From Mysterious Universe ~ Is Nicolas Cage Really a Vampire? Sep 21st in Bizarre & Modern Mysteries by Rob MorphyThe owner of the admittedly eerie photograph is an antiques dealer from Bristol, Tennessee, by the name of Jack Mord — which, in and of itself, sounds a bit creepy, like an old Mad Magazine spoof of Jack Lord that would come out around Halloween time. Regardless of his appellation, Mord claimed that he stumbled across the strange picture in back of an old photo album that was allegedly: “filled with an unusual number of Civil War death portraits.” The full article at ~ mysteriousuniverse.org/2011/09/is-nicolas-cage-really-a-vampire ~ ~~~~~~
Friday into Saturday yowls, my Kitten Kat lovelies... a gorgeous Fall day on the tame prairie... of course, the allergies are no fun... at least, the Kougaress has ways to deal with it naturally... wow, was the sunset entirely inspiring and gorgeous... from a luminous wash of tangerine to a deep neon rose pink color covered the horizon. Oh, Kittens, this Big Cat just can’t shake a sense of dread about some looming catastrophic event... already, here, in our beloved country, and around the globe, there are horrific happenings, and corruption is escalating like an ongoing avalanche... also, unspeakable evil is taking place on a mass scale... on the other paw, there are good, good things happening, and good, good folks -- and, yes, the AWAKENING is avalanching, too. ~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~ The Kougar covered a lot of authorly ground in research, and also, in working on the formatting for RED LIONESS TAMED, so her ebook can be Indie published. Still, a lot of ground to cover, however. ~~~
So, guess what the Kougar found when she was penning on her WIP, White Fang, Ace Reporter, and had to research ‘romantic jazz clubs’ ~ a cool, cool looking place she would LOVE to visit, called the Savanna Jazz Club in San Francisco ~ savannajazz.com. And... this shapeshifting synchronicity, since Dante is the name of one of the werewolf heroes in Talbot's Peak at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS. Dantes Down The Hatch - An Atlanta Jazz Club and Fondue Resturant~ dantesdownthehatch.com/dantes.html ~ A jazz club located in the heart of Buckhead in Atlanta Georgia, Dantes Down ... sense of style and timing and is dedicated to providing authentic romantic jazz. ... So, the Kougar named the romantic jazz room inside the Pleasure Club, where White Fang and his heroine, Pasha, will be dining -- prior to their passionate mating activities -- Dante’s Love Inferno. ~~~~~~
Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Hello Ranger....by Serena Shay“Excuse me…”Evelyn Louisa Lewis knew she was dreaming since the chase she was on was one she took several nights a week…she was a crazy eyed, needy cougar with a credit card between her teeth and all the best shops in San Francisco at her claw tips. It was a good dream. The humans she passed were all in awe of her. They gazed longingly at her, whispered words such as ‘sleek’ and ‘gorgeous’ behind their hands at one another and were generally jealous of her fabulousness…~~~~~~

Pic from Coast to Coast am ~ Nuclear SunsetOn May 25th, I left the house to meet up with a friend. When I turned east onto the main street out of my neighborhood, I was struck by this image in the sky. Given the state of unrest in the Middle East, and indeed here on our American soil, my first thought was 'is that a silent nuclear bomb that went off in Atlanta?' Thankfully, it was just the setting sun playing off an extremely majestic cumulous cloud. I pulled over by the Dart Bowl and snapped this shot. I saw others doing the same. Were they thinking what I was thinking? Hopefully the next mushroom cloud I see will be just that...a cloud. Pray for peace.-- Adam N.domecq.productions@ gmail.com~~~
Nighttime meows, my Springtime spunkin’ Kittens... another cool wet overcast day on the tame prairie... omy yowls, what another wacked-out, wonky whirl of a day... yeah, stuff gets done, but doesn’t... despite two downloads the Kougaress hasn’t been able to solve opening her edit file so that it works like it should. ~sighs~ Hope you are having a good Memorial Day weekend, my darlings. ~~~
Rebel Rouser ~ the song... by artist, Duane Eddy... here’s a bit of search info ~ The master of twang! Eddy had 5 Top 40 hits between 1958 and 1963, I think this track was one of the first, in 1958.~ youtube.com/watch?v=uGPG_Y-_BZI ~ Back in the good ole days, the late 50s and early 60s, so much of the music, and the lyrics, were about freedom... the freedom to travel unhindered throughout this great land of ours... the freedom to discover life as a great adventure, and your place in it... the freedom to be a rebel artist and creatively fly higher than previous generations... it was about freeing the mind, and being footloose over the road and in your life, until you decided to put down roots... The songs of that time were ‘rebel rouser’ songs, and born from a generation who yearned to roam free, in mind, body and soul. That’s gone, now. All gone... like that iconic novel title, GONE WITH THE WIND... only this could be titled, GONE IS THE WIND IN YOUR FACE.Nowadays, there are only plastic-doll pretenders on the pop-trendy scene who don’t own an effing clue what that type of freedom is all about. Truth to tell, this Big Cat didn’t fully appreciate that ‘freedom’ either. She wrongly thought freedom would grow, blossom and ripen like delicious fruit. And, it would have, if intentional social engineering and ruthless scare tactics hadn’t been used by ‘those powers that be’ who hate humanity, and hate anyone being truly free. Did you know that Charles Manson was a product of a black-gov mind control program, and had a covert-ops handler? Yeah, ole Charlie wasn’t just an evil charismatic creep who preyed on the innocent. At least, not all on his own. He was created for the job by the enemies of the people. Oh, for the freedom to travel across this gorgeous country, like it was in the good ole days... ~~~~~~

