Happy Halloweek, dangerously sexy and fabulously flirty Felines... ooooh, has it ever been a perfect Halloween type of day on the tame prairie... with the strong blustery winds, the leaves tumbling and whirling all about, the overcast sky, the clouds hanging low and heavy with moisture... a nasty severe storm with sixty mile per hour winds just passed north of the Kougaress’s lair... and, so far, thank you, to the Divine and the weather deities, no real damage, just high velocity winds... o many purrs of thanks! ~~~
Are you dangerously sexy and fabulously flirty? This Big Cat saw this phrase used for an ad... and, no, she didn’t bother to find out what was being advertised... but, what a fab beginning or theme for an erotic romance novel... use it at your own discretion, writers... yes, moi is planning to... as in... “Dangerously sexy. And she doesn’t know it,” he muttered. He watched his Mage’s daughter sway across the garden room and move out onto the large patio, lavishly decorated for tonight’s corporate shindig. Equal parts ethereal angel and seductive witch, she had been convinced to remain a virgin, and had little experience with men. Now, it appeared as if he would have to step in and protect her since her father remained locked in a meeting with the Mages from every region of their world. Following after her, he heard her ask, “How do I become as fabulously flirty as you?” Quickening his pace, he watched his ex-lover smile fondly. Slipping her fingers over her string of pale indigo pearls, she crooned, “Watch and learn. Watch and learn tonight.” Knowing his ex truly did favor ‘the virgin’ as he thought of her, he knew she was in no danger of being led astray. No, the danger came from the powerful men arriving, the ones who sought either a bride or a virgin lover. ~~~~~~

Featured at BRIGIT’S WORLD ~ brigitsworld.blogspot.com ~ Can Myths and Legends Be Translated to Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy Fiction?BySapphire PhelanWith paranormal romance and urban fantasy so popular these days, the question is, can a writer take any myth or legend and revision it for a modern urban fantasy or paranormal romance storyline? Yes, it can be done. It has been said that there are only seven or eight storylines out there. So it’s up to the author to make their story different enough to take notice. ~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues... Part 666 ~ Sylva clung to Zeke’s neck and let her head rest on his shoulder. She was suddenly so weary she didn’t notice the room’s furnishings, except for glimpses. Her eyes wanted to shut and not open. After placing her on a bed, one that felt really comfy, her cowboy husband immediately slipped off her moccasins. Sylva cooperated as he undressed her. “Oh, I just can’t keep my eyes open.” Lifting her briefly, Zeke flipped the covers down, then eased her beneath them. “I wish,” she began, “I wish we could...I want to...make love. More, I want to make wild passion.” Zeke brushed his woman’s hair from her cheek, then stroked her face. Out like a light, he thought. Still, she seemed to be peaceful, her breathing even and strong. He arranged the covers over her, then lightly kissed her cheek. Rising reluctantly, he stared at the sheer loveliness of his bride’s face, before going in search of his healing candles. If he could help her sleep, only sleep, not venture off into some other dimension or float out of body, Zeke figured that would be best. Rooting around in his large storage closet, he heard his mother’s footsteps. “In here.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 665 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Boo-howls, my slinky sexy KitKats... less than a week a way... Halloween... All Hallows Eve... the time of Samhain... yep, the Kougaress is thinking about dusting off her mostly unused broomstick and taking to the skies, once again. Nothing like a flight through the heavens while the veil is thin. Nothing like swooping low over an inebriated group of adult-costumed humans.... hehehe... and watching them flee or stumble in fright... oh, oops! Watch out for that light pole... yowls, missed by a witchy whisker and tail... ~~~
Big Cat Commentary ~ Oh, my beloved Felines, the stresses of living in this world are showing themselves at jet speed. No surprise and here’s a bit of evidence. Last night as moi listened to nighttime radio, a host she’s listened to for, at least, twelve years now, went from happy dude to striking viper in a split second [not his usual style], simply because a caller, who was ‘not’ confrontational, brought up the topic of an impending civil war. Heck, if a mainline magazine can bring up the possibility [Google Search: Time Magazine predicts Federal Reserve causing next Civil War?? - By Andrew Zarowny Will the Federal Reserve cause the next Civil war in America? Time Magazine seems to think it's a possibility.] why can’t a caller discuss it as a possibility? And, after all, the Revolutionary War began with less provocation than what is currently happening to all of us. Is it so surprising that human beings want freedom? And that they’re willing to fight for it? ~~~~~~
2:12 am... 10:10 pm... the Kougar is penning Volcano's Angelic Forecast... ~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~ JUST INTERESTING ~ this posted lineup for names other than your birth name.Alias, pen name, AKA, anonym, assumed name, handle*, moniker, nickname, nom de guerre, nom de plume, pen name, pseudonym, stage name, summer name (ahhh, this is interesting...) In a way it’s similar to fantasy costuming. Yes, you can use another name as a disguise, but often pen names, etc. represent an aspect of the individual they want to express, even feel deeply compelled to express. ~~~

