The Black Wolf or Kandy Apple?

Greetings, Big Kittens... it was a Spring-lovely day on the tame prairie, the birdies are busily flitting about, the bullfrogs are singing... and this Big Cat was able to get out and walk farther than she has for awhile.
Tomorrow is looking like a busy, busy day for moi... and not one she is really looking forward to... miracles are definitely needed.
Of course, that’s the state of our world. Many, many of us need miracles, right now... BIG MIRACLES... may it be so for all of us. Oh, if only the Kougaress had her fairy godmother wand.
~~~
So, now this Big Cat author has another dilemma. If she wants, KANDY APPLE FOR HALLOWEEN, her Witch and Hellhounds story e-pubbed, it has to be submitted by May 2010... this means the Kougar would have to devote her writerly energies to completing and polishing this WIP, instead of finishing THE BLACK WOLF’S PROPHETESS. Yowl-dang it!!!
Plus, she has no clue when the edits for BRANDED BY THE TEXANS will arrive. Since it’s 113,000 plus word count... the editing process will be time-intensive... and may mean she couldn’t get Kandy Apple finished in time, anyway... Kitty screams of frustration up to the skies...

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 457 ~

Sylva allowed herself a blink as everything seemed to grind to a halt around her. Zeke’s dad had a voice similar to her cowboy. She wanted to whip around for a good look. She didn’t, keeping her gaze trained on possum-unmoving man. “Yup,” Aunt Martha’s captive broke the silence, “I got a full growth of whiskers now. Then, I was clean shavin’ as you. Remember them Senorita twins we met one hot Mexican night. What was their handles... Constance... let’s see now... kinda scrubbed it clean out of my mind. Wife don’t like it, if ya know what I mean.”

Zeke almost heard his aunt’s formidable frown before she spoke. “Yer married, ya piece of buzzard carrion. What woman would want you?” Hearing his dad inch closer to the first bushwhacker, Zeke knew there must be something to what he’d been saying or his father would have dismissed him and began making arrangements to have them taken away. “Nelson?” Nevada asked. “Shhh,” the bushwhacker warned, “don’t go by that handle no more. Just call me Coon. Josita, that was her name... a voluptuous beauty with big... ow, stop it, woman. I’m trying to save my hide here. You was with...”

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 456 ~

Sylva edged even closer to Zeke, yet kept her gaze fastened on shot-up man, who had suddenly stilled and looked to be playing possum. It comforted her somewhat that Zeke’s father, Nevada, might recognize the attackers. At the same time, the fact they’d come to abduct her... well, her stomach roiled and her inner self screamed. Still, there was a niggling part of her that wanted to try out her witchy powers, if she really did have them. Experiment. Sylva restrained herself and listened to the commanding approach of footsteps. “Zeke, Martha, you okay? We got Lariat’s varmint under control.”

Zeke eased his stance some. “Dad, we’re okay. Come on in.” Refocusing his hawk-like gaze on the second bushwhacker, he aimed to stop the man from grabbing the tech-advanced pistol. “One move,” he warned. “One move,” Aunt Martha echoed, her tone fierce as a mother bear. “This is certainly a scene I didn’t expect to see durin’ your honeymoon, son. Hello, Sylva, I was expectin’ to meet you proper like when Zeke brought you home to the ranch.” Zeke heard his dad pivot toward the first bushwhacker. “Did I hear right? You know the Mesa Cantina?” The sudden silence became deafening.

Flash of Radio and a Chivalrous Rescue

They just look GOOD, don't they?

Beloved Big Cats, a sundown shout out from the tame prairie...oh, how exquisitely lovely the pink-hued horizon lit up one of those blue skies that speaks to your soul.

Oh, the times they are a-changing, my Kittens... drastically changing... the Kougaress feels like she is on a high wire and mighty winds are buffeting her... there is nothing to catch her below, except a deep, deep dark ravine... in several years nothing will look the same... what we have known, what we have grown up with... gone, gone with a wind so violent historians will never be able to do it justice... unless, there is INTERVENTION from the Divine... unless...

How’s that for the opening to a novel? Or, maybe the Kougar will use it in her Black Wolf love story.

Featured at the LIQUID SILVER SEX blog ~ Ooooh, some wonderful flashies, Big Kittens.

Is chivalry dead?
By Dee Carney
Welcome to Flash Fiction Sunday!


Moi’s flashie ~

From the Kougar’s WIP ~ Radio for the Star-Crossed Lover


One ~
“To start my radio game of star-crossed love and lust. I’ll share why I have arrived at this moment. It’s tragically simple. No love. No lust. No real man. I want one, a real man...yes, real love and real lust.
“I have this one fantasy, to outline it for you...the sexy handsome super-powers alien man who is searching for his true love and lust mate...he lands here on Earth...and well, the rest is the best of an adventurous romantic novel.
“Or a night-inspiring fantasy, if you get my pleasure-meaning, ladies.
“What are your night-inspiring fantasies, ladies?

Two ~
“What do you passionately crave from an intergalactic lover?
“What do you erotic-crave?
“What does your heart desire?
“Ladies, roll the star dice, spin romance fortune’s wheel, this is your chance at Otherworld love. Who wants to play?
“Oh, by the way, George Noory eat your heart out. You wouldn’t play. You wouldn’t bring intergalactic lovers together with a special hotline. Just for one night. So here I am. You lose, George.
“Ladies, we’ll be back for your calls...” Everything blinked to black. No one moved. No back-up power whirred on. Only the rush of their breaths echoed around them.

Three ~
In the heavier-than-lead silence, Sylfann took off her head phones.
“I take it we’re not on the air,” she quietly stated. Her nerves sizzled on the high-heat setting.
‘Sylfann, come with me. Now.’
“Who’s that?” Her body danced on a razor’s edge.
‘Behind you. Come with me.’
Glass shattered loudly. Sylfann froze. A brutal wacking began on the building’s street-level door, immediately followed by slashing wacks on the back door. Around her, the pounding echoed savagely.
Shocked out of her mind, Sylfann burst upwards,
“This is the FBI.” The bull-horning voice menaced. “Do not move. We are entering the building.”

Four ~
“Stay where you are. Do not resist. You will not be harmed.”
Not believing that for a second, Sylfann tried to remember another way out. Her thoughts raced as if on a speedway as she stepped backwards.
Two strong hands gripped her shoulders. Sylfann jumped, screaming like a cornered animal.
Reassuringly, the hands remained on her shoulders. “Come with me. If you want to save your life,” a man’s voice whispered in her ear.
Whoever he was or the FBI? Sylfann thought quantum fast. She grabbed her bag from the back of her chair. “Okay.”
‘Turn around. Hold onto me.’

Five ~
“Telepathy?” she whispered, obeying.
The two doors crashed open, banging like explosions against the walls. Sylfann flinched, flattening herself on the man’s very virile chest.
More glass shattered, the shards raining down on her. Sylfann threw her arms around the man’s neck, feeling the imprint of his hunky body against hers, delicious in any other circumstance.
The man’s arms tightly embraced her. To her wicked surprise, they slowly levitated upwards. Don’t think, Sylfann told herself. Just hang on.
A horde of footsteps pounded up the two stairways.
Sylfann squeezed her eyes shut as they sailed higher.

Six ~
Below her, she heard gagging and coughing. ‘Oh, god, tear gas! Her friends, no!’
