After midnight meowsa, my darling and daring Pussycats... oh, the crescent moon is an exquisite deep golden illumination... another ‘hot’ ninety-degree day on the tame prairie... although the trees are so leafy there’s a lot of good shade... wow, the Kougaress has all sorts of beautiful butterflies this year... one good sign. Watch your backs, my beautiful Big Cats, lots of nefarious stuff going on. And, this Big Cat loves ya!~~~

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ The Kougar let her hair down with a rant... and, there’s also a flash scene. Don’t Step on Superman’s... er, Super Wolf’s Cape... By Savanna Kougar The radio show host shall remain nameless because he should remain nameless. However, last Saturday night he interviewed Gotham Chopra, yes, Deepak Chopra’s son, about how Gotham, to quote: “decoded the 7 essential laws that govern the realm of superheroes both ancient and modern, and explained how to apply these laws to our daily lives.” Yeah, yeah, the mystical meets modern digital comics. While Gotham did have some valuable and pertinent insights, largely based on the gods and goddesses of his ancient East Indian culture... and, yes, their stories are AMAZING!... still, his version of these stories as translated for these times, seemed rather tame. And, no, not lame. No, that description is reserved for the ‘nameless one’. I mean how often can you state that you find Superman as a superhero BORING. ~~~

Late night mew-sings, my fanged Big Cat beauties... another ninety degree day on the tame prairie... oh, the craziness never ends, yet the world keeps spinning, spinning... oh, last night, a lovely butterfly, or a moth that looks like a butterfly, settled the Kougaress’s arm, and didn’t seem intent on leaving... however, she managed to bring the tiny beauty to the back window, and set him/her free with the fireflies.~~~
WARNING! If the FDA is your friend, DO NOT read the following ~Oh, Kittens, this Big Cat is feeling depressed because it’s so tragic these days. Now, the FDA is claiming that *elderberry wine* is a drug. These utter and complete creepazoids raided a well-known small company and took barrels and barrels of their elderberry concentrate. This Big Cat has used their elderberry products... not the wine darn it... and was exceedingly pleased with them. No, she couldn’t always afford to purchase their products because they were relatively pricey compared to what else she needed from the health food store. This is SO UNBELIEVABLY SAD!!! For the small farm-centered company. For their customers. For all those businesses who used their products. And the waste, the complete waste... there are folks starving who could at least benefit from this food product... but no! There must, there absolutely must be a special place in hell reserved for those who ordered this raid, and previous raids like it. There must be a special place in hell for those who obeyed this insane order. Of course, the raids won’t stop. This kind of corrupt, out of control insanity is going on all over our beloved country. The Amish are constant victims. Small family farms and ranches are constant victims. The entire organic, fresh food industry are constantly victimized. We the people are being victimized by the lack of good fresh and nutritious foods.Please, if you are making or know how to make elderberry wine... please, for your sake, for the sake of all of us, please continue, please make it. Just don’t tell anyone. Don’t sell to the commercial market. Don’t sell at a farmer’s market. Don’t sell it, at all. Give it away as bug bait, or something, anything creative. Receive a gift from someone else, just don’t let anyone o-fficial know. Somehow, we must develop an underground market. We must survive these horrifically corrupt times.~~~~~~
Big Cat by-the-numbers ~2:22 am... 12:12 pm... 2:12 pm... 2:22 pm... LOVE. Always love...Weekly Angelic Forecast from VolcanoStraight from the Carnal Cherub himself...Angelic Forecast ~ #144This week is the beginning of many changes. These changes will come rapid fire in both your personal life and on the world stage. Some of these will be land changes in concert with volcanic eruptions.Confusion will reign at this time. Simultaneously, beyond this fog, a new clarity will arise for each of us. Insights, and greater knowledge is being downloaded from on high. As long as you remain open to this possibility, you will receive as needed.With chaos on the rampage, these times are a huge challenge to most of us. The solutions needed will be a blend of the wisdom that has gone before and the wisdom that has never been. Innovation, trial and error, these are the keys.However, the best key is LOVE. Always love. During these times, your heart will learn new ways to know love, and to love others. In time, you will simply know love when it’s offered to you, as opposed to the false words of love that compel.There will be THOSE who will use every manner of deception to make you believe you should love them as your master, not as your equal. As well, THEY will want to enslave your ability to love.This is one of the greatest dangers facing humanity as a whole. To whom do you offer your love? Your whole heart? It becomes crucial to offer your heart ONLY to someone who is worthy.Spiritual love is just that, a universal way of loving ALL, and it remains in the realm of the ONE. However, in practical everyday terms, in these times of survival, offering your heart becomes a responsibility. For, the power of love must ‘not’ fall into the hands of THOSE who would use it for evil purposes.There are great dangers this week. The economic collapse will continue despite any grand leadership words to the contrary. Events will escalate beyond the horrors now happening around the globe. This is because forces on the dark side are positioning themselves to rule as they have always desired. And, their tactics are unbelievably brutal.Trendwise, this is a fabulous time to look for new ventures that will improve your economic circumstances. Be open to the guidance of your higher self, and look with new eyes. Hear with new ears. Think with new inspired thoughts. Each and everyday there are pathways being created just for you.Angelic blessings from Volcano & Sedona~~~~~~MORE...Volcano’s Angelic Forecast for this week ~ sirenbookstrand.blogspot.com ~~~~~~~

