Holiday Moment ~ Burgess King, Penguin Shifter

Yep, here’s a pic of "Burgess King" for your viewing pleasure...

Deep freeze mews, my holiday-tinsel and tantalizingly beautiful Felines... yes, the tame prairie is in the deep freeze with a coating of snow... wherever you are, the Kougaress hopes you are, and remain, warm and safe... and, hang in there, my loverlies... even though it’s not officially winter, this Big Cat is predicting an early spring for most of our beloved country.

Wowsers, the birds are hardy and tough on the tame prairie... those little critter darlings were out most of the day feeding vigorously, and flying with superb vigor. Not only that they looked downright perky... course, it’s better to keep moving briskly in this weather. Mr. Sol did shine brightly and provided some warming up, but not much compared to the cold, cold Arctic-type winds... brrrrrrr... is an understatement. Take care, my beloved Big Cats. Cause this Big Cat loves ya.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

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

Part 714 ~

Sylva halted the mug partway to her mouth. “Two men?” Marina eyed her, and Sylva knew she gaged what to tell her. Sylva would have said the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth... however, she figured Marina would tell her more if she just listened. “After big brother shot the robo-plane, he and Van followed a low-flying auto, thinking they’d found a couple of sidewinders. Latest is, they don’t know for certain.” Mariana hesitated, resting her mug on her lap. “The two men inside hauled rumpus outside before their auto blew black smoke. Turns out they were runnin’...”

Zeke slowed rapidly. Traces of sulphur hung in the air. Not the usual odor for the explosives he knew about. And, there’d been no sulphur detected in the missile that had hit the barn roof. “No!” a man bellowed behind him. “It’s booby-trapped.” Zeke whipped around, searching the rocks. In the meantime, he heard the low hum of the Westmoreland’s flight jeep. Figuring he better give them a warning if the missile was an ambush, he ran in their direction. Behind him he also heard the Sheriff’s posse land close to rock outcropping. “Hold your fire. We’re comin’ out.”

Beware... The Queen is not your friend!

Did you know the queen of england is part owner of the federal reserve? She owns the bank of england, which is part owner of the federal reserve. So, Americans, you are paying TAXES to the queen. No, not to the government, but to the privately owned federal reserve. That is, if you’re *not* too poor to pay taxes.

BTW, The naked nuke machines at the airports, and soon to be everywhere, are biometric scanners so BIG BROTHER and BIG SIS can find you anytime, anywhere... and, it won’t matter if you’re guilty of anything... and, if they murder you, you’ll be better off. The Nazi nightmare is here. It is now.

Don’t believe this Big Cat? YOU SHOULDN’T. Do your own research. Because, what is the truth?

Weekend purrs, my holiday-prancing and dancing Kittens... warm on the tame prairie and this Big Cat did some winterizing outside today... and! she’s closin’ in on the next chapter of her WIP ~ Kandy Apple for Halloween. No, not Christmasy, but then, the Kougaress isn’t feeling all that in the ‘merry holly jolly’ mood... however, she is feeling spiritual... this Christmas Holiday season feels drastically different than all previous Christmases... something has altered on our beloved Earth... something that is of the heart... something that is of the soul.

Authoress news and mews ~

The Kougar posted the blurb and two excerpts from ALL SHADES OF BLUE PARADISE, her aristocratic fantasy erotic romance at Romance Writers Behaving Badly... ooooh, she didn’t even think of the current timing... until this moment... where the British royals are being vigorously and ‘righteously [imo]’protested... after all, the queen owns BP, yes, the criminal cruel oil company that killed off the Gulf of Mexico. *Karma in action.* However, darling KitKats, the Kougar is not against the aristocracy on general principle. After all, it’s character that counts. The royals in moi’s book may have their bad guys and their squabbles and vicious intrigues. However, they would NEVER NEVER kill off their planet-world... and, they have created a world where the blue bloods champion everyone, regardless of status.

AND!

Thank You to the reader who rated BRANDED BY THE TEXANS a *4* at Barnes and Noble. Good, good vibrations coming your way... yeee-haww!

A Holiday Gift For You
by Bekki Lynn

The holidays are my favoritie time of the year. I love the buzz, the lights, the cheeriness decorations bring to the neighborhoods. It seems many people are friendlier and smile more. What I love most though is the shopping for gifts I know will bring happiness, smiles and joy to those I love. It brings me joy to watch them open gifts on Christmas morning.

This year, I'm extending my giving to readers. For the month of December, you can purchase Annie and the Young Master 50% off.

AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.

Date: 2009-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ...... isn't it?!
I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]
I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and
one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.

Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,
Alex

I probably don't have to ask you to forward this one.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

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

Part 712 ~

Sylva knew she gave a nod, but barely. With Ginger’s wise words, she willed herself to lift the mug and inhale. Steamy comfort filled her nostrils. Sylva took a sip all too aware Ginger watched her carefully. “Mmmm... good. Like I’ve said to Zeke, you all have the best food here.” Sylva took a longer sip, and let the warmth fill her. “Zeke?” she asked. “Big brother is just fine,” Marina answered. Glancing over her shoulder, Sylva watched Zeke’s sister enter the kitchen. “He shot that robo-plane out of the sky. Grant is with the crew goin’ to retrieve it.”

Zeke kept hold of the joystick and maintained his watch. “Yep, Van, you talk to ‘em. I’ll keep everything eyeballed.” After changing their course so they wouldn’t interfere with the posse, Van answered the hail. Zeke listened to the back and forth while he scrutinized the two men. Obviously in superb condition, and likely trained agents of some kind, they raced for an isolated stack of large rocks. Though, with the damage done to the barn’s super-strong roof, Zeke had to wonder how protected they were from the dart-like missiles. Still, they dived between the giant slabs. “Hell.” Zeke fired.

Synchronicity Alert: Talbot’s Peak, Montana is the name of the town where the Guts and Butts Gazette is located, the serial flash story running at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS. So, it was a bit odd to hear the name, David Talbot.

Fascinating program on Coast to Coast am ~ nighttime radio ~ featuring David Talbot, the author of DEVIL DOG, about General Smedley Butler, who said: War is a racket and wrote the 1935 book, WAR IS A RACKET.

Pulp History

Date: 12-04-10
Host: Ian Punnett
Guests: David Talbot

Ian Punnett was joined by Salon.com founder David Talbot for a discussion on a new series of illustrated Pulp History books that he helped co-create. Talbot said the books present a "raw history" of events that most Americans have never heard about. Talbot's entry in the series, Devil Dog, reveals the amazing true story of General Smedley Darlington Butler, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history.

Butler joined the armed forces at sixteen and fought in numerous conflicts. A turning point in his life occurred during World War I, when he witnessed the "industrial level carnage" of that war and the government's abandonment of returning veterans, Talbot explained. Butler became radicalized after that and devoted the rest of his life to peace and veteran's rights, he added. According to Talbot, Butler was asked to lead an army of 500,000 armed veterans to Washington, DC to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Instead, he turned whistleblower and appeared before Congress to expose the plot, Talbot said.

Authoress news and mews ~

WARNING FOR AUTHORS ~ Oh darling KitKat authors and aspiring authors, be as careful as can when hitching your precious to books to a particular publisher. And DO NOT give any publisher the right to print your books unless they are actually in the business of offering print books to readers, and have provided in the contract an approximate date for print publication. This applies to either traditional publishing or POD [print on demand].

And... on the authorly front, there appears to be somewhat of a backlash, by authors, against having to write only *one* character’s POV per scene, chapter, or whatever... some of the top romance authors like Rosemary Rodgers and Nora Roberts have successfully written ‘head hopping’ books for decades.

Sultry Sunday- Dr. Grace excerpt
by Dawne Prochilo

My newest WIP is called Dr. Grace (tentative- till I can come up with a better title) is about a call-in sex therapist who deals with people's sexual issues. On a personal note, her and her husband experiment with all the ideas she shares with her fans and callers. From positions to locations... lots of humor and sexual tension.

I absolutely love the first sentence-

“It's perfectly natural to want to touch yourself,” Dr. Grace's sultry voice filled the radio station's broadcast booth as well as millions of kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms across the country.
~~~~~~
From Astrology.com ~

On December 5, as the new Moon rises in Sagittarius -- the Archer -- it's time to take aim at your most ambitious goals and fire! A direct hit is finally within your reach.

And that's just the beginning. Later that very night, retrograde Uranus will finally go direct again, while on the 7th, fiery Mars will move into calculating Capricorn. These three events acting on top of each other are a trifecta of opportunity. You'll feel the benefit of their activities so much more when you take the initiative into your own hands.

A new Moon is always a good opportunity to start something new, and with optimistic, adventurous Sagittarius in your corner, it's time to shed any doubts or questions slowing you down. There's no time like the present to see how much you can accomplish.

Uranus is the ruler of out-of-the-box thinking. You've probably had some plans and ideas brewing in the background for the last couple months as Uranus took a backwards stroll in Pisces. Now, as the planet moves forward again, it urges you to do the same. It's time to stop meditating about your ideas and turn them into reality!

To help seal the deal, Mars, the planet of action, will immerse itself (and you!) in get-the-job-done-right Capricorn. Mars would encourage you to leap before you look, but Capricorn is the sign of practicality. When combined, the two work together to help you move toward your target in a forceful, yet prudent manner. You'll be more likely to achieve your goals if you're realistic about what you can accomplish.

So what does all of this mean? Well, obviously, it's time to take action! Whether you go for something big, like a career change, or just decide it's time to clear the clutter from your space so you can think more clearly, you couldn't ask for a better time to get the job done.

Just remember that if you make your move on these three particular days, it's not just your goals you can reach -- it could be your dreams!
~~~
The Moon ~