‘Do not breathe. Kiss me.’
Holding her breath, Sylfann lifted her face. A man’s lips clamped on her lips, fantastic feeling lips, but they weren’t kissing her.
“Where is she?” the bullfrog-gravelly shout demanded.
His lips sealed on hers like superglue and her beyond-strange savior’s grip tightened. A whirr-buzzing sound surrounded them, and it felt as if they surged through glue. Sylfann felt a sucking sensation as they slid, then rose swiftly in the cool night air.
He unclamped her lips. Sylfann breathed hard and fast.

Seven ~
She clung, her lungs pumping, her heart pounding out of her chest. Questions and her fears raced each other, stumbling over each other to reach her lips.
They shot forward suddenly, angling ever higher. As they rocketed somewhere, Sylfann caught glimpses of the city’s blazing lights. Skyscrapers disappeared looking wavy-fuzzy. If she hadn’t been hellishly scared out of her mind, she would have enjoyed the superman ride.
Heavy, violent, the throb vibrated her body. Sylfann shot her gaze toward the sound. “Oh my god! A black helicopter!”
‘Three. We are close.’
Transfixed, Sylfann watched one helicopter dive, and charge them.

Eight ~
Burying her face in his amazingly muscled chest, she clung like a scaredy-cat.
They streaked downward and Sylva dared a peek. Fast, furious, they wove through the city’s maze of buildings. Roller coaster, Sylfann told herself. Pretend it’s a roller coaster.
The nasty throb of the three helicopters pulsed through her, only diminishing as they slowed, then almost hovered. Sylfann glanced around, seeing an odd tunnel. Delivery-truck large, it silvery gleamed.
Utterly intrigued, she stared at the horseshoe-shaped opening that appeared to be self-illumining.
Deeper and deeper, they floated inside, but to where?
“You’re not from around here,” she stage-whispered.

Nine ~
“Earth, I mean,” she added.
‘Neither are you.’
Stunned to the soles of her feet, Sylfann had no clue what to think. Did he mean because she’d recently moved to the outskirts of Chicago?
‘We are landing. You must stay in my arms.’
‘No problem,’ she tried.
‘Good girl.’
Sylfann felt his amusement while her feet landed on a surface. Looking down, she saw a circular platinum-colored platform. Glancing up quickly, she ran her gaze over him. He wore a black-film suit, similar to a scuba diver. Only his eyes and his mouth were visible.
‘Don Johnson lips.’
“Don Johnson?’

Ten ~
“Miami Vice. Where are we?’
‘The Hub. Remain still.’
‘The Hub?’
Whoosh! The sound whirled around Sylfann. Somehow, they spun upwards without spinning. Feeling car sick, Sylfann clenched her eyelids, and prayed she didn’t puke on Mr. Super Mysterious Man.
Hating her helplessness, she hung onto him like a frightened child.
When everything stopped, when she stood on something solid, she opened her eyes. Blinking, she saw a Star Trek-like bridge, the down-sized version.
Aware he still held her flush against his hunky body, she realized why. Buzzing seized her brain. Dizziness consumed her whole. Then, it was lights out.

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 455 ~

Sylva felt wonky-shaky inside. “One of you three is one of them. One of the Secret Circle.” She hauled in a breath. “And, if someone doesn’t come clean... Lariat, where is he?” Aunt Martha shifted and Sylva figured she took a look. “Lariat is sittin’ on the varmint. He’s hailing Nevada. The cavalry’s arrived.” Not taking her eye off her target, Sylva asked, “Your dad?” From her peripheral vision, she caught her cowboy’s nod. “Yep, dad. He can transport the Secret Circle agent to our regional holdin’ center. Know who is who, darlin’?” Sylva decided on discretion. “I might. Then, again.”

Zeke concentrated on hearing everything that happened around him while keeping a steady aim. His own instincts clawed at him ruthlessly. The faster this latest Secret Circle attack was handled, the better. “Anyone wants to confess anything more, now is the time,” he quietly growled. “Unless, you want the attentions of the real experts.” Zeke heard the boots of the old-timer scrape the floor. “Hell’s whiskers, it is Nevada. He’ll recognize me.” Glancing quickly, Zeke saw his aunt’s scowl. “I don’t recognize you, ya ugly scoundrel.” She pinched his ear hard. “Ow! Dang it, woman. You didn’t frequent the Mesa Cantina.”

Radio rescue kisses from the Kougar...

Treasures in the Year of the Cat

Maows, good Big Beautiful Cats all... the day turned to rain on the tame prairie, but not before the Kougar retrieved the print copies she’d ordered of STALLION OF ASH AND FLAME from her over-large mail box... it’s positively gorgeous, of course... and moi gave it a non-smudging smooch.

Today was a day of many treasures... for which this Big Cat is truly grateful.

One of the first treasures was the song, Year of the Cat... yep, synchronicity claws, because as the Kougar penned RED LIONESS TAMED she would often hear that song on Coast to Coast, and, so it came about last night while Art Bell hosted for George Noory. Given Sun Rocket’s interview was up at the NAUGHTY LITTLE VAMP blog this very day... and! This Big Cat author also included a snippet from her newly penned short story, THE TIGER’S MASQUERADE in her bloggie for ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY... roars! In the Year of the Cat...

Oh, those sneaky kitkats... they got a couple over on the wolfies. Sun Rocket and Zyrru owned moi’s writerly mind interrupting Duke and Sondra’s story. However, it appears as though, the wolves are mounting a comeback.

Another treasure... soon after the Kougaress arose, she saw an exquisite cardinal, a red male, who perched on a bush branch for a long while. The next treasure... on the regular old radio, the Beatles’s song, ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, was played... one of moi’s absolute faves. Plus! The group, Jefferson Airplane... from the moi’s generation, was also featured, another one of this Big Cat’s faves... two fantabulous songs, one of them WHITE RABBIT... oh! And then! Jimi Hendrix singing ‘you’re a heartbreaker’ and then singing WILD THING... another one the Kougaress’s *favorite of all time songs* from that time.

Then! Another incredible treasure... the author, Jim Marrs was on the Unknown Country radio show. He talked about a novel he’d written, SISTERHOOD OF THE ROSE... about a woman French Resistance Fighter in the WWII... usually he only write the serious conspiracy books... want to know what that war was really about? It’s not what we’ve all been taught... er, brainwashed to believe. Jim Marrs is one of the most incredible investigative journalists out there, and all around amazing and very colorful man.

And, how about this treasure? The Kougar worked on her three blurbs [small, medium and large] for BRANDED BY THE TEXANS and the cover art form. Here’s the 150 word blurb ~

What can three Texans do to a woman’s body and heart?
Kylie is about to find out.
Beyond her wildest dreams.
On a parallel Earth.

It’s 2009... Kylie is on the run from the law for a crime she didn’t commit. A promising doctoral student, she’s lost everyone and almost everything, except for what she stows in her car. Now, Kylie has to salvage the rest of her life. But, where in this age of GPS tracking, TV’s Most Wanted and cameras everywhere?

It’s 2009... Dillon, Dono and Dash, three brothers are desperate for a wife to brand as their own. The Union made women scarce in the Three Star Republic by releasing a bio weapons’ plague during the border wars. These tough-as-leather Texans will do anything to keep the right woman, even if they have to lasso her like a wild filly and love on her until she loves them back.