Arizona Wallow Fire 'uncontained' and growing6 June 2011 Last updated at 10:49 ETAn Arizona wildfire continued to grow on Monday morning, as firefighters contending with strong, dry winds remain unable to contain the blaze.The Wallow fire, the third-largest in the state's history, has already consumed 301 sq miles (780 sq km).More than 2,300 firefighters from across the country have joined the fight, with residents evacuating towns in the fire's path.Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has described the fire as "horrific".The fire, which started on 29 May, is threatening mountain communities in the east of the state.Smoke from the burning pine forests can be seen in the neighbouring states of New Mexico and Colorado.Most residents of the resort town of Greer, in the White Mountains, left on Saturday, packing their belongings in to vehicles as the Wallow Fire moved closer.The few who remain in the town, just seven miles (11km) from the fire's front line, are under a pre-evacuation order, ready to leave at short notice.Map showing Arizona and town of GreerResidents in the towns of Alpine and Nutrioso have also been ordered to evacuate.Several towns near the New Mexico border - including Escudilla Mountain Estates, Bonita and Dog Patch - were evacuated on Sunday.Fire crews were lighting lines of smaller controlled fires in an effort to contain the advance of the wind-driven main blaze.Some 2,315 firefighters from several states, including New York, are on the scene fighting the blaze, according to local media, at a total cost of $3m (£1.83m).A blaze in 2002 burnt through 732 sq miles in the centre of the state and another in 2005 that scorched 387 sq miles near Phoenix.~~~~~~
IMPORTANT! My darling Big Cats, there’s a WAR ON GOOD FOODS ~~
naturalnews.com/032623_ecoli_fresh_vegetables.html ~
Food wars: How European health authorities are using the e.coli scare to wage economic warfare against vegetable farmersMonday, June 06, 2011by Mike Adams, the Health RangerEditor of NaturalNews.com(NaturalNews) Even as hospitals in Germany are now filling up with people sickened by a super-powerful drug-resistant "superbug" strain of e.coli that looks like it was bioengineered (naturalnews.com/032622_ecoli_bioengineering.html), European health authorities are leaping at the opportunity to spread fear about organic foods while ignoring the obvious true cause of the contamination in the first place -- the widespread abuse of antibiotics in animal farming operations.The e.coli blame game has become a circus of musical chairs. First, they blamed the Spaniards as a form of retaliation for Spain's resistance to accepting GMOs (http://www.naturalnews.com/030828_G...). This act drove Spanish farmers into bankruptcy through a savage campaign of rumor-mongering. After ravaging the Spanish vegetable farmers, they began to randomly instill widespread fear about a variety of vegetables: First it was cucumbers, then lettuce and then finally tomatoes. And now, the blame has come full circle and is now being cast upon organic sprout growers in Germany!This has all been nothing more than despicable rumor-mongering that has now reached the point of economic warfare against vegetable farmers. And now it turns out even the latest round of blame cast upon sprouts was completely fraudulent: New tests reveal that the organic sprouts are NOT contaminated with e.coli.The Wall Street Journal is now reporting:"The Lower-Saxony state agriculture ministry said 23 of 40 samples from the sprout farm suspected of being behind the outbreak have tested negative for the highly aggressive, "super-toxic" strain of E. coli bacteria... In a surprising U-turn, German officials said initial tests published Monday provided no evidence that sprouts from an organic farm in northern Germany were the cause of the country's deadly Escherichia coli outbreak." naturalnews.com/030828_GMOs_Wikileaks.html)Huh? Weren't these sprouts being blamed as the source of the outbreak up until yesterday?Economic warfare and irrational fear-mongeringThe truth is that we are witnessing an economic blame game run amok as health authorities destroy trust in one vegetable crop after another. It has become an episode of Godzilla, with the monster of German health authorities rampaging through the city, crushing vegetable farmers left and right by merely uttering the name of what they grow.CUCUMBERS! No, wait. Now it's TOMATOES! Hold on, nope. It's actually SPROUTS! Wait a sec. Nope, not that either...This has all become a circus of nonsense that translates into the economic devastation of vegetable growers. And that's the whole point, actually: To demonize fresh vegetables and convince people that the only safe food is dead food. So through this campaign of destructive rumor-mongering, European health authorities can steer people away from eating the very things that help keep them healthy: Fresh vegetables and sprouts, all of which contain natural medicines and phytonutrients that prevent diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's.By scaring people away from these fresh vegetables, they are pushing people toward less healthful options: Processed foods, dead foods, pasteurized beverages and fumigated or irradiated vegetables. Across both the EU and the USA, this is what health regulators have been deviously pushing for the last few years. All it takes is a few engineered e.coli scares to convince the public to avoid nearly all fresh vegetables!Already, sales of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and sprouts have plummeted across Europe... even though there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that these vegetables are the source of the e.coli contamination. Astonishingly, virtually the entire public is now increasingly convinced that the only SAFE foods are processed foods!Yep: Beware of fresh veggies because they might kill you! Instead, eat your GMO-contaminated, pesticide-ridden processed dead foods because that's safe! This is the incredible conclusion of the war being waged against fresh vegetables -- a war that is now using bioengineered weapons in the food supply to create fear and cause fatalities among innocent consumers.Read more in my previous report on how this strain of e.coli appears to have been bioengineered to cause human fatalities: ~ naturalnews.com/032622_ecoli_bioengineering.html ~~~~~~~