They parted slightly and she slithered out of her nylons. His lips were on hers immediately. He steered her backwards to the bed. When the back of her knees touched the bedspread he eased her down. She hiked up her skirt to her hips and scooted back on the bed to allow him room to stretch out his tall frame.~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues... Part 665 ~Sylva trembled inside, not the good impassioned type of trembling. No, she began quaking as if she was about to fall apart. She knew why. She’d come to the end of her endurance. Maybe, because she could now rest, everything came tumbling down inside her. In the past, she’d known when she needed to retreat from the world, and had usually managed to escape, and go within. “She’s looking pale, son, take your bride upstairs and tend to her.” Ginger’s voice penetrated. Zeke’s strong arm wrapped around her tightly. “This way, darlin’ Sylva.” Her feet moved and her body cooperated. Zeke carefully escorted his woman up the stairway, and toward his suite of rooms. Ushering her within, he released her long enough to shut the door. With concern gnawing at him like a beaver felling a tree, he crooned, “Darlin’.” She gazed at him, her eyes unfocused. “Yeah, I think I’m in zombie mode.” Zeke cupped her chin, scrutinizing her eyes, her pallor. “I’m all done in,” she whispered. “If you could undress me, handsome, then pull the covers back... I need to crash.” Zeke frowned. “Crash?” She wanly smiled. “Sleep like the dead.” Zeke swooped her into his arms. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 664 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Thanks to Shara Lanel for this witch-magnificent pic... Sun in Scorpio yowls, my gorgeous and Halloween-alluring Kittens... yep, we have entered the mysterious and subterranean zone of Scorpio... time to prepare your lair for winter and get comfortable... oh, KitKats... the sunset was blazing-splendid... swathes of intense spectacular color covered the western sky on the tame prairie... earlier, the Kougaress got caught in a short rainstorm... what is this? Two days in a row, the only time it rains, moi gets it... ~shrug~~~~
A Cauldron of Research ~ good lord and lady!!! What a wacky weird day of research... from Spock to Vulcan, the god of fire and volcanoes... to the episode of Star Trek where Spock goes insane with the need to mate... to looking up what his wife was wearing [she rejects him] during that episode... to Remington Steele to find out the name of the lead woman character, Laura Holt, btw... and all because the Kougar’s heroine is hungry and depleted, and in need of good nutrition... okay, Kandy, Zol and Zin are traveling from Flagstaff, Arizona... not much magick allowed for several reasons... and none of them are dressed to dine... Kandy is only wearing a pale blue t-shirt... if this Big Cat author explains why, it will be a spoiler for the story... anyway, it’s Halloween day... so, pumpkin pies, apple orchards... a Fall festival... the Kougar researched all sorts of related terms and found a wealth of info, none of it useful for her story, however... and, in fact, it could be included in another story about Seneca and Trail, her heroine and hero in STALLION OF ASH AND FLAME... did you know there are all sorts of fantastic organic orchards and farms, plus Fall Festival fun places near Wilcox, Arizona? Moi had to quit reading because her eyes began to hurt, and she got dizzy... anyway, here’s one simple recipe she found:Apple Cider Syrup1C. sugar2 T. cornstarch1/2 tsp. cinnamon1/4 tsp. nutmeg2 C. Apple Annie’s cider2 T. lemon juice1/4 C. butterCombine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Add cider and lemon juice; stir well. Cook over medium heat until think; boil for 1 minute. Add butter, stirring syrup until butter melts. Serve hot over pancakes.~~~~~~