Of course, there’s an atmosphere. And, wow, a civilization, too. NASA ~ Never a Straight Answer. But, hey, they’re just following their Nazi, Operation Paperclip, roots. ~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~ BTW, Free File Opener will ‘not’ open the comment bubbles on your edits. The Kougar spent $20 to find that out. No, she’s not a happy camper right now. Okay, she’s archaic and uses Wordperfect because she doesn’t like how Word works. And, a .doc file, even if it is before .docx, that is created in Word 2007 won’t open in Wordperfect. Gee, how fun is that? So, she spent most of the day looking for solutions, and she’s not even close to tech-savvy. Now she’s attempting to download OpenOffice... yeah, on dial-up. ~lots of sighs~ ~~~
From the Kougar’s Writing Den ~ White Fang, Ace Reporter *Unedited Six Sentence* progress on the latest WIP novella... Chapter Nine ~ Dangerously FeralWhite Fang had to wonder if the catwoman sultrily stalking him a woman who made his dream woman look like Talbot Peak’s gossip columnist, Maggie had been sent by unknown enemies. Mind probing Pasha would likely be a mistake, even if he could manage to concentrate. He scented goddess blood, the same ambrosial fragrance he’d caught a whiff of in the courtroom. His overriding question, had she told Dante the truth? Given the werewolf biker was nobody’s fool, had the catwoman beguiled him with her alchemical prowess? White Fang drew her scent in deeply. ~~~

From the Kougar’s Writing Den ~ White Fang, Ace Reporter *Unedited Six Sentence* progress on the latest WIP novella... Chapter Eight ~ The Soul Feathers Lovingly, Z’Pasha cradled the white feather in her palm. She paused in her steps toward her limestone altar, made from small blocks she’d discovered at an ancient Druidic circle, not far from the Pleasure Club. Mere moments ago, the fragile-looking feather had drifted into her palm while she lounged on her divan. A sigh passed her lips, and Z’Pasha felt some measure of comfort. Even though, Larissa remained in a deep state of recovery, the Benevolent Ones of the spirit realm knew her friend’s heart. They had gifted Z’Pasha with her soul feather. ~~~

Featured at Lindsay Townsend’s THE PINK BLOG ~ A Collection of "Uncannies" by Linda Acaster Tales that make a reader pause have been the mainstay of short fiction since family groups gathered round a fire during the long dark nights of winter to hear stories embellished by the natural special effects of flickering shadows and moaning wind. When a wrong decision could mean death, maiming or starvation, these tales were teaching stories, lessons to be learned for the good of the group. ~~~
AUTHORS/ASPIRING AUTHORS ~ Note: the Kougar does not care for Harlequin as a company. However, to each his own. Harlequin Nocturne is looking to acquire bold, exciting, erotic paranormal romance short stories for its eBook program, Nocturne Cravings. These stories should be fast-paced paranormals with strong erotic fantasy and danger elements. Authors should feel comfortable exploring any and all sexual scenarios and shouldn't shy away from graphically sensual situations. In fact, the short stories should contain many erotic scenes that compel and bind the characters together. Strong, emotional characters that grab the readers imagination are also essential.We are looking for stories of vampires, shape-shifters, werewolves, psychic powers, etc. set in contemporary times. Stories should deliver a dark, highly sensual read that will entertain readers and take them from everyday life into an atmospheric, complex world filled with characters struggling with life-and-death issues. A strong alpha hero is of utmost importance—he should be powerful, mysterious and totally attractive to the heroine. While action-packed and mission-oriented, the scope of these stories should be more contained, with additional focus placed on character development and erotic situations.All stories should be capable of standing alone; all loose ends need to be tied up, and the relationship between hero and heroine should resolve itself in a satisfying manner.For published authors, this line is a great way to explore more erotic scenarios and different fantasy elements. Unpublished authors are welcome as well.Only complete manuscripts submitted electronically will be considered from unpublished authors; no partials or queries, please. Submissions should be sent as a Word-compatible attachment. Submissions should also follow standard formatting guidelines and should be double-spaced and typed in a clear, legible font on numbered pages. Author name and title should appear as a header or footer on each page.Nocturne Cravings e-mail address: nocturnebites@ harlequin.ca ~~~~~~

