usual style], simply because a caller, who was ‘not’ confrontational, brought up the topic of an impending civil war. Heck, if a mainline magazine can bring up the possibility [Google Search: Time Magazine predicts Federal Reserve causing next Civil War?? - By Andrew Zarowny Will the Federal Reserve cause the next Civil war in America? Time Magazine seems to think it's a possibility.] why can’t a caller discuss it as a possibility? And, after all, the Revolutionary War began with less provocation than what is currently happening to all of us. Is it so surprising that human beings want freedom? And that they’re willing to fight for it? ~~~~~~

They parted slightly and she slithered out of her nylons. His lips were on hers immediately. He steered her backwards to the bed. When the back of her knees touched the bedspread he eased her down.

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 665 ~Sylva trembled inside, not the good impassioned type of trembling. No, she began quaking as if she was about to fall apart. She knew why. She’d come to the end of her endurance. Maybe, because she could now rest, everything came tumbling down inside her. In the past, she’d known when she needed to retreat from the world, and had usually managed to escape, and go within. “She’s looking pale, son, take your bride upstairs and tend to her.” Ginger’s voice penetrated. Zeke’s strong arm wrapped around her tightly. “This way, darlin’ Sylva.” Her feet moved and her body cooperated. Zeke carefully escorted his woman up the stairway, and toward his suite of rooms. Ushering her within, he released her long enough to shut the door. With concern gnawing at him like a beaver felling a tree, he crooned, “Darlin’.” She gazed at him, her eyes unfocused. “Yeah, I think I’m in zombie mode.” Zeke cupped her chin, scrutinizing her eyes, her pallor. “I’m all done in,” she whispered. “If you could undress me, handsome, then pull the covers back... I need to crash.” Zeke frowned. “Crash?” She wanly smiled. “Sleep like the dead.” Zeke swooped her into his arms. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 664 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

A Cauldron of Research ~ good lord and lady!!! What a wacky weird day of research... from Spock to Vulcan, the god of fire and volcanoes... to the episode of Star Trek where Spock goes insane with the need to mate... to looking up what his wife was wearing [she rejects him] during that episode... to Remington Steele to find out the name of the lead woman character, Laura Holt, btw... and all because the Kougar’s heroine is hungry and depleted, and in need of good nutrition... okay, Kandy, Zol and Zin are traveling from Flagstaff, Arizona... not much magick allowed for several reasons... and none of them are dressed to dine... Kandy is only wearing a pale blue t-shirt... if this Big Cat author explains why, it will be a spoiler for the story... anyway, it’s Halloween day... so, pumpkin pies, apple orchards... a Fall festival... the Kougar researched all sorts of related terms and found a wealth of info, none of it useful for her story, however... and, in fact, it could be included in another story about Seneca and Trail, her heroine and hero in STALLION OF ASH AND FLAME... did you know there are all sorts of fantastic organic orchards and farms, plus Fall Festival fun places near Wilcox, Arizona? Moi had to quit reading because her eyes began to hurt, and she got dizzy... anyway, here’s one simple recipe she found:Apple Cider Syrup1C. sugar2 T. cornstarch1/2 tsp. cinnamon1/4 tsp. nutmeg2 C. Apple Annie’s cider2 T. lemon juice1/4 C. butterCombine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Add cider and lemon juice; stir well.

Fresh this mornin’.” He took a healthy swig while she took a sip. Remembering a time when she’d tasted raw milk before, at an exclusive, bed and breakfast restaurant a friend had treated her to, Sylva didn’t hesitate. “Even better,” she murmured, then drained the glass. Somewhat embarrassed by chug-a-lugging it down, she peered at him. “Guess I was thirsty.” After drinking his milk with gusto, he took her glass. “Nope, you’re just nutritionally deprived, sweet darlin’.”Zeke debated whether to offer his bride more food, since she needed the nutrients, or simply put them both to bed. He surely needed rest and he knew she did. Placing the glasses in one hand, he offered his arm. “Might be time to get some shut eye. We both require some recuperatin’ time.” Giving him a little nod, she rose and took his arm. He moved them toward the side table and set the glasses down. “I’ll get the hang of how things work around here.” His Sylva stroked his forearm affectionately and with passion. “No rush, darlin’ mine.”~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 663 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