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~Driving to Work Under A Full Moonby SolaraFrom my kitchen window, I can watch the moon rise on one side of the house and watch the sunset from the library/den window on the front of the house. Odd feeling happened this morning as I opened the garage door and headed out to the car. I looked out over the neighbor's house that sits diagonally across the street.Full Moon DelightPatches of frost crested the few tufts of uncut grass sticking out across the field. Crystalline beauty danced as flickers of car headlights flashed across them and faded as they passed. Noise rushed by and silence regained its upper hand.James waited in the shadows, watching and yearning. Would she come again? Sit and listen to his lonely howl, smiling as though she understood him. Her odor graced his palate with each breath, making him wonder why her. What made her different?~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 664 ~Sylva shook her hair back, then smiled at her cowboy husband as he handed her a half glass of foamy milk. “Raw, darlin’. Fresh this mornin’.” He took a healthy swig while she took a sip. Remembering a time when she’d tasted raw milk before, at an exclusive, bed and breakfast restaurant a friend had treated her to, Sylva didn’t hesitate. “Even better,” she murmured, then drained the glass. Somewhat embarrassed by chug-a-lugging it down, she peered at him. “Guess I was thirsty.” After drinking his milk with gusto, he took her glass. “Nope, you’re just nutritionally deprived, sweet darlin’.”Zeke debated whether to offer his bride more food, since she needed the nutrients, or simply put them both to bed. He surely needed rest and he knew she did. Placing the glasses in one hand, he offered his arm. “Might be time to get some shut eye. We both require some recuperatin’ time.” Giving him a little nod, she rose and took his arm. He moved them toward the side table and set the glasses down. “I’ll get the hang of how things work around here.” His Sylva stroked his forearm affectionately and with passion. “No rush, darlin’ mine.”~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 663 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

May your most romantic dreams come true...A Cauldron of kisses from the Kougar...
Halloween-arriving yowls, my beautiful and sleek-fierce Felines...autumn-warm and a touch of wind and rain on the tame prairie today... awhirl, yes, that is the Kougaress, always spinning through her writerly biz day.A Touch of Fantasy Costuming... ooooh, this Big Cat adores dressing up for Halloween, or dressing up for any party occasion, in period/historical and fantasy costumes, according to her whim and pleasure. Anything from a black cat girl to a gypsy fortune teller to a Renn Faire fairy princess to a Siren sexpot... to... purrs, the possibilities are endless, and endlessly fun... and truthfully wearing the costumes moi designed often felt more real to her than the reality of this world... because our culture is much too restrictive, dull and gray and, overall, just no fun.She used to wonder why this was true and chafed against the senseless oppression and suppression she experienced daily... however, these days, she wonders no more. The answer has become nearly crystal clear as to why many of us crave fantasy costuming.The why of it... let’s explain it this way... during the medieval period, peasants who were tall and strong and alpha, were killed off... thereby making it easier for those who ruled to continue ruling [as this Big Cat has mentioned before]... they literally killed off the competition and the gene pool. On purpose.A ‘form’ of that practice continues into these times, and is evilly playing out. There are those who know how to psychologically cut us down to size... to cut WHO WE ARE down to peasant size.Thus, our souls and spirits have been so deprived of simply being themselves, their true selves, the Kougaress figures this is one reason why there is so much fantasy play and costuming [other than the purely fun factor]... just for a time we get to experience the ‘possibility’ that we are, that we were meant to be.Roars, consider comicon and all the other dress-up fantasy conventions... heck, look at Disneyland and Disney World, as more simple examples. In fact, everything around us is sheer fantasy... fashion, cars, TV and the movies, Gaming, the internet itself, and on and on. With our true natures thwarted, humanity seeks any avenue for the expression of their inner self... and All Hallows Eve offers a respite, a relief for the soul and spirit, a chance to know more about yourself... your inner cravings. Costumes can tell us who we really are, that is, if we ran free in this world. In our precious world.So, what is your fave costume, or your favorites? What is your whim and pleasure this year? Given the placement of the stars at this time, your costume choice could reveal you to yourself in profound ways.Quoted from Astrology.com Surprisingly enough the Sabian Symbol for the degree of the Full Moon is about self-discovery and finding your place in the cosmic order. It is about discovering your special gift and your truest and highest self and living life to your fullest.And, what does the Kougaress want to be this year? Here’s comment she made on the current blog entry at THE PINK BLOG [for more info see below].Ooooh, this year's costume... hmmm... I think a witch seductress in a long black velvet gown, adorned by glimmering gold and silver stars and crescent moons... with black spiderweb gloves encrusted with tiny rhinestones... and dangly, very long earrings that are glittery to the max.Oh, and my cinnamon brownies were always a hit, but it was a recipe I threw together.Congrats, Ladies, on your anthologies and cauldron fulls of sales.~~~~~~