Late night nattering meows, my Springtime darling Pussycats... rainy for part of the day on the tame prairie, and surprisingly chilly! This has to be the coldest Spring, overall, and so far this year... than this Big Cat has known for the last decade, or so.Yep... it’s been another mind bender, head tripper of a day [as the Kougaress heard another individual say]... given everything happening around the world, and to the world... and, thus to all of us... but, remember this Big Cat loves ya, and hopes you are well and safe.~~~
Fairytale, Myth ~ It’s Alive and Well... the Kougaress adores the Walt Disney fairytales she grew up on. Gosh, if she could have she would have jumped through the movie screen into those worlds. How she wished, as a child, for that to be reality. But, nope. It wasn’t.
Also, the Kougaress has always been fascinated by what are called myths and legends from ancient and antediluvian times. These stories about the goddesses and gods of old sang though her like the grandest, most magnificent symphony. Of course, now, she’s discovered these stories aren’t myths. Who and what the goddesses and gods were precisely, well, that’s another question... one that is well-documented and discussed by many fantastic researchers.Daydreaming another world into existence, reading voraciously and losing herself in another time and place... that was and is vital nourishment to this Big Cat. Creating fantasy realms ~ OtherWorlds, OtherRealms, OtherTimes ~ has been a lifelong passion, and now realized to some degree, by penning her books, and by all the WIPs she has going, most of them consigned to live only in their plastic containers, or in bits and bites.Still, the Kougaress has no regrets in expressing her vivid wild imagination over the years, even if it’s never to be seen or published. In these fantasy worlds, she can live free, be born free. Run free. She can live as she desires. She can love as she desires.HOWEVER! There is that line between fairytale, fantasy and REALITY. In these times, that line has been lost by so many folks, this Big Cat is stunned, amazed, staggered... yet, psychologically, she understands why. Who wants to face these times? Who wants to face the current reality as it truly is? Not only the current reality, but the possible horrific future ... that is, unless we the people change it.For example, the city of Detroit has been essentially destroyed. Some describe it as looking like a war zone. And, this Big Cat just heard that about 40% of the population remaining in Detroit are *functionally illiterate*. How can this *reality* portend good times ahead? How can this be our beloved America? More to the point, this simply illustrates how far gone things are now. Here and now. The present.Mygosh... hyper-speed homelessness, and foreclosures off the charts... folks starving with no jobs to be had... the super-corp elite rich getting richer. These slimy parasites are on the backs of the merely rich, the entrepreneurs, the middle class and the poor. How about the fed-run casino economy that is swirling around the toilet bowl, and going down, down...And, yet, some still actually believe they’ll have their pensions, their retirement ... all when others are losing ‘what they counted on’ and ‘what they paid for’ right and left because of the economy and because they were conned by the BANKSTERS, and the gov. The ever-loving gov wants to cheat the baby boomers out of their social security... what they paid into for all those years... folks on fixed incomes are becoming destitute. And, daily, the challenges mount exponentially for most of us. Just in the rising prices of food... rising because of the toilet-flushed dollar, and because food production is intentionally being ‘limited’ as a means of control.Yet, some are so out of touch with reality, so into the media-perpetuated myths, they actually believe life will continue in the US as they were raised to believe it would... that their retirement accounts will remain untouched, that there will be enough energy/power/electricity if only they have enough money to ‘pay’ for it... that there will be enough food, enough water, as long as they can ‘pay’ for it... Nope, that ain’t the reality.If food isn’t available for whatever reason, it isn’t... and it won’t matter if you have dollars, or digital currency. If gas and/or energy is cut off for whatever excuse/reason/catastrophe/attack... it won’t matter, even if you can pay for gas, or manage the electric bill. The whole system that has been forced onto the American people by cruel endless lies, and by endless diabolical deceptions... well, it’s all been a fairytale, one with a designed and dark ending.And, nope, your 401Ks, if you have any, WON’T save you. Nor will medicare, medicaid, and all the other gov shyster programs. Not in the long run. Nor will Insurance save you in the long run. Once the catastrophes pile up, those companies will bail out like they always do. And, the gov won’t come to your rescue. Unless, you like FEMA camps ala the days of Hitler.It’s time to save yourself, and your loved ones. It’s time to form communities where everyone has everyone else’s best interests at heart.~~~~~~