~~~

So, while doing research for Branded’s cover art, moi journeyed over to Ellora’s Cave since they often have great cover art... what did she discover, but this fab-perfect saying in the upper left corner ~ CELEBRATING TEN YEARS OF REFUSING TO BEHAVE
WOW! Can this Big Cat ever get on board with that!

~~~
So, then she clicked over to Wild Rose Press since they have westerns... and what did she discover? Celia Yeary, one of our very own at HAPPILY EVER AFTER has a Wayback, Texas series book ~

SHOWDOWN AT SOUTHFORK
Marla Ellington inherits an abandoned town on ranchland near Wayback, Texas. When she arrives to claim her property, and finds Cody Matheson sitting...

~~~
Okay, in search of more Western Romance inspiration, moi headed over to PETTICOATS AND PISTOLS ~ http://petticoatsandpistols.com ~ a whole corral full of lovely Western Romance authors, who pen incredible blogs and have great guest bloggers.
So, what does she find? One of her all-time, soul-favorite topics, yep, all about *** FREEDOM ***

Check out this blog by Karen Kay, Western Romance Author who has a new book coming out, SENECA SEDUCTION~
http://petticoatsandpistols.com/2010/03/23/good-morning-or-afternoon/#comments ~ Here’s one paragraph...

Long ago (the Iroquois place the date at 1140AD), before the white man ever stepped foot on the North American continent, there was a Native American confederation that was established for the purpose of bringing peace to the land they called Turtle Island (the known world at that time), and to abolish war forever. That confederation was and still is called the Iroquois confederation or the League of the Five/Six Nations.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 453 ~

Sylva held her ground despite the weird grunts of the shot-up man who squirmed as if his head was about to explode. “They sent us to get you, witch. My pardner has a device was supposed to make you unconscious. Stop! Stop!" Zeke moved closer to her. “Who is ‘they’?” he growled, his tone vicious. “Now,” Sylva prompted none too nicely. “Got the device,” Aunt Martha piped up. “The Secret Circle, they found us, made us come after you,” on the floor man hollered. “Thought our magic ways would overcome yours. All I got is a rattlesnake-bit headache.” He moaned.

Zeke cast a glance back at his aunt. She held up a round compass-looking device that glowed a florescent green from its tiny screen. “Where did the Secret Circle find you?” he demanded. “Mystic Mountain near Santa Fe,” the first bushwhacker answered. “We was hidin’ out from the world. Ever since magic became a jailin’ offence. Got our own colony of folks. We was doin’ fine. Livin’ off the land. And not botherin’ no one. One of ‘their’ psychics founds us. They’re holdin’ some of us as hostages. If we don’t bring the witch back they’re gonna experiment on ‘em.”

Sun Rocket's Interview and Mae West

Weekend purrs, my gorgeous and sunshine-giddy Felines, it’s a big blogging Saturday for the Kougar.

First, there’s Sun Rocket’s Interview at NAUGHTY LITTLE VAMP ~ http://naughtylittlevamp.blogspot.com ~

This is my heroine in RED LIONESS TAMED, Sun Rocket Kahoqua’s first interview from the future to our 21st century time. There’s a lot of shrimp goodies packed into this Chinese takeout interview. Sun Rocket talks about herself, her times and, of course, Draxen, her swashbuckling space captain.

RED LIONESS TAMED

Intro ~

If yer partial to a futuristic adventurous romp of lust and love on the high celestial seas of space...if you have a yen for those cat shifter types, lament no longer...
And watch out if yer a bad kitty shifter roaming the galactic ports, there’s a kick-ass Lioness on your fleeing furry tail.
Year 3051, the Earth calendar used on Terra-Mars, a terra-formed moon orbiting Mars, the home world of ‘Sun Rocket’ Kahoqua of the Windgrass Clan.