RED Full story at ~ sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/110602122349.htm ~ Color Red Increases the Speed and Strength of ReactionsScienceDaily (June 2, 2011) — What links speed, power, and the color red? Hint: it's not a sports car. It's your muscles. A new study, published in the journal Emotion, finds that when humans see red, their reactions become both faster and more forceful. And people are unaware of the color's intensifying effect.The findings may have applications for sporting and other activities in which a brief burst of strength and speed is needed, such as weightlifting. But the authors caution that the color energy boost is likely short-lived."Red enhances our physical reactions because it is seen as a danger cue," explains coauthor Andrew Elliot, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester and a lead researcher in the field of color psychology. "Humans flush when they are angry or preparing for attack," he explains. "People are acutely aware of such reddening in others and it's implications." ~~~
Last week ~ From Volcano’s Angelic Forecast ~ #143 The color red is likely to be prominent this week, both good and bad. Take another look at your relationship with this color, and how it figures in your life, or how it does not. Certainly, this played out in the Kougaress’s life, and she found the article above yesterday. How it played out for everyone else is another matter.

A dozen small earthquakes were recorded before the eruption began.The officials have issued a red alert - the maximum warning level for the area.Evacuation orders were issued for some 3,500 people, the local authorities said.They added that the residents would be relocated in temporary shelters in safe areas.So far there have been no reports of any injuries.However, ash clouds have drifted to neighbouring Argentina where officials have ordered residents to stay indoors.A regional airport in the Argentine city of Bariloche has been closed due to the volcanic ash.Eyewitness Juli Kessler told the BBC she saw "big black clouds hanging over the Andes" and ash dust lying on the road.It is the first time since 1960 that the volcanic chain has erupted.The BBC's Gideon Long in Santiago says Chile is one of the most volcanic countries in the world. ~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~ The Kougar hit a snarl during edits. All is resolved now. However, it took awhile to figure out how to resolve it.

