Apparently Mainstream Romance Heroines Don't Take the First Punch

 
Midnight hour mews, nifty Big Kitties... yep-yowls, summer is definitely not finished with the tame prairie... however, the heat was mitigated by a huge cloud-haze blanket directly overhead... blue sky and smaller clouds surrounded this 'blanket' ... kinda odd, really... tomorrow is supposed to be the 100 degree day, though... yeah, a big sarcastic 'yippee'... besides, the tame prairie NEEDS rain! please oh please.

Apparently Mainstream Romance Heroines Don't Take the First Punch

A bit of background first... The Kougaress hasn't read any 'mainstream' romance novels for a long while now. At one point, she got burnt out because the storylines became too redundant, and the writing quality lessened ... plus, the books dropped to a fifth grade reading level. And! the type of paranormal romances the Kougaress developed an appetite for, were few and far between. ***Not now, of course. There's a veritable banquet of paranormal genre romances.*** However, at that time, the Kougaress began writing in earnest to create the paranormal-fantasy-otherworld stories she wanted to read.

But back to the topic at paw. Today at TITLE MAGIC, the blog this Big Cat shares with author, Pat Cunningham... Pat posted a fab, insightful blog about what happened to an author friend of ours who is in the midst of doing her edits for her next release. Anyway, our author friend was asked to change a scene where her heroine punches the villainess first. That is, the heroine was supposed to wait to be attacked first, then give the bad all the ole knuckle sandwich.

Apparently, according to the editor, mainstream romance readers expect their heroines to 'wait' until the villainess throws the first punch... what??!! was this Big Cat's response... but, hey, if you're curious about Pat's opinion and knowledgeable-witty insights -- btw, both of us are Buffy fans -- click on over to TITLE MAGIC ~ http://titlemagic.blogspot.com ~ .

Yes, oh yes, the Kougar got more revisions done on RED LIONESS TAMED.

Also, she just received a publisher news *update* from SMASHWORDS. Lots of good business moves going on -- including Smashwords will also be distributing to Flipkart, the Amazon of India. At times, when the Kougar has done e-searches for her published books, she's found the link to them on Flipkart. They use a generic cover, likely because East Indian culture wouldn't allow for the actual cover art... just a guess, however. Looks like too, that Apple has become a hot selling spot for some Smashwords authors.

BIG CAT ALERT: San Francisco Area Under Firestorm Siege. Martial Law Could Be Declared.  Watch out for your behinds, everyone!

Darlings, do everything you can to band together with others of like mind, and if you can, move to fertile areas. Form 'protection' communities, where you watch each other's backs. Also, form communities that surround and *protect* people like the Amish -- and other good farmers/ranchers -- from foreign and domestic enemies. It's all in collapse.

BTW... ***STAY OFF*** the main highways as much as possible. They are becoming death traps for several reasons. Did you know police kill almost as many people chasing down motorists to give them tickets, as drunk drivers? It's gonna get a helluva lot worse.

Coconut oil halts tooth decay by attacking the bacteria that cause it (NaturalNews) If health authorities are going to remain insistent upon lacing the water supply with additives to thwart tooth decay, then they really should be using all-natural coconut oil rather than fluoride chemicals, based on the findings of a new study. Researchers from the Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT) in Ireland have found that coconut oil effectively inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause cavities and mouth infections, without causing any harmful side-effects.