Blurb ~

What does a lioness shifter do when she's suddenly trapped in an unknown space cruiser's cargo hold? Then, despite her ability to savagely defend herself, she's trapped beneath the handsome human Captain. And next, cat-scratching ridiculously, she finds herself carnal-trapped, and meow yowl! bound by leather straps in his bed?
Answer: She fights tooth and claw. Problem: The loner Captain is nova-hot at seducing her.

~~~

Second! The Kougar is posting at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY ~ here’s the opening ~

Sinful Saturday ~ Mae West, Sexual Rebel

When caught between two evils, I generally pick the one I've never tried before.

~ Mae West

One of my favorite all-time sinners is the actress, author and so much more, Mae West. Long, long ago I read Mae West’s autobiography.

~~~

Guess what, my KitKats, moi finished her editing *for now* on THE TIGER’S MASQUERADE ~ her short story. She has formatted it for submission. However, this particular anthology may not be the story’s home for a couple of reasons.
Yowls still, the Kougar is happily euphoric about her romp of a story. Verra verra happy! And, will find it a home, regardless.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 453 ~

Sylva chilled at the way the bullet-drilled bastard laughed, the sound reminding her of too many late night horror movies. As if she stood outside herself, she wondered at her own relative coolness in the face of all that occurred. So far. “Maybe, we ought to put a hole in his head,” she muttered. “See what comes out.” Aiming her gaze, she pretended to laser a hole that would show her the answers to Zeke’s questions. Amazingly, the man screamed clutching his head as if she’d actually done what she imagined. Shaken, bewildered, she trembled for moments, staring at him.

Zeke would have fired, adding another hole in the bushwhacker’s hide, except that his scream keened like a tortured animal. “Make the witch stop!” he hollered, rocking back and forth. Seizing his advantage, whatever it was, Zeke demanded,” Talk, or I’ll have her do worse.” At that same instant, Aunt Martha entered with her prisoner. “Oh, gawd, no! It’s the witch!” the first bushwhacker yelled as if he was about to be eaten alive. “If I’m *the witch*, somebody better start talking. Or, I’m going to start adding to the toad population,” his Sylva boldly stated. The shot bushwhacker writhed.

Impossible... sigh

Late night maows, Big Kittens, Spring has sprung again on the tame prairie. Robust growth is everywhere, along with more mud. The days fly by... oh yes, earlier today, this Big Cat watched one of her hawks sail over the pasture, a gorgeous flight that would have been described as melodic if it were translated into music.
~~~
Oh, the impossible arrives, once more on the Kougaress’s doorstep. She is tired to her core, having little energy to devote to solving the *impossible* these days... mew and sigh... yes, she must be a very wicked kitty girl, indeed... for there is no rest from the slings and arrows of this life... especially not these days.
Still, she’ll do her best... and keep on moving down the road...

~~~
On a good paw, the Kougar did write up her blog claw-penned for Romance Writers Behaving Badly, to be posted this Saturday. And!!! she did get more good editing done on her tiger short story. Currently, moi is leaning toward the title ~ The Tiger’s Masquerade. It looks like this particular title hasn’t been used, at least, as far as a Googlie search determined. Though, that seems odd to this Big Cat, since those rogues of historical times often have such nicknames as Tiger, Wolf, Hawk, Falcon...
~~~
Today, moi heard that only16% of census forms have been returned... yep, moi is waiting until the last moment to let them know ONLY how many folks reside at her location... perhaps, that’s the thought of many Americans, wait until the last day... however, if the American people take a stand by NOT sending in the census forms, well, this Big Cat will stand with them, given that the current government is not legitimate or constitutional in nature. Plus, she is not signing. It is not a legal document and does not require her signature.
If there’s a fine for not signing, then that is use of force, or coercion... and is, therefore, not legal. Not that anyone at the top cares. Their game is intimidation. They would gladly hold a gun to your head. [Remember, this Big Cat is not talking about most *good folks* census workers].

Authoress news and mews ~

Good news about natural dietary supplements. There were no deaths in 2008 or in 2009 from using vitamins, minerals, amino acids or herbs. That is, according to the National Poison Center, their annual reports.
The bad news, none of those natural supplements are paid for or allowed in the Horror Un-Health Care bill. And, if your precious child has a pre-existing condition...nope! They aren’t covered, either. No Insurance Company has to accept them.

French Bread
26-Mar-2010

What happened When We Put LSD in It? -


There are new forms of terrorism being planned all the time, but countries (including the US!) were perpetrating vile experiments on their ALLIES as long as 50 years ago.
In the March 11th edition of the Telegraph, Henry Samuel writes about the "cursed bread" mystery of Pont-Saint-Esprit in France, which caused residents to have hallucinations. This mystery has finally been SOLVED: In 1951, the US government spiked the bread in this tiny village in southern France with LSD, killing 5 people.

At first it was assumed to be due to natural causes, such as that that the local baker had unwittingly contaminated his flour with the hallucinogenic mold ergot, which infects rye grain. But investigative journalist H.P. Albarelli Jr. has figured out that the outbreak resulted from a covert experiment directed by the CIA. At the time, the Swiss-based Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company was secretly supplying both the Army and CIA with LSD.

Albarelli came across the relevant CIA documents while investigating the suspicious suicide of a biochemist who fell (threw himself?) from a 13th floor window 2 years after the bread incident. In one of the documents he found the transcription of a conversation between a CIA agent and a Sandoz official that explains that the French incident was not "at all" caused by mold but by diethylamide, the "D" in LSD.

The "smoking gun" Albarelli found was a White House document sent to members of the Rockefeller Commission formed in 1975 to investigate CIA abuses. It contained the names of a number of French nationals who had been secretly employed by the CIA and made direct reference to the "Pont St. Esprit incident." Samuel reports that scientists at Fort Detrick told Albarelli that agents had sprayed LSD into the air in the French town and also contaminated "local foot products."

After the Korean War the Americans launched a vast research program into the mental manipulation of prisoners and enemy troops. In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, the US army also drugged over 5,700 unwitting American servicemen with LSD between 1953 and 1965. It obviously wasn't a successful program, since we've had to resort to water boarding at Guantanamo.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 452 ~

Sylva wondered if that was Lariat’s voice. It didn’t belong to Aunt Martha. “Sylva,” her cowboy began, “turn around and take aim while I take a look outside. If the bastard moves, shoot.” Not waiting for her to fully pivot around, Zeke backed toward the partially open door. Once she pointed her gun, she heard him sidle toward the opening. “Aunt Martha’s got the bushwhacker by his ear,” he reported. “And Lariat’s trussing up the other varmint.” Sylva blinked. Had the ‘bastard’ moved? Seeing one of his hands inch toward his pistol, she fired.

Zeke whipped around, firing at the man’s arm as he reached for the high-tech pistol. Yelping in pain, he rolled and clutched his arm. “I surrender,” he shouted. “Got enough whiskey-spillin’ holes in me.” Glancing at his Sylva first, Zeke saw her pallor. “Good girl,” he praised while moving closer. “Looks like you nicked his upper arm.” Focusing on their enemy only because it was necessary, he demanded. “Ready to start spillin’ your guts before they end up with holes? Like where that pistol came from. Who you are. Why you’re disrupting my honeymoon and scaring my bride.” The varmint laughed.

Yep, the Spammer Got it

Drizzly evening smooches, my Beautiful Big Cats, yep, some nasty noisy spammer got hold of the moi’s email addy, and used it to advertise a towering member product. So, if you see 80% in the subject line, delete immediately!!! Please!
~~~
Okay, Kittens, the Kougar is still working away on her Tiger short story, making progress on her editing, but the deadline is looming! So plaintive yowls... will she make it?
Of course, Zyrru, the hero’s towering member makes more than one appearance and is inspired by the heroine, Stacy... only. No drugs of any kind were used in the penning of this particular story.

~~~
About a week ago, the Kougaress had this epic dream of being with Adrian Paul... no, not in the towering member way... though, it was a super cool action dream in a lot of ways, including ‘flying’ with him... you know, those flying dreams we have. In this dream, the flying scenes followed tone of the story and the colors were bold shades like an oil painting, yet also dark-toned, sort of like BREED, where Adrian Paul played a vampire in a future world ... AND, BY THE WAY, the Kougar will be starring Adrian Paul as her hottie during the BUNNY HOP BLOG TOUR, scheduled to begin Friday, April 2nd and continuing through Sunday, April 4th.
~~~
This Big Cat was musing on the state of our world, and how many of us are feeling a sense of depression about how things are going in general... gee, natural enough, just given the economy, itself... yet, there’s this weird idea *out there* that drugs like Prozac are somehow required for an emotion suitable to the current situation.
Other than the fact the drug companies make tons o’ money, why promote the idea that natural emotions are bad or that having a feeling of depression is some kind of syndrome? No, we’re human beings. We have emotions and feelings. They go up and down. They change. They respond to whatever we’re experiencing in our lives. You know, like your mood or emotion can change by simply listening to certain songs. At some point, it could be speculated that there will be a *Music-listening Syndrome*, and, well, all you need is this little pill to smooth it all out and make it all go away.
So, if any mental health professional or any nosey busybody or anyone from the government asks how you’re doing and how you’re feeling... here’s a suggestion... put a dream-like smile on your face and say...