This is an unprecedented change, and David Sereda here discusses what we are likely to experience as this process continues. The increase of energy involved, which started in 2006, will affect everything on earth, including the human body and the human mind. Scientists believe that it is happening because the solar system has entered an area of the galaxy that is affecting our sun--and us--in ways that we have never seen before. Could the "cosmic sap" predicted by the Mayans to enter the world in 2012 be a "cosmic sub-atomic particle?" Listen and find out!Visit David Sereda's website ~ voiceentertainment.net ~~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~From the Kougar’s Writing Den ~ White Fang, Ace Reporter *Unedited Six Sentence* progress on the latest WIP novella... Chapter Seven ~ Interview with the Biker Alpha White Fang followed Dante through the bar’s rudimentary kitchen. The Biker Alpha halted, opening a door storage room door. Instead, they stepped onto a carpeted platform, and White Fang held his tongue as they moved down a wide, newly installed stairway at a brisk pace. Once they walked along a spacious corridor, atmospherically lit with gaslights, he estimated they were a good twenty-five feet below ground. Dante stopped before a door at odds with the nineteenth century setting. It could have come from a medieval castle, and White Fang’s brows raised as he read the ornate sign: There Be Shapeshifters of Every Kind. Beware of Fangs, Claws and Tails. ~~~

BIG CAT ROARS...Did you know the crapping medical establishment actually stated MS is related to Vitamin D deficiency, and lack of sunlight. Gee, there were those in the alternative community who pointed that out decades ago. But, heck, then THEY couldn’t have had all that fundraising to stop a disease easily stopped with proper nutrition. And, heck, now the monstrous FDA can claim they need to regulate Vitamin D and take it away from the health food stores. May the corrupt disgusting mass murderers at the FDA and BIG PHARMA endlessly rot in the hell they’ve made!!! This Big Cat will stoke the fires of damnation.~~~“The detonation sacrificed 200 square miles of farmland in Missouri.” ~ bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13297949 ~Yeah, that’s right. To ‘supposedly’ save one town, Cairo, Illinois, the corrupt effing idiots blew up a levee. Never mind all of the generational farms that have been established in this vast area. Never mind this was prime farmland that is needed to feed the people of this beloved country. So, where is the food coming from? There are already shortages. No, never mind more families were displaced than lived in the town. No, never mind the criminal cruel gov can come in and do whatever it wants to you and your land... no, never mind.Note: Where is Zorro, the Lone Ranger... where are our American heroes? Where?~~~~~~

White Fang’s Heroine ... yep, the Kougar was doing research on prehistoric cats to get some ideas about what Z’Pasha, White Fang’s heroine, looks like in her shifted feline form. Since her ancestral heritage goes back to the antediluvian times on Earth when the Egyptian goddesses and gods lived among the human population and were part of the population as a whole... yeah, a controversial idea about prehistory... yet, one that there is a lot of evidence for, if you actually study what’s been discovered... anyhoo, the Kougar ended up studying cat statues of Bast and lion-headed statues of Sekhmet... but then, while reading about Egyptian history, she found this fabulous art pic, which is ~Z’Pasha~ in her human form, and the woman White Fang just can’t resist despite his steel-like discipline... this Big Cat could hardly believe her eyes... and thank you to the Divine. Oops, correction... this is Z'Pasha as a cat woman... when the Kougar blew up the pic she found those adorable feline ears and her cat eyes. Z'Pasha, in full human form, has different eyes, and human-looking ears, even if they are a bit pointed. ~~~~~~