Featured at HAPPILY EVER AFTER ~ In the mood for a sweet spunky Regency?PUMPKINNAPPER - Regency Halloween Comedy and CONTESTby Linda BancheHalloween is coming!Let me tell you a tale of a love triangle: man, woman and goose. Join the fun as Henry the man and Henry the goose spar over heroine Emily's affections while they try to capture the foul (or is it fowl?) pumpkin thieves.BLURB:Pumpkin thieves, a youthful love rekindled and a jealous goose. Oh my!Last night someone tried to steal the widowed Mrs. Emily Metcalfe's pumpkins. She's certain the culprit is her old childhood nemesis and the secret love of her youth, Henry, nicknamed Hank, whom she hasn't seen in ten years.Henry, Baron Grey, who's never forgotten the girl he loved but couldn't pursue so long ago, decides to catch Emily's would-be thief. Even after she reveals his childhood nickname--the one he would rather forget. And even after her jealous pet goose bites him in an embarrassing place.Oh, the things a man does for love.EXCERPT:"Emily, even with Henry, formidable as he is--" Hank glared at the goose. The goose glared back "--you need protection. I will send over some footmen to guard the place.""No. Turnip Cottage belongs to Charlotte's husband. What will the townspeople think, with Lord Grey's servants about my house?"Her refusal increased his fury. The sight of her hand on that damned goose's head didn't improve his mood, either. He balled his fists as his patience thinned and something else thickened. "I'll find you a guard dog. You must have some protection out here all alone.""But I have Henry." She patted the goose's head and the bird snuggled into her hand. Again.Heat flooded Hank, part desire for Emily's touch, and part desire to murder that damned goose, who was where he wanted to be. His insides groaned. "Very well, then, you leave me no choice. I will help you catch the culprits.""But--"He changed his voice to the voice that either melted a woman or earned him a slap in the face. "Who knows, mayhap we would enjoy ourselves as I lie in wait with you." I would love to lie with you.Her eyes widened. Had she understood the innuendo?"I cannot stay alone with you, and you know it," she said, her voice severe."You are a widow in your own home and no one will see. I will make sure of it.""No." She marched back into her cottage and slammed the door. Henry smirked and waddled away.Hank grinned. He would be back, whether she liked it or not.CONTEST: Chance to win a PDF copy of PUMPKINNAPPER!

Featured at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY ~Flirty Friday- The 3 T's of Sextingby Dawne ProchiloI'm fairly new to texting and my husband is even newer. Since I first started texting last year I've learned a few tricks of the so-called trade. It's not only an easy way to stay in touch- it's a GREAT way to reach out and touch someone.~~~~~~
From Astrology.com ~On Friday evening, October 22, a glittering Full Moon in Aries will grace the Northern American skies. Known as the Hunter's Moon, the Full Moon will take place at 1:36 AM Universal Time on Saturday morning and in the daylight hours in Asia. Interestingly enough, this is also the second Full Moon in Aries, following the Full Moon of September 23.Full Moons always come fourteen days after the New Moon, completing the cycle of what was started around that time to come to fruition. This is a time for reflection to see what we have accomplished in the last two weeks. The Full Moon also signals the time for us to move forward with new goals and sometimes a totally new perspective.The current configuration of the cosmos with the Sun moving into Scorpio, known for its relentless determination, on the early hours of October 23, will definitely bring about a change of mood which may be apparent. The Sun joins a powerful Mars in Scorpio, as well as a lucky, charming and seductive Venus also in Scorpio, so if there is a will to do something -- you will definitely find a way. A benevolent Mars and Uranus trine two days after the full Moon could also signal a time for new and exciting opportunities -- which may have been unexpected.Surprisingly enough the Sabian Symbol for the degree of the Full Moon is about self-discovery and finding your place in the cosmic order. It is about discovering your special gift and your truest and highest self and living life to your fullest.~~~~~~

Don’t get me wrong, darlin’, we have our spats and arguments.” She nodded, then she yawned. It caught her unawares. “Guess, I’m tireder than I thought.” Taking her plate off her lap, her cowboy rose, gave her a grin and pivoted around. As she stretched, Sylva ‘enjoyed’ the rear view. God, he was just damn sexy. Sexy as all git out. Too sexy for what she’d call his dress jeans.Zeke set their plates on his mother’s designated side table. Before he swung around, he snuck a peek at his bride. She lowered her arms from performing a stretch. He saw her weariness in every line of her beautiful body. Obvious as what was in plain sight, though, her gaze remained fastened on him, like a mare who’d decided on her stallion. He’d felt it as he walked across the room. He couldn’t have contained his grin even if he’d wanted to. His sister flicked him a knowing glance, then resumed flirting with her husband, teasing him with a biscuit.~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 662 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