Happy, happy, happy
pennies from heaven
a bowl full of cherries
oh, look, the end of the rainbow
and I see the blue bird of happiness
Wow, there’s the light at the end of the tunnel
I know sunny days are here again...
I’m whistling on my way to work these days...
Oh my, it looks like it going to rain, but there’s a silver lining in every cloud...

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 451 ~

Sylva turned, watching Aunt Martha rise and quickly move to a draped contract station. “Anything I can do?” she asked in the following silence. “Yep, darlin’, come stand beside me and point that gun at the door. Shoot if anyone comes in who ain’t Lariat.” Padding next to her cowboy, Sylva positioned herself. “What does Lariat look like?” With the side of her body pressed against his, she felt Zeke relax his stance some. “He’s a blonde, blue-eyed, good lookin’ devil. The ranch’s brand is on his jacket lapel. A horse jumpin’ over the sun and clouds.” Sylva heard boot-wearing footsteps.

Zeke felt his Sylva tense and aim. “Sounds like Lariat. That you, Lariat? Gun is pointed in your direction.” The steps halted, then spun around. “Dang! The varmint!” Aunt Martha raced toward them, her rifle at her side. “I’ll get ‘im,” she shouted, running past them and out the door. “Hell.” Zeke prayed like all get out. He couldn’t leave Sylva. If he picked up their enemy’s advanced-tech pistol and tried using the stun setting to keep him knocked out, it could have nasty consequences. The pistol could explode at his touch. “Sylva...” Several shots sounded close by. “Got him!”

Three Hundred and Fifty Views ~ The Ice God Cometh

Evening yowls, good and amazing Big Kittens, the Kougar just ordered print copies of her bookie, STALLION OF ASH AND FLAME... wahoo and whinnies... and, yes, moi is sadly behind on tagging her Amazon books... well, because, at first, she had no clue how to do it... however, there’s an easy-to-use feature now. So, one of these days, maybe she’ll tag the rest of them... yowls, maybe... it feels like everything speeds by way too fast and furious for this Big Cat.

Meowing of... the Kougar read over Sun Rocket’s interview for the NAUGHTY LITTLE VAMP blog ~ http://naughtylittlevamp.blogspot.com ~ coming this Saturday, the 27th. She made some improvements, then e-sent it to Annie. Oh maowing goodness did moi have fun with this interview ~ Sun Rocket is a kick-ass kick in the pants lioness gal to speak with... and her author hopes this interview will be enjoyed.
Sun Rocket laid it on the line as someone who is viewing our current times from her future perspective. Plus, the intrepid lioness woman told a ‘funny’ on herself, and, yes, there are a few little erotic enticements about her and her swashbuckling space captain, Draxen.


