Independence Day purrs, my sparkly-adorable Big Cats... a respite from the summer heat on the tame prairie today, and a bit of rain... and yes, the fireworks are boom-booming at times, and lighting up the night sky with their gorgeous fiery colors.

Take extra care, my darlings, because this Big Cat loves ya~

Freedom, precious freedom... may freedom ring forever in our hearts and minds... may freedom wash over the Earth like a great tide to forever reign... may freedom spread to the stars as humanity joins with its galactic brethren, never to be stopped, and always to be revered.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Authoress news and mews ~

Christmas in July will be featured at the HAPPILY EVER AFTER blog, so stay tuned for the details. Any authors who want to participate, let the Kougar know or Bekki Lynn by using the contact email addy on the blog. Also, authors, if you would like to blog about and feature your M/F romance, sweet to erotic, at HEA, contact Bekki.

Okay, then, the Kougar is down to choosing her two excerpts for KANDY APPLE AND HER HELLHOUNDS. With some of her books, that was relatively easy and obvious. However, for STALLION OF ASH AND FLAME, this Big Cat author didn’t own a clue, and asked the staff at Siren-BookStrand to choose them. They did a great job. With Kandy, the x-rated excerpt is likely chosen... however, the PG excerpt, that isn’t so obvious. Yet.

Venus's Emotional Rollercoaster Ride

Over the next few days, sweet Venus will move into protective Cancer and align itself with four different planets. Without a doubt, this is quite the recipe for an emotional rollercoaster ride, but don't worry too much -- even though this ride may have its trying moments, it'll be lots of fun!

Venus gears up for action on July 4 when it glides into Cancer, bringing harmony to your family affairs; in fact, you'll find that you'll be more interested in intimate, cozy events than big parties or social scenes. Later that same day, an air of romantic dreaminess will surround you as Venus blows an affectionate kiss to Neptune. If you keep your lovelorn daydreams somewhat grounded, they just might come true!

Then, on July 7 and 9, prepare for the ride to get a bit bumpier. First, Venus squares off against Uranus in a confusing, though possibly enlightening alignment; then, on July 9, Venus opposes Pluto in a passionate, yet challenging aspect. Fortunately, July 9 ends with Venus cozying up to friendly Jupiter, which will leave you in a jovial and warm-hearted mood.

You can also expect a few other planets to pop up during this cosmically wild time. On July 5, Mercury tips its hat to Uranus and Jupiter, adding sparkle and enthusiasm to your day. On July 7, Jupiter and Pluto get together in an aspect that's sure to lend you the confidence to bring your best ideas to life!

There's no planet like Venus when it comes to romance, and all its current activity means that there's no time like the present to discover what your romantic needs are!

BIG CAT SNARL AND SNARK ~

Gee, and the hits just keep on coming. Now it’s Yellowstone Corp-Borg Big Oil is destroying. Evidently, ‘they’ weren’t happy with ruining Alaska all those years ago. Mygosh, taking out the Gulf of Mexico, now a major horrific dead zone that keeps on killing... no, obviously that wasn’t enough for ‘them’.