We've all had days in when we've awoken grumpy, only to find ourselves cheer up for no apparent reason later on; and of course, the opposite has surely also occurred. There are also those strange days when we have just a couple hours of strong emotion, only to feel it fade away just as quickly as it appeared. This is not a figment of your imagination; it's the Moon at work. The Moon moves quickly through the signs and past other planets wreaking havoc, but also provides plenty of chances for joy and opportunity.

Sylva stared down at her feet. “I forgot about being barefoot.” Ginger’s hearty laugh had her swinging her gaze toward her. “Plenty of foot warmers downstairs. No one round here can tolerate havin’ cold feet. Come on, honey.” In a motherly fashion, Ginger twined their arms together. “I hear from Zeke you’re partial to hot chocolate.” Sylva figured Zeke and his father must be okay, or his mother wouldn’t be this calm. Still, his family was used to coping with this kind of taking-action lifestyle.“I do love hot chocolate. What happened?” Sylva asked as they moved down the stairway.

Zeke felt his gut instincts alert on their enemy. “Right over that next ridge.” He pointed, then picked up the zoom lens. “Yup, got something on screen. Whoever the yellow bellies are, they’re hauling ass away from us, traveling on the road toward Vernon’s Peak.” Van streaked them after the varmints that were most likely waitin’ on the return of the robo-plane. “Was there spyin’ equipment detected?” Zeke asked. “Nope. Another dart missile was detected.” Van descended fast as the robo-plane slowed and banked toward them. Lowering the lens fast, Zeke grabbed the joystick, locked onto the robo-plane, and fired.

Shapeshifter Bios, Cowboy Poetry and the Celtic Serpent

Saturday into Sunday purrs, my most adored holiday-adorable Felines... blustery, sweeping cold winds over the tame prairie today... the kind of cold that cuts to the bone... late this afternoon, moi heard the hunting yips and barks of a coyote pack... they sounded like they were in the far end of western pasture... eerie, chilling, yet fascinating... and predators are so necessary for a healthy eco balance.

Shapeshifter Bios, Cowboy Poetry and the Celtic Serpent ~ What a wacky, intense, all-over-the-map author day... first working on White Fang Kent, Dante and Pasha’s shapeshifter bio blurbs [see below for an example]... while listening to a radio show about the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada... yeeee-hawww! Did this Big Cat writer ever get lots of dang good stuff for her next Three Star Republic of Texas book... did you know that stamped saddles last longer than smooth-leather saddles? ...oooh, yes, the Kougaress love those singing, hard-riding cowboys! ...and then, while working on the next chapter of Kandy and Her Hellhounds, moi needed to check out the Celtic symbol: the serpent swallowing its own tail... so, searching the internet, she discovered a small bonanza of info that could be used in several of her other stories and her on-going Flash stories... like the New Bull in Town... a stag shifter story...and, because Seneca, the heroine in STALLION OF ASH AND FLAME, is a descendant of the goddess, Epona... the Celtic horse symbol info was useful, just in case the Kougar gets to continue Seneca and Trail’s love story.

“Hello. Will I what? Collect call from who?” Lamar’s sleepy voice grated Danny’s already frazzled nerves two strings short of fried.

Sylva shoved down her fluttery apprehension, opening the door. Zeke’s mother gazed at her with concern, a small smile hovering on her lips. “Sylva, honey, why don’t you come on downstairs. We’ll have some tea by the hearth, and chat. The men are just fine. Your Zeke is chasin’... well, let me explain downstairs.” In a quandary about whether to try sleeping and psi-look for Zeke, or... “Okay, let me change.” Sylva began to turn away. “No, you’re just fine. You’re covered. That’s all that matters, dear.” Yielding, Sylva stepped beyond the door, then closed it. “You said Zeke is okay?”

Zeke jumped aboard the Speeder while Van leaped into the pilot’s chair. In moments, they were airborne and jetting after the small robo plane. Zeke scanned the sky periodically glancing at the activated screen that showed the miniature aircraft’s flight path. “Disturbin’ that giant robo mosquito made it through our defenses,” Van drawled, as he expertly increased their speed. “Yep, Dad will make damn certain that don’t occur again.” Zeke eagle-eyed the far distance. “Settin’ the beam. Almost able to get a lock,” Van reported. “Hold off on the lock. Could scare the sidewinders away. Or give ‘em a target.”