BIG CAT NOTE: Be careful of shopping malls, my darlings. They could become the new target for false flag attacks. How easy is it to demonize Islamic shooters, or the militia, or those who cherish the second amendment. Or, whoever they deem an enemy of the state. Your life and the life of your loved ones means ‘nothing’ to these psychopathic thugs who want total control of everyone and everything. Whatever you do, do not give up your weapons to the gov. Remember, the safest cities are the ones with the most gun ownership. If you’re a criminal, do you choose the house with armed residents, or do you choose the house with no defensive weapons? Plus, this will likely be a ‘reason’ to bring in the pervert TSA creeps along with their naked nuke machines. Oh, and they’re talking about wearing electronic bracelets on planes, too. ~~~

Romance, a World Away... Certainly this could be poetically said about reading a romance novel... the story between the pages, on the ereader, is a world away, a place to travel to from the comfort of your home, or as you go about your daily life. However, there’s another meaning to the phrase that popped into the Kougaress’s head. Randi Alexander was the guest author at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY. She made the point that women who read romance novels are generally much more interested in having sex with their ‘significant other’. The Kougaress has seen these type of statistics before. Certainly, she finds romance novels inspiring in this way. And men, or women, who don’t realize this are missing a lot of great sex. A lot of potential for great romance, also. Randi expressed a sentiment in the comment section this Big Cat totally agrees with ~ “The world needs more romance, in my humble opinion.” In our current world, Romance seems like a world away for most of us. And, it is. Many of us are starving for romance in our lives, and that doesn’t mean just sex. It means a romantic connection, a type of intimacy that allows for the expression of love in all its splendor. Question: How happy would our world be, if romance thrived, instead of being a world away for most of us? Why this is so... well, that’s a ten-pager explanation, at least. ~~~~~~

Authoress news and mews ~ Okay, rejection just makes us stronger, right? Well, yowls, the Kougar just got stronger today. Daily Science Fiction rejected her flash story, titled, Green Tea War. No specific reason was given, instead it was a multiple choice of reasons. Or, take your pick. No, the sci fi market has never been friendly to what this Big Cat writes. Obviously, that has probably not changed. Of course, there was a bit of romance in her flash, yet nothing bordering on the erotic. And, hey, why pen something unhappy, or just about overcoming some emotional or physical situation, like wearing a dragon symbol again. Ah, well... meows... never the twain shall meet. So, since the Kougar believes in her 1,000 word Flash, what next? ~~~

From UNKNOWN COUNTRY ~ Why Kissing is So Good for You Friday, June 3, 2011Sex usually begins with a kiss (although if you have no one to kiss you can always go solo with your cell phone). Humans like to kiss because we have lips that are DESIGNED for it: We are the only animals with lips that purse outward. But we're not the only primates that kiss--some of the apes do too (although we're not sure about machines).Yet anthropologists don't think it's instinctive--they think it's a learned behavior, because although most cultures kiss, not all of them do. In fact, the Romans, who conquered wide swathes of Europe, introduced kissing to many non-kissing societies. While kissing can give you cavities in your teeth, it does get two people close enough to smell each other, which having sex (depending on how you do it) doesn't always do. Women instinctively prefer the scents of men whose immunity-coding genes are different from their own, since mixing genes produces babies with stronger immune systems.Dopamine, which brings out feelings of desire and reward, spikes in response to new experiences, which may be why kissing someone for the first time feels so special. Dopamine can even lead to sleeplessness and a loss of appetite--classic "lovesick" signs. Dopamine is produced in the same part of the brain that affects addictive drugs like cocaine. In men, a kiss brings forth the "love" hormone oxytocin. Women are suffused with this hormone after giving birth--men get it from holding and playing with the baby. The stress hormone cortisol is the OPPOSITE of oxytocin and cortisol levels go down just from holding hands.~~~~~~