The first is of a 'mothership'-- huge in size, it would have a psychological impact as it hovered over cities. ~ millennium-ark.net/Podcast/101020.C2C/101020.C2C.html ~ Evening purrs, my lissome and lucky Felines, oooh release the fire! Release the Kougaress during this Full Moon in Aries. Some say it’s the Harvest Moon, others the Hunter Moon... or, it’s time for this Big Cat shift into the Huntress and seek out the new and discard the old... three days ago, the moon blazed orange as a pumpkin on the early morning horizon... a couple of days ago, the moon luminesced, a corn yellow color... the harvest is coming to a close... it’s time to celebrate with bonfires and enjoy the crisp cool nights before the dark cold of winter. ~~~
Oh, those invisible jets... this afternoon, the Kougaress was outside for a short time... the day was absolutely lovely... and she’d just cleaned off the top of her makeshift container for mail order packages... on her return she ran over what sounded like a black walnut... however the trees didn’t produce much this year... still, moi wanted to know because why have an unexpected flat tire... anyway, she heard the sound of a jet and followed it with her gaze... a military jet flew at low altitude due south, and not all that fast... however, the sound of the engines indicated they were nuclear powered... anyhoo, moments later, there was the sound of another jet, the same kind of jet, or similar... despite a relatively clear blue sky, nope, it could not be seen... and it was traveling westward... then, another jet flying west... and again, it could not be seen... when it should have been visible... yeah, tell this Big Cat that type of tech doesn’t exist. Sure-meow, she’ll believe you. And not her own eyes. ~~~
Yowls of commentary... this Big Cat doesn’t understand the hatred humanity seems to have for itself. In these time so-called authorities demand that folks in wheelchairs get up and walk, demand they follow orders... it doesn’t matter if the individual in the wheelchair CAN’T stand up... and, it doesn’t matter if that individual attempts to explain their health circumstance... they get tazered, they get dumped out... some of these folks are seriously injured, or they are murdered by this horrific abuse. THESE are not isolated examples. It’s happening more and more everyday. And, this is only an example, a microcosm for how humanity is currently treating itself. It’s like chopping the legs off a cow and then demanding the poor thing stand up. We’re all against animal cruelty. Why aren’t we against human cruelty? Really, this Big Cat does not understand. She DOES NOT understand these times at all, in that regard. ~~~~~~
2:12 am... 3.33 am... 4:44 am... 12:12 am... 2:12 pm... 12:12 am... WOW! The next few days must be turning points as far as the year, 2012, goes... there are some nasty, nasty trends happening, put into place by ‘those’ in high level positions who care nothing for humanity, who care nothing about you. ~~~~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues... Part 662 ~Sylva made a show out of gradually tasting the nummy salad. “Mmm-mmm, that is so good.” Zeke’s undivided attention was working its magic on her, no doubt. After he took a large bite, obviously savoring, Sylva ate a bread stick that had a rich yeasty flavor. “You are so spoiling me. And, I so hope you continue. No pressure,” she added, then smiled. When had she ever felt this good? Except as a kid when she’d run the neighborhood, and simply lived. The glint in her cowboy’s eyes reassured her that he enjoyed her as much as she enjoyed him. Zeke held out another spoon of the salad. His Sylva’s eyes gleamed as she flirtatiously took the bite. He hadn’t realized it, but in the back of his mind, he’d been concerned she wouldn’t know how to handle his family, being in their presence this way. He surely was going to keep encouraging his woman. He felt all too good surrounded by his loved ones and being with his bride. As he chewed on a thick strip of bacon, Zeke watched her glance around. “There’s such a big difference being here... and... well... everyone seems to truly enjoy each other.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 661 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