Chapter Six ~ Shere Khan’s Dishonorable NinjasA whirling wind heralded dawn, and blew through Z’Pasha. Once Earth’s breath intermingled with her essence, she knew she had achieved her desired diaphanous state. Z’Pasha retained the full use of her magickal skills as she would while fully materialized, yet she could also travel as the wind. Aware Shere Khan possessed a similar sorcery due to his disciplined practice of the esoteric knowing, Z’Pasha sent breeze-like tendrils to act as her alarm. While the Yakuza leader’s ninjas were advanced in the art of fighting astrally, they did not match his abilities, as Z’Pasha had discovered. She considered Shere Khan a dangerous enemy. ~~~~~~

Note: While all is fair in the art of penning an erotic romance novel, the Kougaress just finds this to be really weird... unless it’s a turn-on to know someone from the gov may be listening... ??? From UNKNOWN COUNTRY ~ Have Sex With Your Cell PhoneThursday, April 28, 2011Our cell phones are tracking us and spying on us--are they doing anything GOOD? Well, they may be delivering some good sex.Vibrators are now sold in your local drug store, but you don't need to buy one--you can buy an iphone app that will do the job instead. In the April 21st edition of the New York Times, Hilary Howard reports that Suki Dunham, a former business manager for Apple, has created a line of vibrators that synchronize rhythmically with iPods, iPads, iPhones and other smartphones.People who worry about what ELSE cell phones may be doing to their bodies should know that electromagnetic radiation from cellular phones may adversely affect your bones (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show), especially if (as many men do) you wear your phone on your belt. Researcher Fernando D. Sravi measured bone density at the left and right hip in two groups of healthy men: 24 men who did not use cell phones and 24 men who carried their cell phone in a belt pouch, on the right side, for at least one year. With the rapid growth in cell phone use, any significant effect on bone strength could have a substantial effect on the osteoporosis rate in the population. Sravi wants to test women next, who have higher rates of osteoporosis, and also children, who would have longer expected lifetime exposure to cell phones.~~~
From Astrology.com ~ Your May Forecast is Here!May starts off with optimism and energy, bringing a welcome respite from the trials and tribulations of April. And what's more, this relief will last the entire month!On May 1, Mars meets up with Jupiter in a jovial conjunction that will give you courage and confidence. You'll experience good fortune -- but in this case, it will be of your own making. There's a tendency to go over the top with this transit, so try to keep some of your extravagances in check, especially when it comes to sharing opinions that may not necessarily be appreciated by others.The new Moon on May 6 helps you kick-start practical projects, and although you can indulge your whims at this time, you'll achieve greater success if you narrow your focus to specific tasks and projects.Venus has been hindered by Saturn lately, but on May 11, a happy meeting with Jupiter brings out Venus's fun and frivolous nature; with this, you'll find yourself more free and happy than before. Also on May 11, Mars moves from Aries into Taurus. This transit will bring out your sensual side, while also adding a hint of pleasure-seeking and materialism.May 15 sees not one, but two planets -- flirty Venus and chatty Mercury -- join both the Sun and Mars in Taurus. Mercury's influence will slow your decision-making process, but once you set your mind to something, you'll hold firm. Venus, meanwhile, will add to the sensuality of Mars and increase your need for physical affection.The full Moon on May 17 creates tension between self-centered tendencies and a desire for more passion (which obviously requires someone else), so you'll need to rise above this see-saw and find a way to reach middle ground.Then, on May 20-21, Mars, Mercury and Venus all meet in an easy transit with Pluto, at which point a solution will suddenly appear to dilemmas that have been slowing you down. Mars will give you power and Mercury will boost your persuasive capabilities; and with Venus, you'll simply ooze charm. Nothing can stop you now!Finally, on May 22, the Sun moves out of earthy Taurus and into intellectual Gemini. Your curiosity will know no bounds, and you'll experience a restlessness that can only be satisfied by new experiences and activities. ~~~
Six Planets Now Aligned in the Dawn SkyGeoff Gaherty, Starry Night Education,Space.com geoff Gaherty, Starry Night Education,space.com – Thu Apr 28, 10:31 pm ETIf you get up any morning for the next few weeks, you’ll be treated to the sight of all the planets except Saturn arrayed along the ecliptic, the path of the sun through the sky.For the last two months, almost all the planets have been hiding behind the sun, but this week they all emerge and are arrayed in a grand line above the rising sun. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are visible, and you can add Uranus and Neptune to your count if you have binoculars or a small telescope.*** If you go out any morning for the next four days, you’ll be treated to a view of the crescent moon and all but one of the naked eye planets.Because the moon moves rapidly from one morning to the next, it will only be part of the lineup for the next four mornings, but the four naked-eye planets will be there for the next few weeks.Venus is, as always, the brightest and most visible of the planets, and it can be your guide to spotting the others. About half way between Venus and the rising sun is Jupiter, the second brightest planet.Mars will be a tiny speck just above Jupiter, and Mercury another tiny speck about half way between Jupiter and Venus. Uranus is slightly more than one binocular field above and to the right of Venus, and Neptune is much farther to the right, about 40 degrees away in Aquarius. The Moon will be just above Venus on Saturday morning, and just above Jupiter and Mars on Sunday morning. ~ news.yahoo.com/s/space/20110429/sc_space/sixplanetsnowalignedinthedawnsky ~ ~~~~~~