Friday into Saturday purrs, my beautiful bouncy Pussycats... do you believe it? It’s already the weekend... the Kougaress watched the sunrise this morning, which was exceptionally beautiful... Sol was the most gorgeous shade of rose-colored neon... but, it still gives this Big Cat the willies to see the sun come up in the northeast, instead of due east... weird, weird, weird... warm and breezy on the tame prairie... gosh, what a have-to-get-stuff-done day... we have a whole society based on what was once called *busywork*... now it’s called convenience by technology... so, why are we putting up with this, we the people? Real convenience via tech would be a good thing. So far, this Big Cat has noticed a whole lot that is what she would label ‘real convenience’. Where’s her robo maid? On top of that, the way technology has been designed, it’s a killer, as in cancer-causing. Sadly, there are much safer technologies that would achieve the same or better results. But, of course, that would put ‘big pharma’ out of business. ~darn~ NEAR MIDNIGHT NOTE: The fireflies are out in force, and it is an amazingly eerie and beautiful sight, at the same time. The Kougaress has never seen them that bright, or that fast in their movements. ~~~~~~
Gunsmoke ~ End of an Era... and the beginning... how well this Big Cat remembers this iconic TV Western, the last one standing after all the other Westerns bit the trend-changing dust... she was a regular viewer for a long time, always admiring the stoic and do-the-right-thing Marshal Dillon, played by actor, James Arness. Marshal Dillon was, in the easy parlance of that time, a man’s man. There aren’t any left on TV to the Kougaress’s knowledge, one of the ‘many’ reasons she no longer cares about watching TV. Now, admittedly, she did give up on the show when it became clear Miss Kitty would never get her man... but then, in the end, maybe she did. Even as that era of TV ended, and the passing of James Arness now signifies the final nail in the coffin... well, currently there is a huge resurgence in Western Romance novels, sweet to erotic. Yes, pardner, another ‘beginning’ is well underway. In fact, this Big Cat author’s writing finger is itchin’ to pull the trigger on another western erotic romance. Thank you, to Mr. Arness for all of his inspiration. And, thank you, for your character portrayal of a real man, except for Miss Kitty, of course. But, hey, that’s how it was in those times. Thank you for knowing how to use a gun righteously, and for knowing how to shoot straight. Condolences to the family and friends of Mr. James Arness. ~~~
James Arness of 'Gunsmoke' fame dead at 88June 3, 2011 By FRAZIER MOORE, AP Television Writer – 2 hrs 11 mins agoIt takes a special kind of lawman to carry on for 20 years in the Wild West of TV.Matt Dillon, the mythical marshal of Dodge City, stood tall — all 6 feet, 6 inches of him — on "Gunsmoke" from 1955 to 1975. He outlasted dozens of other Western heroes while making history on TV's longest-running dramatic series, a record that held until NBC's "Law & Order" tied the CBS Western's record in 2010.Through all those gunslinging years, James Arness, who died Friday, kept Marshal Dillon righteous, peace-seeking and, most of all, believable.Fickle viewers can kill a TV hero as surely as a bullet from an outlaw's six-gun. But Arness knew how to maintain order not only in circa-1870s Dodge City, but also among the TV audience, whose itchy fingers on their channel changers he knew how to calm.In an era when TV actors typically chewed the scenery, Arness had a credible, commanding presence by hardly uttering a word. A typical scene found a dozen cowboys riding up to the town jail intent on busting out a prisoner pal.Dillon faces them all down. ~

Late night shout-out meows, my gorgeous gamboling KitKats... hot! On the tame prairie today... now it’s muggy sticky icky.... but, on the good side, no tornado, or bad weather on the horizon! Mygosh, are the ticks ferocious, too. Yucksters... this Big Cat keeps taking her natural germ destroyer, the supplement, Grapefruit Seed Extract... because gosh knows what super germs those things are carrying these days. My darling Big Cats, watch out for yourselves. There are now what are being called war zones in our beloved country where riots, murders, and robberies are going on, and skyrocketing because of the economic horror folks are facing. Two of those places where major outbreaks have occurred are Long Island and Chicago. There are more, of course. Apparently lamestream news media is NOT reporting much, or at all on these war zone areas. The ugly truth is, the psychopathic powers that be, have intentionally created this economic depression. No, there are no iconic photos of folks standing in breadlines. However, as one person pointed out, those who depend on food stamps use a digital card, so why would they be standing in breadlines? This is one way the true state of the economy has been masked. Not to mention the ongoing lies and deception. ~~~~~~