May your most romantic dreams come true... Moonfire kisses from the Kougar...
Witching hour raorrrs, my fab-sexy, moon-bathing Big Cats... earlier this afternoon the nearly full moon hung high in the eastern sky... the Kougaress always adores seeing the moon during the day... she’s gorgeously mystical and ephemeral... ~~~
Stark raving mad... the Kougaress had that phrase pop into her head... she hasn’t heard that spoken for awhile... maybe she just doesn’t travel in those circles anymore... be that as it may... isn’t that a perfect phrase for these times? And, for what most likely lies ahead? Okay, after an internet search... there was a short-lived TV show and a movie with that title... but here’s the best entry on the front page ~ stark. raving. mad. mommy.Just click on the badge above, and scroll down to "stark. raving. mad. mommy." Then click "I like this blogger." You like me, you really like me! ...~ starkravingmadmommy.com ~ ~~~
Erotic sixth sense... the Kougaress saw this phrase today... how utterly purrrfect! And, she must use it... of course, it works for her current WIP... so, what is your erotic sixth sense? ~~~
Soul-killing... the Kougaress heard this phrase today used in connection with the loss of our freedoms... and that is exactly how she felt growing up whenever she was oppressed and suppressed. Imagine trying to live in a world without freedom... every moment would be soul-killing to the max. ~~~
Oh, those cute synchronicities... as the Kougar typed her heroine’s name, Kandace, a woman named Candy called into Coast to Coast am, nighttime internet radio... and today, as a Candace was a caller on a daytime internet radio show. Yes, this Big Cat author will take that as a signal from the universe to continue penning. ~~~
4:44 am... 4:44 pm... 12:12 am... are the angels gathering for 2012? Or, do Sedona and Volcano want more the Kougar’s writing time? Or... ~~~~~~

Once he’d explained what it was, she’d been even more willing to eat it. “Does your mom have other family favorites she grows?” Zeke finished his last bites of fried potatoes before answering. “Mom has several other favorites. We all do. Though, we don’t spend as much time in the garden and greenhouse. Several of our ranch families garden with her. It’s like a community. You should see all the varieties of pepper. And,” Zeke held up a spoon loaded with a purple mush, “the potatoes.” Zeke grinned at his woman’s curious, but cautious expression. “Purple potato,” he explained. “Try it.” His Sylva didn’t hesitate, wrapping her sweet sexy mouth around his offering. As she slowly chewed, her eyelids closed pleasurably. He watched her relish the flavor. Damn, it was good to see her enjoy. “I’ll probably be saying it forever. You’ve got the best food here.” She smiled. “Anything else you want me to try, handsome cowboy?” Zeke ignored the heat-seeking missile his loins sent to his cock. Instead, he spooned a small portion of his mother’s creamy carrot salad and held it out to her. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 660 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

May your most romantic dreams come true... Witching Hour Raorrrs and kisses from the Kougar...
After the Witching Hour meows, my magickal and memorable KitKats... the moon is nearing full and she is gorgeous, especially with a planet companion and gauzy clouds circling her... this Big Cat is thinking Jupiter is beside her... but, she didn’t do a search... Witchy Woman... she’s got the moon in her eyes... the Kougaress just heard that wonderfully evocative Eagles song... it’s so like her current WIP, Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds... and, yes, progress is being made. So far, the witchy story is at about 45,000. There is simply something so marvelous and feminine-powerful about witches, or the archetype of a witch, their true herstory, their connection to Mother Earth and her elements, their affinity with animals and plants, their ability to survive generation after generation and age after age, despite the almost constant persecution. Their ability to help with healing is legendary. One way their strength has been demonstrated is by the emergence of the Wiccan religion in this Big Cat’s lifetime. ~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 660 ~Sylva savored the buttery cornbread muffin. Zeke had fed her the first bite. They’d romantically gazed into each other’s eyes, then he’d filled their plates. Now they sat, their knees practically touching, and ate with slow gusto, their plates balanced on their laps. The family hubbub around Sylva felt comforting, as well as disconcerting. Laughter and the sounds of eating lifted her soul. Yet, she remained a stranger in a strange land. It would take time, she kept reminding herself. And, so far, it was all good. “Try this, darlin’.” Zeke held up a strip of something Sylva couldn’t identify. Zeke watched his woman’s eyes cloud with uncertainty. “What is it?” He grinned teasingly. “Give it a try. Just a nibble. One tiny nibble.” His Sylva huffed a breath. “If it doesn’t taste good,” she warned, “or if it’s something icky.” Zeke wiggled the noodle-like piece. “Icky?” She gave him a brief scowl. “Disgusting.” Still, she slowly leaned forward and daintily took his offering. “You’re makin’ me feel darn guilty, my woman.” His Sylva’s expression was pained before she got a full taste of their family’s favorite squash. His mother kept it growing year round. “Oh, yummy. Some kind of vegetable.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 659 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Late Monday into Tuesday meows, my rolling and rambunctiously sensual Big Kittens... a strange weather day that threatened a storm, but only produced some nice rain for a short time... what an authorly busy day, but also a devilishly fun day, much of it devoted to Halloween and the paranormal... yowsa, there’s so much crammed into the flying-by days, this Big Cat loses track... However, when she was penning away on Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds... like the touch of a wand this synchronicity occurred. Nick Redfern was on Coast to Coast am, nighttime radio. He wrote Lair of the Beasts: Beware of the Devil Dogs ~ Hounds of Hell. Even though, he talked about his most recent book, he’s a prolific author, still, hellhounds are hellhounds, except when they’re different breeds. ~~~