Three Hundred and Fifty Views ~ The Ice God Cometh... yep, at last check today, the Kougar had another good laugh of surprise... there were 350 views of the Kougar’s X-Flash Fiction, The Ice God Cometh, at the Romantic Times’ Forum for Small Press Authors ~ http://romantictimes.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=10 ~
Regularly, this Big Cat author posts her promos on RT magazine’s forum because, for one thing, it lets you know how many views there are, even though there are rarely any actual comments. Also, as far as actual views on moi’s other posts, they have been pretty darn good. Thank you! to All who do check them out.
Admittedly, the Kougar’s eyes bugged out, the first time she noticed the high amount of views for this particular post compared to the other e-pub posts around it. And, that hasn’t changed. So, obviously, readers like the Flash. Too bad moi doesn’t have the time, right now, to write the entire story. Gee, maowsers, it might sell well.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 450 ~

Sylva’s gaze flashed up and down her cowboy husband, then remained on his face. Utterly relieved, he was in one piece and in control of the situation... still, his open robe had her hormones rising, despite the danger around them. How ridiculous was that? she wondered as she listened to Aunt Martha’s words. Aware she clutched the gun tightly, Sylva relaxed her grip. The Secret Circle, was this one of their plots? Their way of getting to her and Zeke? Of kidnaping her? Or something else, altogether? Zeke’s ruthlessly carved features answered none of her questions. And where was Lariat?

Zeke thought fast while he kept one eye on his Sylva. The sudden cyclone-like attack had few answers and he surely didn’t like the looks of that pistol. He’d seen a proto-type at an international gun show, even shot it himself. The accuracy was enhanced by a new beam technology and the weapon had been designed to incapacitate or to kill. Further, it had a feature that could detect an individual’s blood type and fire accordingly. Only the Good Lord knew what else it was capable of now. “Aunt Martha, contact Dad. I need his expertise before decidin’ on anything.”

Ten Word Taglines, the Challenge

Tackle hugs, my gorgeous Big Felines with the glitter eyes... the Kougaress never claimed to be up on the latest lingo... let alone the latest cyber lingo... meows-though, she came across this term ~ tackle hug ~ and simply adores it. Where it originated, this Big Cat has no clue... slinky shrug... however, since she loves to roll and play and roughhouse, a tackle hug makes perfect sense... her doggies have received big tackle hugs...
Of course, the term could have been inspired by the sports world... the football team falling all over each other in celebration... or the basketball team surrounding each other in a group hug and falling over like dominoes...??? Of purring course, you could always enlighten moi if you know where ‘tackle hug’ came from.

~~~
The Kougar saw Kari Thomas’s challenge ~ a ten word description of your bookies ~ so, of course, her Aries nature, reared up...

STALLION OF ASH AND FLAME ~ A man-stallion saves his Mate, a woman forbidden to him.

HER INSATIABLE DARK HEROES ~ Four superheroes, the Dark Brothers must satisfy one fiery superheroine.

MURDER BY HAIR SPRAY IN GARDENIA, NEW ATLANTIS
~ Sheriff Kalypso despises relationships. Zryphus has found his one woman.

BLACK CAT BEAUTY ~ Claw and fang she fights his super-powered strength and passion.

WHEN A GOOD ANGEL FALLS ~ Where angels fear to tread, 2012 Earth, the brutal endtimes?

TANGERINE CARNAL DREAMS ~ A fire-shooting fierce woman. A shapeshifting prince of a stallion.

ALL SHADES OF BLUE PARADISE ~ An aristocratic world of fiercest passion ~ The Baron claims Sheridan.

RED LIONESS TAMED ~ Lioness shifter lost in space with a loner swashbuckling captain.

~~~

Here was the Kougar’s inspiration ~

Some one asked me to sum up my books in ten words or less. Here's what I came up with:

HUNTED MATE --- A Shapeshifter' s debt stands in the way of true love.

HER HEART HIS SOUL --- An Angel Warrior must choose love or his soul's redemption.

SEDUCING THE HERO --- Trust and Seduction go hand in hand, turning into love.

TEMPTATION UNLEASHED --- Tempting the Beast releases a love that is beyond Magical.

PREY FOR THE WOLF --- A game of dangerous love surrounds the Wolf's Prey.

UNDER A SHIFTER'S MOON --- A Jaguar Shifter chooses life or death for his Truemate.

WHAT'S YOURS? Come on, share!

The following week should be lived with an attitude of caution. Major events on the world stage, and in your personal life, are likely to occur that will determine the future for years to come. The endgame is to *use* whatever occurs to your best advantage and to minimize the immediate affects. This goes for yourself and for everyone you love, everyone you know. This is a directional week, meaning it’s like a compass. Wherever the compass is pointed by those holding the compass, that will be direction taken. How to know the best direction? Seek spiritual guidance in the manner that best serves you.
This is also a week to continue Spring projects. It’s full steam ahead.

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 449 ~

Sylva had half expected the pistol not to fire. It’s not like she knew what she was doing. But the bullet struck the man’s chest. She witnessed the impact, only now she saw no blood. Not until Aunt Martha fired again. Whoever he was, he dropped his strange-looking pistol, collapsing face downward. Sylva automatically took several steps back. Blood spread from a shoulder wound, staining the man’s buckskin shirt. “Your shot was true, Sylva,” Aunt Martha calmly stated. “He’s wearin’ a chest protector. You firin’ gave me time enough to shoot the bastard again. Thanks.” Sylva nodded, mumbling, “You’re welcome.”

Zeke halted at the partially open front door, his rifle raised. Assessing the scene quickly, he slowly moved inside toward his Sylva. “Everything okay?” he asked Aunt Martha. Sylva jerked around to face him. “I don’t hear no other intruders. And you know, Jaegar, he’d be chirping again. Heard his beeps of warning, just before I heard this no-good laser open the back door. Must be a newfangled device. And I ain’t never seen a weapon like that.” She thrust her rifle barrel pointing at the odd gun beside the man who was dressed the same way as the bushwhacker.

THE HORRORS OF THE UN-HEALTH BILL HAVE BEGUN... it’s highly doubtful this Big Cat will survive this latest government horror. So, she will offer her farewells now, while she still can and await the inevitable catastrophic end. How long that will be ~ months, several years ~ she has no way of knowing, right now. Only the Divine knows that timing.
Know the Kougar loves you and cares about you.
And, know it will take 4 and a half to 5 years before any so-called free health care programs will actually begin. In the meantime, the insurance companies will make out like bandits, we Americans will be taxed to death, so that by the year 2015, no monies, which will be stolen by then, anyway, will be available to those folks still surviving.

Blessed be to All.