13 Things That Could Happen If...By Kayelle Allen My topic today is 13 Things That Could Happen If I had a perfect summer. Ah... first thing I think is I'd try to find the lake where this hottie swims and start frequenting it. With a camera. Oh... my.Here’s this Big Cat’s mew-sing comment ~ Ah... the perfect summer... escape to an isolated island... with lots of walking room, and beautiful landscapes... with time to read and write... friendly folks... some good places to eat... and naps whenever I want... okay, if some worthy man happens along, so much the better. ~smiles~~~~
THE NEW PLAGIARISM... Darling Big Cats, wonders truly never cease. Yesterday on the private author loop for Siren-BookStrand, there was a discussion called ~ The new plagiarism. Of all things book reviews are being ripped off, and plagiarized. So-called reviewers are simply stealing someone else’s review, and placing it on their site. Guess, it’s not so unusual, given in the Kougaress’s day book reports were plagiarized. ~~~
This is just cool info, and great stuff for a possible story. Unseen for 1,800 years: Archaeologists find 120m tunnel leading to 'funeral chambers' deep below ancient Mexican cityBy Daily Mail ReporterLast updated at 3:32 PM on 1st June 2011 It has taken technology almost two millennia to break one of the greatest secrets of the ancient Americas.Archaeologists have discovered 'a recreation of the underworld' at the ancient city of Teotihuacan in Mexico thanks to a radar device. Researchers have only advanced 7 metres along the tunnel but the radar has revealed it to be 120 metres long and covered in symbols. It is thought that the passage leads to three chambers and may help explain the beliefs of the civilisation.

Pic from Coast to Coast am ~ Sakkara Object ReplicaI was recently touring the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. when I noticed something rather intriguing. In a room containing aircraft and artifacts from the beginnings of flight, I looked at an exact replica of the Sakkara Object that was found in a tomb in Egypt dating back to around 200B.C.After looking at the object and reading its information, I walked out of the room, looked up, and immediately noticed "Space Ship One" hanging from the ceiling in the main entrance. That is when it struck me. I grabbed my camera and made photos of Space Ship One, then I went back and took photos of the replica of the Sakkara Object. The "tails" of both craft are identical !!! What are the odds of the first privately funded, non-governmental craft ever to fly into space sharing such an important design characteristic with one of the first ancient artifacts of a flying craft ever discovered that helped launch the research into the "Ancient Aliens" theory ??!!! I would love to know why the designers and engineers that built Space Ship One chose that particular tail design, and the performance advantages that particular design gave their craft in high altitude / sub-orbital flight.--Lamont Cranston~~~
June purrs, my summer-seeking Pussycats... yes, before-the-storm warm and air-still on the tame prairie... however, it was a brief thundery visit with some rain... gosh, the weather is weird, even weirder than the usual weird... and, it feels so odd outside, this Big Cat hesitates to go outside at times... fortunately, the wild critters seem to be okay... and there was this large, gorgeous yellow-buttery butterfly with black-tipped wings flitting about before the brief thundershower. ~~~~~~
Midyear Already... Redundant, boring, that is yowling about the hyperspeed of time... but, can you believe it? The year, 2011, is halfway over. ALREADY!!! Where does the time go? Into a convenient black hole that NASA isn’t telling the public about? In fact, it feels like 2000 just began, and now it’s already past the decade point. And, barreling toward 2012. All this Big Cat can say is GET READY for massive and blink-you’ll-miss-them changes. Earth-shaking land changes. Weather catastrophic changes. Societal changes that will be off the charts. Think Caligula ~ ever see the 1979 film? Riots, wars, rebellions. The flames of change are being stoked, and will become a wildfire racing across the globe. At the same time, the force of love will be amplified as never before. Hang on tight to each other, my darling Kittens. ~~~~~~

Authoress news and mews ~Omygawd! The Kougar received a first mockup of the cover art for KANDY APPLE AND HER HELLHOUNDS from Amanda Kelsey... It is gorgeous, spectacular... ! The only thing is, a major decision is required about the heroine’s image. It is Kandy, however, she never put her hair up in the story, and her red gown is utterly amazing, and what she would wear, but actually doesn’t in the story... yet, where is there a better image? Synchronicity Attack ~ PURPLE HAZE by Jimi Hendrix played as bumper music on Coast to Coast am, while the Kougar was editing Chapter Twenty: There is Purple Everywhere ~~~
Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Worlds colide... sort of.by Rebecca GillanI think my muse needs some prozac or something. I sat down tow write a sequal to last week's post. This is what came out instead. It's quite a bit longer than my usual posts. I hope you like it!**********“I know druidry requires a familiarity with nature, Uncle, but I really don’t know. Taking Shainnon and Ayden for a human style camping trip seems less about nature and more about insanity,” grumped Kincaid. “Surely there are other ways to teach that pair of hellions how to fit in to the human culture than a camping trip. The last time Shainnon went amongst them, it took two black lords to get him out of trouble.” ~~~

I see them and their country on my television every day, my brother lives in America, Americans speak English. ~~~~~~