Weekly Angelic Forecast from VolcanoStraight from the Carnal Cherub himself...Angelic Forecast ~ #111The following week, and weeks, will highlight ‘wrongs and wrongdoings’ that have never been seen in the light of day before. Simultaneously, those who are truly good of heart will be highlighted. GOOD will be showcased. The challenge is to know which is which, and what is really what. Discernment is your friend. That ‘knowing’ in your gut is your best ally. Also, this week will not only race by like an Olympic sprinter, but seek the highest mountaintop, then descend down into the lowest valley. To keep some balance go with the flow. Go with the ride. But, know, it is only a ride and look for the opportunities that will be available. The more unusual the opportunity, the more likely it is to be your right opportunity. *Fraud* is the word for this week. The massive level of fraud perpetrated against Americans will be exposed more and more. And from surprising sources. The time has come to trust those who are ‘truly’ trustworthy. What has been deemed ‘too big to fail’ is not only failing, it is sinking like the Titanic and perpetrating every fraud on the way down. Beware. Prepare. And care about others.

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Dragons Ahead... Hopping on the Bandwagon by Pat CunninghamThe theme of the month appears to be Dragon Scales, so I’m adding my take to the pile. Enjoy.****The hairs along Kendra’s forearms prickled when the man stalked into her shop, and not just because he was the most attractive male she’d seen in a long time. That strong, angular face had a scowl on it, which tainted its handsomeness. Normally she didn’t go in for the shaved-head look, but she found the flame tattoos that decorated his skull intriguing. Her disquiet stemmed from the way he walked. It took her a moment to put her finger on it. He moved the way a cobra would if it had legs. The way the Serpent would have moved through Eden, before God consigned him to his belly. And he was headed straight for the counter. AND! The Kougar is penning a dragon shifter scene for her blogging day at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS, Tuesday, the 19th. Here’s the opening ~ Dusk claimed the sky as if silver droplets infused the air. Zrykur commanded the color from his scales, and knew he all but disappeared. Even the super-tech crowd ensconced in their underground compounds couldn’t detect his presence. Dragons were rarely captured and dissected, given their scales redirected beams, from microwave to laser. ~~~

God, she hoped her instincts, and her intuition, were right. “How about you two go chow down. I made certain all of my husband’s and Zeke’s favorite dishes were prepared. That is, except for the walnut salad. Those are in scarce supply.” Ginger paused, bestowing a motherly smile on Zeke. “We have all the time in the world to get to know one another.” Ginger let go of Sylva’s hand as Nevada squeezed her waist with one arm, and pulled her tight against him. Zeke claimed his Sylva’s shoulders once again. “Besides,” his dad growled, “I’m feeling downright possessive of my wife.” Bending down, he planted a long kiss on her cheek. “Walnut salad is the last thang on my mind, sweetmeat.” Zeke watched his dad steer his mom toward the beef brisket before he swung his bride before him. They smiled at each other for long golden moments. “Anything yer hankerin’ for in particular?” he asked. “We’ll start there, darlin’.” After giving him a sassy grin, she murmured, “Hankerin’?” A glint mischief entered her sky-blue eyes. “Oh, yeah.

