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 535 ~Sylva lay in the warm bed, slowly blinking. Vividly, she recalled her astral journey to her Earth. She took long moments to embed it into her memory. The Mother’s final words resounded through her like the repeating lyrics of a song... ‘Do not let BP win on the Earth I call, Freedom’. Smoothing her hand over the warm sheets, and thinking of Zeke, she voiced the Mother’s words, “Do not let BP win on the Earth I call, Freedom.” Fleetingly, she wondered if he would want to hook her up to the same device she’d seen on Coon and Snake.Zeke knew the pieces to their godforsaken complex puzzle came together, fast. He wondered if it was soon enough, given the hellfire cunning natures of those in the Secret Circle. “It has to be,” he muttered out loud. His dad raised his brows in question. “Got to get ‘em before they get us,” Zeke answered. “Workin’ on it, son.” His father took a taste of his coffee. Zeke followed. No doubt, his father’s personal brew was bracing. “You knew this day was coming, didn’t you?” Zeke held up the mug in explanation. “Let’s say, your mother knew. She sent supplies.”~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 534 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

THIS BIG CAT CAN’T STAND IT!!!Now the government bullies are picking on the Amish farmers in Pennsylvania. If this Big Cat had a way to protect them, she would... any damn clawing way she could.What’s their big crime? Having a lifestyle that works, that isn’t being CONTROLLED by idiots who know nothing about farming, and are on bully power trips.Instead of going after the real criminals... the BIG HORRIBLE *ANIMAL CRUEL* FACTORY FARMS that are polluting the land and the rivers on such a massive scale most folks can’t even comprehend it... and, on top of that, these hideous abominations of farming are producing very poor quality food and forcing it on consumers... yep, instead of shutting down these cruel polluters, the soulless bureaucrats are doing everything in their power to ruin the Amish farmers, and, thus, get rid of any and all competition for the BIG FACTORY FARMS. Yep, that is, one of the corrupt endgames. Make no mistake about it.Any day, of any year, this Big Cat would rather purchase food from Amish farmers, than from any grocery story... unless, it’s a store devoted to real organic food and local farming.~~~~~~

May your most romantic dreams come true...Branding smooches from the Kougar...
Yep, my most wonderful Big Kittens, excitement streaks down to the Kougar’s paws. She performed a short happy dance, or in her case, bounced up and down. STALLION OF ASH AND FLAME is being published by Siren-BookStrand with an e-pub date of November 2009 and a print date of April 2010.
This is moi’s very first story written only from the male POV. She so hopes readers will enjoy it.
Here’s the rough blurbie ~
Drojovv Zyan of the V’Trailuc Realm is a man-stallion of ash and flame on a mission to save his world’s crucial Earth portal from the fires ravaging the National Forest surrounding it. Pretending to be the tracker, Trail, he settles in a small southeastern Arizona town. When he gets an eyeful of the beautiful ranch owner, Seneca, he stud lusts after the Earth human, a woman he’s not supposed to take as his Mate.
Trail leaves her alone until her brother is in a bad motorcycle accident and she needs a hired hand. Soon both of them are threatened by a whole horde of enemies. At all costs Trail must protect her. His world depends on it, her world depends on it. And his heart comes to depend on it.
~~~
Yessiree, the Kougar hears the trumpeting whinnies of triumph from her hero, Trail. His love story with Seneca is about to be shared.
Now moi needs to ponder on how she wants her cover art. And, she may draw a stallion of flame... maybe...
Wait... what did the Kougar hear today as bumper music?
Willie Nelson singing ~ I’m gonna chase the sky forever... with the woman and the stallion and the wind... The sun is going to burn into a cinder...
~~~
Guess what, darling KitKats, the Kougar joined Gem Sivad, author of INTIMATE STANGERS, as a participant in the Dorchester/Textnovel contest, running from June 1 to November 1.
It’s kinda techno cool. Read on your fancy dancy cell phone or simply go to their website ~ http://textnovel.com/home.php ~
Gem is presenting her Old West shapeshifter story, CAT NIP, starring Misery, the healer, and her mystery hero, Mr. Jaguar.

Maoowww... This was just too adorable ~Fox steals more than 100 shoes
BERLIN (Reuters) - A fox has been unmasked as the mystery thief of more than 100 shoes in the small western German town of Foehren, authorities said Friday.
A forest worker stumbled upon shoes strewn near the fox's den and found a trove of footwear down the hole which had recently been stolen overnight from outside locals' front doors.
"There was everything from ladies' shoes to trainers," said a local police spokesman. "We've found between 110 and 120 so far. It seems a vixen stole them for her cubs to play with."
Although many were missing laces, the shoes were in good condition and their owners were delighted to reclaim them, he said, adding that no reprisals were planned against the culprit.

Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues....Part 172 ~
Sylva stirred once her cowboy lifted the sheets, joining her. Good lord, she loved the muscley lithe strength of his body spooning hers. With ease, he slid his arm beneath her, and snuggled her close, so her butt was cradled by his loins. “Dreamland,” he encouraged, his voice a purr. “I’m half there,” she whispered. “What was the message?” she remembered to ask, her mind mostly lost to the fog of slumber. “Nothing urgent, darling. We’ll talk about it later.” Sylva nodded, her weariness taking over. He nuzzled beneath her hair, pressing a kiss on the top of her head.
Zeke listened to her soft deep breaths. He thanked the Lord above she trusted him enough to fall asleep in his arms. His precious wife, his Sylva. Her fragrance was like a sweet cloud around him, a sultry and violet-delicate cloud. He touched another kiss to her hair, then let his eyes shut. Mentally, he rehearsed how he would protect them, precisely how he would reach for the derringer. It was rare these days for a direct break in, yet a man could never be too prepared. Relishing her lush perfect curves, he smiled and told his cock to ‘whoa’.