No Springing Spunk

Nope, no springing spunk and no flashing for this under-the-weather kitty, my fab fortune-smiling Felines... however, the Kougar did get quite a bit done on Sun Rocket’s interview for the Naughty Little Vamps blog... and, if she stays still, her sick body doesn’t feel quite as bad... allergies? Flu?... shrug... she can’t tell what’s wrong exactly.
~~~
Looks like Saturday was a tech-scary day for a couple of us. Ms. Serena Shay of the My Mind Wanders blog... posted about her almost-modem catastrophe... and the Kougar was working splendidly along on her little tiger tale... however, when she clicked on save, then got up to take care of some other business... she got a big nasty scare upon her return... corel wordperfect went into its malfunction mode... and moi had no idea if she’d lost all her good work despite diligently saving everything... somehow in that whole stupid process they have of supposedly saving things... which never works the way they say... this Big Cat was able to get her flashdrive in and get the document on it, before everything disappeared... EVERYTHING, no document of any kind... gone, as if they’d been wiped out in some sort of cyber war...nope, nada a file... nothing... all blank... fortunately, everything is backed up on the flashdrives... so, yep, time for the ole reboot... computer off, computer on... and, there it was back, looking the same. EVERYTHING.

This Big Cat author SOOOOOOO needs another backup computer set up, and working. However, the last one she ordered, the order went wonky... and now, well, finances are too tight. And Windows Seven is out, given the fact that they are planning to install a code ~ KB971033 ~ in the future that will literally make your computer a slave to them. Even uninstalling this update may not work.

This will be Sun Rocket Kahoqua’s first interview from the future to our 21st century time. My, my meow, the revealing tale-tail she tells about herself and her times.

RED LIONESS TAMED

Intro ~

If yer partial to a futuristic adventurous romp of lust and love on the high celestial seas of space...if you have a yen for those cat shifter types, lament no longer...
And watch out if yer a bad kitty shifter roaming the galactic ports, there’s a kick-ass Lioness on your fleeing furry tail.
Year 3051, the Earth calendar used on Terra-Mars, a terra-formed moon orbiting Mars, the home world of ‘Sun Rocket’ Kahoqua of the Windgrass Clan.

Blurb ~

What does a lioness shifter do when she's suddenly trapped in an unknown space cruiser's cargo hold? Then, despite her ability to savagely defend herself, she's trapped beneath the handsome human Captain. And next, cat-scratching ridiculously, she finds herself carnal-trapped, and meow yowl! bound by leather straps in his bed?
Answer: She fights tooth and claw. Problem: The loner Captain is nova-hot at seducing her.

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 448 ~

Sylva stepped onto the floor from the bottom step, seeing Aunt Martha sitting on a high-backed chair, her rifle aimed square at the door. She advanced slowly, silently, that odd sensation of something amiss dogging her steps. As quickly as she spun around to the left on pure instinct, as quickly a man rushed toward her. She raised her gun. Aunt Martha fired. The attacker fell to his knees. Holding his blood-seeping side, he raised his weapon toward Aunt Martha. Sylva steadied her pointing gun and pulled the trigger. Everything turned into a slow motion dream. She heard a thud.

Zeke squinted, watching the viper’s attempt to hypnotize him by using his eyeball, bright as a shiny new marble.”You won’t be pointin’ your rifle at me for much longer, son.” Something in the bushwhacker’s voice alerted Zeke. Aiming, he fired. The bullet grazed the man’s temple, blacking him out. Once he collapsed, Lariat hauled out his length of rawhide and went to work, binding his wrists. “Hogtie, the old buzzard good. I’m headed back to the apartment.” Zeke whirled, racing for the front door. Hearing Aunt Martha’s rifle fire, he sprinted faster, only slowed by positioning his own rifle.

A Burglar's Wet Dream

Snowy cold yowls, my first-day-of-Spring Kittens... yes, the Kougaress has been peering out at the accumulating snow all day... blowing, falling... no, not a mere thin blanket of the white wet stuff... but a real snowfall. Plus, it’s been a foggy gray, then like white out conditions... heck, moi couldn’t see past the middle of her pasture.
~~~
Authoress purrs, only 800 words over, Kitkats. Yes, all the Kougar has to do is eliminate, ruthlessly hack out about 800 words, and her short story will be the maximum 10,000 words.
Of course, that doesn’t cover whatever revisions there are... and what the title is, well, that’s still a mystery...Tame a Party Tiger or maybe Call of the Wild Masquerade or maybe...???