May your most romantic dreams come true...A Cauldron of kisses from the Kougar...
Halloween-arriving yowls, my beautiful and sleek-fierce Felines...autumn-warm and a touch of wind and rain on the tame prairie today... awhirl, yes, that is the Kougaress, always spinning through her writerly biz day.A Touch of Fantasy Costuming... ooooh, this Big Cat adores dressing up for Halloween, or dressing up for any party occasion, in period/historical and fantasy costumes, according to her whim and pleasure. Anything from a black cat girl to a gypsy fortune teller to a Renn Faire fairy princess to a Siren sexpot... to... purrs, the possibilities are endless, and endlessly fun... and truthfully wearing the costumes moi designed often felt more real to her than the reality of this world... because our culture is much too restrictive, dull and gray and, overall, just no fun.She used to wonder why this was true and chafed against the senseless oppression and suppression she experienced daily... however, these days, she wonders no more. The answer has become nearly crystal clear as to why many of us crave fantasy costuming.The why of it... let’s explain it this way... during the medieval period, peasants who were tall and strong and alpha, were killed off... thereby making it easier for those who ruled to continue ruling [as this Big Cat has mentioned before]... they literally killed off the competition and the gene pool. On purpose.A ‘form’ of that practice continues into these times, and is evilly playing out. There are those who know how to psychologically cut us down to size... to cut WHO WE ARE down to peasant size.Thus, our souls and spirits have been so deprived of simply being themselves, their true selves, the Kougaress figures this is one reason why there is so much fantasy play and costuming [other than the purely fun factor]... just for a time we get to experience the ‘possibility’ that we are, that we were meant to be.Roars, consider comicon and all the other dress-up fantasy conventions... heck, look at Disneyland and Disney World, as more simple examples. In fact, everything around us is sheer fantasy... fashion, cars, TV and the movies, Gaming, the internet itself, and on and on. With our true natures thwarted, humanity seeks any avenue for the expression of their inner self... and All Hallows Eve offers a respite, a relief for the soul and spirit, a chance to know more about yourself... your inner cravings. Costumes can tell us who we really are, that is, if we ran free in this world. In our precious world.So, what is your fave costume, or your favorites? What is your whim and pleasure this year? Given the placement of the stars at this time, your costume choice could reveal you to yourself in profound ways.Quoted from Astrology.com Surprisingly enough the Sabian Symbol for the degree of the Full Moon is about self-discovery and finding your place in the cosmic order. It is about discovering your special gift and your truest and highest self and living life to your fullest.And, what does the Kougaress want to be this year? Here’s comment she made on the current blog entry at THE PINK BLOG [for more info see below].Ooooh, this year's costume... hmmm... I think a witch seductress in a long black velvet gown, adorned by glimmering gold and silver stars and crescent moons... with black spiderweb gloves encrusted with tiny rhinestones... and dangly, very long earrings that are glittery to the max.Oh, and my cinnamon brownies were always a hit, but it was a recipe I threw together.Congrats, Ladies, on your anthologies and cauldron fulls of sales.~~~~~~

Join the fun as Henry the man and Henry the goose spar over heroine Emily's affections while they try to capture the foul (or is it fowl?) pumpkin thieves.BLURB:Pumpkin thieves, a youthful love rekindled and a jealous goose. Oh my!Last night someone tried to steal the widowed Mrs. Emily Metcalfe's pumpkins. She's certain the culprit is her old childhood nemesis and the secret love of her youth, Henry, nicknamed Hank, whom she hasn't seen in ten years.Henry, Baron Grey, who's never forgotten the girl he loved but couldn't pursue so long ago, decides to catch Emily's would-be thief. Even after she reveals his childhood nickname--the one he would rather forget. And even after her jealous pet goose bites him in an embarrassing place.Oh, the things a man does for love.EXCERPT:"Emily, even with Henry, formidable as he is--" Hank glared at the goose. The goose glared back "--you need protection. I will send over some footmen to guard the place.""No. Turnip Cottage belongs to Charlotte's husband. What will the townspeople think, with Lord Grey's servants about my house?"Her refusal increased his fury. The sight of her hand on that damned goose's head didn't improve his mood, either. He balled his fists as his patience thinned and something else thickened. "I'll find you a guard dog. You must have some protection out here all alone.""But I have Henry." She patted the goose's head and the bird snuggled into her hand. Again.Heat flooded Hank, part desire for Emily's touch, and part desire to murder that damned goose, who was where he wanted to be. His insides groaned. "Very well, then, you leave me no choice. I will help you catch the culprits.""But--"He changed his voice to the voice that either melted a woman or earned him a slap in the face. "Who knows, mayhap we would enjoy ourselves as I lie in wait with you." I would love to lie with you.Her eyes widened. Had she understood the innuendo?"I cannot stay alone with you, and you know it," she said, her voice severe."You are a widow in your own home and no one will see. I will make sure of it.""No." She marched back into her cottage and slammed the door. Henry smirked and waddled away.Hank grinned. He would be back, whether she liked it or not.CONTEST: Chance to win a PDF copy of PUMPKINNAPPER!

Featured at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY ~Flirty Friday- The 3 T's of Sextingby Dawne ProchiloI'm fairly new to texting and my husband is even newer. Since I first started texting last year I've learned a few tricks of the so-called trade. It's not only an easy way to stay in touch- it's a GREAT way to reach out and touch someone.~~~~~~
From Astrology.com ~On Friday evening, October 22, a glittering Full Moon in Aries will grace the Northern American skies. Known as the Hunter's Moon, the Full Moon will take place at 1:36 AM Universal Time on Saturday morning and in the daylight hours in Asia. Interestingly enough, this is also the second Full Moon in Aries, following the Full Moon of September 23.Full Moons always come fourteen days after the New Moon, completing the cycle of what was started around that time to come to fruition. This is a time for reflection to see what we have accomplished in the last two weeks. The Full Moon also signals the time for us to move forward with new goals and sometimes a totally new perspective.The current configuration of the cosmos with the Sun moving into Scorpio, known for its relentless determination, on the early hours of October 23, will definitely bring about a change of mood which may be apparent. The Sun joins a powerful Mars in Scorpio, as well as a lucky, charming and seductive Venus also in Scorpio, so if there is a will to do something -- you will definitely find a way. A benevolent Mars and Uranus trine two days after the full Moon could also signal a time for new and exciting opportunities -- which may have been unexpected.Surprisingly enough the Sabian Symbol for the degree of the Full Moon is about self-discovery and finding your place in the cosmic order. It is about discovering your special gift and your truest and highest self and living life to your fullest.~~~~~~

Before he swung around, he snuck a peek at his bride. She lowered her arms from performing a stretch. He saw her weariness in every line of her beautiful body. Obvious as what was in plain sight, though, her gaze remained fastened on him, like a mare who’d decided on her stallion. He’d felt it as he walked across the room. He couldn’t have contained his grin even if he’d wanted to. His sister flicked him a knowing glance, then resumed flirting with her husband, teasing him with a biscuit.~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 662 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!