May your most romantic dreams come true... Notsonormal Halloween Party kisses from the Kougar...
Evening purrs, my sexy-witch Big Cats... warm on the tame prairie after a chilly night... it is Fall-beautiful... not so much the leaves, but just the way the land looks, more golden and resting... when the Kougaress journeyed down to her mailbox, she noticed the neighbor’s new half-gown calves, who were lazing about serenely... there were several different breeds and one of them looked like a longhorn because of the adorable horns and the shape of his body as well as his coat coloring.Today, since the Kougar’s witch heroine is nicknamed, Kandy Apple, she became curious about the origins of the Candy Apple, the ones that are coated with red cinnamon candy... although, she loves Caramel Apples as well. Here’s some info: According to the Newark Evening News 1964:William W. Kolb invented the red candy apple. Kolb, a veteran Newark candy-maker, produced his first batch of candied apples in 1908. While experimenting in his candy shop with red cinnamon candy for the Christmas trade, he dipped some apples into the mixture and put them in the windows for display. He sold the whole first batch for 5 cents each and later sold thousands yearly. Soon candied apples were being sold along the Jersey Shore, at the circus and in candy shops across the country, according to the Newark News in 1948.~~~
Since artificial flavoring is used in Red Hot candies, moi went in search of natural ingredients for making the candy coating. It finally dawned on her after finding a recipe that uses Cinnamon oil, the food grade oil found at pharmacies, that was her answer all along. She’d simply forgotten about it. Cinnamon oil is hot, whereas the powder is not as hot, not like ginger powder is hot.As a grade school kid/cub, moi occasionally got to taste cinnamon oil on a toothpick... it was good! Yeah, way back when, there was some really good stuff that, now, is considered addicting. Kids were discouraged from using the oil after awhile... why? Yes, some kids probably used it too much. But, there was no addiction this big cub saw.Heck, essential oil of cinnamon is in Thieves, an essential oil blend that kept folks protected during the Black Plague. The blend [cloves, cinnamon, lemon, eucalyptus, rosemary] from Young Living is very potent and you can certainly taste the cinnamon. At times, this Big Cat has put a couple of drops in her large bowl of hot chocolate... oh, does it taste yummier!!!~~~
To be fair about the recent NY UFOs [in case it isn’t Project Bluebeam], here’s the other side...From Coast to Coast am... UFO PREDICTIONDate: 10-15-10Host: George NooryGuests: Stan FulhamIn the first hour, ex-NORAD officer Stan Fulham talked about his prediction that a fleet of UFOs would hover over the Earth's major cities on October 13th. Fulham explained that he receives his insight from a "transcended spiritual group," which consists of "very old souls who have lived on many different planets and spiritual realms." According to him, the UFO visitation is because the Earth's environment has been polluted beyond the point of human salvation and, thus, the ETs must intervene to fix the situation. Unlike other planets, where the inhabitants were allowed to pollute their environment to the point of mass extinction, the Earth has the "greatest emotionally energy of any planet" in the universe and, therefore, was granted this special aid from off-world forces.Fulham clarified his prediction's timetable with new information that he allegedly received three weeks ago. Originally, the entities planned to appear over a plethora of major Earth cities on October 13th, 2010. They had no intention of landing or communicating with the planet, instead opting merely to make their presence known in gradually increasing appearances. This would culminate with an outright address at the United Nations in 2014 and then they would commence cleaning the environment in 2015. However, Fulham said, the ETs grew wary of causing mass panic with their original 10/13/10 plan and decided to just appear over New York City on that date. The reasons given for the choice of NYC was that it is an international city, a media stronghold, and that New Yorkers are "a blase people" who would be nonplussed by the appearance of a UFO in the sky.~~~
MORE BEYOND-STRANGE UFO HAPPENINGS ~ Qinling China! Has a UFO caused a whole town to disappear?Thursday, 14 October 2010 13:50 | Written by UfosleuthThere is a an ancient Pyramind in the Quinling region. Reports are coming out of China that an entire village/town may have disappeared after an UFO event there in the last few days. It is also being suggested that the Chinese Military has sealed off the area. Incredible as it seems the reports themselves appear genuine enough - but they are written in very broken English or Chinese and difficult to understand. Do they mean destroyed? Do they mean 'disappeared'? Just what is happening at Qinling?Some of the blog posts and message board posts contain expressions which when translated read "I have heard, yesterday at 4 am, a village in the Qinling Mountains at the end, all disappeared overnight! ... ... There are a large number of troops sealed off the scene ... ...""October 10th at ten o’clock, Xianyang many people, and they saw in the sky several unknown luminous body in constant rotation, but can not find the light source, and everyone felt very strange.Xianyang reporters into the sky to see the two circular rotating in constant light, white light has been given, and everyone said that this phenomenon has been going on for a very long time."~ planet-flipside.com/index.php/ufosalienslink/91-quinling ~~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 657 ~Sylva thoroughly brushed her hair and did what styling she could. Surprisingly, she didn’t look half bad, even with the lack makeup. There was a bloom on her cheeks, despite everything she’d been through. She even smiled at herself. Something she done less and less of in Chicago because of the bad times. Figuring it was time, Sylva straightened her shoulders and headed out the door. Zeke waited. A picture of cowboy handsome goodness, he leaned against the archway, and lazily smiled the moment she appeared. His whiskey-colored eyes glittered. Shoving off, he offered his arm with a gallant flourish.Zeke knew the impact of his woman would be big as the prairie sky. Still, he hadn’t been prepared for the way his heart thundered a beat, for the way he lunged like a stallion inside. She smiled in answer to his smile.