Here’s an opening snippet ~

Zyrru slid his hand inside the pocket of his sharkskin evening jacket, palming his contact device. For privacy, he stepped outside, onto the mansion’s old-fashioned balcony. The flat side of the device adhered itself to the center of his palm and his sire’s visage appeared.
Even the miniature image of his father’s face on the gently rounded surface of his homeworld communicator was duly impressive. In point of fact, Zyrru had never known of an occasion when the Regent King of the Valparaiso Realm hadn’t been ferociously impressive.
Annoyed by the interruption, yet relieved his face couldn’t be seen, since he’d shifted to a human tiger version of himself, Zyrru lounged comfortably against the balcony’s stone wall. He’d let his striped skin pigments show for the Halloween Call of the Wild Masquerade ball he attended, and his big cat ears were on full display, a forbidden act while vacationing on Earth.
He touched the device on. “You hailed, father? I will hope all remains serene on the Flatland.”
“The Princess waits upon your proposal of marriage,” his sire stately intoned without preamble.

~~~~~~

Okay, up front, most census workers are great honest folks. I know two of them. And I love and respect them both.

That being said...


So, what would be a burglar’s wet dream? Why it would be this year’s census info. My gosh, talk about that pot o’ gold at the end of the paperwork rainbow. Yes, imagine, if you will, you’ve been wanting access to those ritzy residences. Either you sign on as a census worker, or simply find one that will give you all the information they’ve gathered for the right price. Good gravy, talk about the perfect criminal ring.
And, hey, the hackers are in seventh heaven. Because, truthfully, it’s a piece of cake for them to get anything out of a government computer. Not one iota of info you put down on the census will be protected. Don’t fool yourself. The government can promise up the wazoo that your private info is safe... but, hey, they won’t be held responsible and are never held responsible [you can’t sue them] for all the computer info that has been stolen, lost conveniently, sold illegally, etc.


READ THE FOLLOWING AT YOUR OWN RISK ~

Plus, consider this... in truth, you’re damned if you answer all the questions and you’re damned if you don’t... in a whole bunch o’ ways. If you answer and the robbers get you, well, hey, you might as well have opened your door and invited them in saying, help yourself to everything I’ve worked a lifetime for... if you don’t answer, well, then the gov thinks they have the right to fine your ass, or worse.
If you DO ANSWER their extremely intrusive and none-of-your-damned business questions, it also means THEY will sell your answers to the highest bidder... yep, they will just as they’ve done in the past. It also means, whatever you say can and will be used against you. In a kangaroo court.

Consider this, if you’re elderly, you are particularly at risk. No, in most cases elder care is not showing up at your door to assist you. There’s a whole lot of nasty greedy BAD people working in these gov/ private organizations, and they’re coming to take everything they can get their grubby hands on. That means your house, your property, your personal belongings. Because they’ll declare you incompetent and ship you off to some horror old folks home. Sadly, these days, this scenario happens over and over again. Hell, some BAD GUYS/GALS hospital staff sells this kind of info on their patients for a cut of whatever is stolen.

And, hey, never mind, our beloved Constitution of the United States of America ONLY, that’s ONLY, folks, says the ONLY thing the census is for is to apportion representatives for congress from your state. Yep, that’s it. This means the ONLY legal thing you need to provide is how many people are at the residence. YES, THAT’S IT. And, YOU DON’T HAVE TO SIGN anything!!!
Our founding fathers and mothers were damn smart about a whole lot of things! Believe it, or not. Like having a census every ten years. Like the only information gathered is how many residents. That’s it. Nothing else!
Yes, if you sign the census that means you’ve *supposedly* agreed to tell them whatever they want to know. Plus, if THEY think they’ve found one error, well, pony up the huge fine and we can throw your ass in jail, anyway. Hey, never mind, THEIR fraud negates your consent.
So, bottom ass line, if you tell them what they want know, you’re screwed. If you don’t, you’re screwed. Because actually THEY could get you for NOT following the Constitution. Yep, it’s CATCH 22.

Plus, it’s absolute crap about apportioning tax dollars. Why? Tax dollars received go directly to THE FEDERAL RESERVE, a private corporation, not a government agency. Tax dollars are NOT going for roads or repair, or for ANY government program at all. Besides, do you really want to pay for the Government Rich and Famous? Their jets, their crystal, their Marie Antoinette lifestyle?

All those funds used for gov programs are *borrowed* from THE FEDERAL RESERVE at an interest rate decided by those BANKSTERS who run THE FEDERAL RESERVE. Hell, they don’t even have a money-growing tree. They have printing presses. They have bits and bites... you know, they just create *money* out of thin cyber air.
Since THEY have this magical ability, well, they can just print up or create however much money is needed for all those government programs. Why vampire-suck off Americans?

Answer: Because they can. They have the big armies and the big guns. They are that evil. They are that power-hungry. Because absolute power corrupts absolutely. Because they are psychopaths who know how to hide what they really are. Hideous monsters, not human beings. No compassion or caring beats within their breasts. No, they consider it a strength to prey on all of us and ruin our lives.

Truth is, too, there is no money to apportion to anyone or to any gov program. The US is broke. Hell, the US is trillions and trillions in debt. That is, the United States is in debt. However, the United States of America IS NOT in debt.
The difference? The United States is a corporation. The United States of America is our beloved country, the one that has been stolen from all of us.
We, the American people do not owe the fraudulent debt of The United States. We don’t owe the tax collector, with very rare exception.
The US has been living on someone else’s very expensive dime. Yeah, the Federal Reserve’s very expensive and constitutionally illegal dime. And not one of us Americans owes one penny towards that debt, because none of us, and none of our ancestors, knowingly consented to being the United States instead of the United States of America.

Look at it this way. Would you want to give your mother-in-law, or any relative, fifty percent of what you earn with the agreement that they’ll return only as much as they decide on, and they can damn well tell you how you’re going to spend your own money. And, if you run out of money, well, they’ll just lend you back your own money for a percentage rate they decide on. Yep, that is exactly what’s going on.
It’s that simple. It’s that horrible. We’ve all been had.

Self-Doubt

Self-doubt is the bane of any writer's existence. It creeps in when you least expect it and can stop you cold. I know it's stopped me several times and lately, I've been experiencing it a little more often than I'd like.

New chilli grenade packs a punch

~ http://ananova.com/News/story/sm_3718695.html ~

It's the hottest new bit of hardware in the arms race - a non-lethal hand grenade loaded with the world's most powerful chillies.

Military experts in India have developed a new crowd control grenade packed with ground seeds from the Bhut Jolokia, officially recognised as the hottest chilli on the planet by Guinness World Records.

When deployed the grenade showers the targets with a dust so spicy that in trials subjects were blinded for hours and left with breathing problems.

Military leaders say it will be a major breakthrough in riot control or smoking out criminals and terrorists from their hiding places.

"The chilli grenade is a non-toxic weapon and when used would force a terrorist to come out of his hideout," said lead scientist R.B. Srivastava at India's Defence Research and Development Organisation.

"The effect is so pungent that it would literally choke them out."

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 447 ~

Sylva cautiously crept downward, her eyes accustomed to the light. God, she hoped Zeke and Lariat were okay. Though, from what she knew of her cowboy, he seemed more than capable of handling himself. Still, her heart tripped rapidly, and she kept a careful grip on the gun as she slowly descended. “That you, Miss Sylva?” Aunt Martha’s voice called out. “It’s me. Is it safe to come down?” She paused. “Come on down. I got the rifle trained for anything unwanted coming through the door.” Feeling her tension ease, Sylva continued moving down the stairs. “Okay, I’m coming down.”

Zeke sloughed off the old-timer’s attempt to gain control of his mind by using an ancient Indian-taught method. Instead, he returned the bushwhacker’s trick by staring at the man’s left eye, and using his own ability to mesmerize an enemy. “Hell, boy, yer privates is blowin’ in the wind.” Zeke would have enjoyed a laugh at the fact that he’d raced outside and now his robe hung open, but this man was dangerous as a pissed off viper. “Got the rifle that counts. Why are you shootin’ at my foreman?” The old-timer didn’t move, except for one of his eyes.