After midnight meows, my Springtime romancing Pussycats... oh, weirdness everywhere indeed, so it feels... it’s cold, wet and rainy on the tame prairie... lordy, lordy, bless all those in the path of the storms... those tornadoes and winds were/are on the rampage... Mother Earth is speaking up. The Kougaress discovered a major hole near the end of her drive, one that goes all he way down to the tiny stream below... it had been a deep depression that she was filling up... now, well, the only thing she can think of to try is concrete blocks... ? ~big sigh~ ~~~~~~
Magick, did it happen... that’s the question for the Kougaress... Volcano’s Angelic Forecast for this past week ‘unexpectedly’ dealt on the emergence of magick, in part, that is... so, what did this Big Cat notice from her vantage point? She didn’t see anything in your face, and so obvious it knocked her over... however, what is true, is that there is a major shift, a big jump in the overall interest in, and acceptance of paranormal topics... far, far beyond what it used to be even a year ago. Do you know that we as humanity, have the power. That is, our overall will would prevail if we came together in mass consciousness and mass prayer. Many of you darling KitKats know this... the trick seems to be getting enough of us to align ourselves toward the Good in a manner that brings about overnight, or what appears to be miraculous change. What if dependence on big brother/big sis gov ended? What if we all just did what was right and what benefitted us as a WHOLE? One act that would benefit us all is if we all said to hell with the gov O-fficials, and started growing hemp. Hemp is one crop this country was founded on. George Washington grew hemp and marijuana. Hemp was such an important crop to the welfare and prosperity of our country, it was guarded at all costs until after WWII. With the rise of the evil fascist corp-gov, Hemp was banned because it rivaled their products, and would have kept us all much freer, and certainly much wealthier. Food, fuel, clothing, shelter... Hemp can be used for all that. It’s a sacred plant in the Bible, so this Big Cat has heard... she hasn’t searched it out herself. If we, as the People, simply began growing Hemp, if we simply began living in ways that are GOOD for all of us... if enough of us did that... THEY couldn’t stop us! And, oh how magical and magickal our lives could be. NOTE: Oooh... talk about magical synchronicity. As the Kougaress is posting right now, a major magickal, miracle breakthrough show is happening on Coast to Coast am... WOW! double wow, triple wow! ~~~~~~
Big Cat by-the-numbers ~ 2:22 am... 4:44 am... 12:12 pm... 3:33 pm... 1:11 am... switch on the freedom light... it’s Charlie Chaplin’s 122nd birthday according to Googlie... the Kougaress read Mr. Chaplin’s autobiography decades ago... talk about someone who stood up for freedom, and paid the price by being blacklisted, plus having other bad stuff done to him... so much so, he had to live in Switzerland. ~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~From the Kougar’s Writing Den ~ White Fang, Ace Reporter *X-Unedited Six Sentence* progress on the latest WIP novella... Chapter Five ~ A Story With BiteWhite Fang stealthily moved behind a row of tall prickly bushes. Werewolf musk hung in the night air as heavy as his own balls. That is, ever since he’d first caught a whiff of the potent mating odor. Hidden by deep shadow, White Fang halted next to the roughhewn lodge. He’d discovered the place inside an isolated forest clearing. By simple observation, he’d found out it was a local alpha hangout for bikers, and any shifter who was wolf enough to bloody his fangs, and ride with the top dogs. ~~~

Word has it, Editor-in-chief Nick McMahon has set aside a tidy little sum of money, in trust, for not only the lovely ~and quite talented, as I hear it~ Ziva Wilk, but for her little sister, Cami Ann, as well. What goes on there, I wonder?~~~

Nighttime howls and yowls, my Springtime stormin’ Kittens... looks like a major nasty storm could hit the tame prairie... a windy day to be sure... oh, how this Big Cat wishes she could get outdoors more, even with the radiation, and get to planting something... so far, too much other stuff to get done... however, the Kougar is howling with happiness right now... see below. ~~~~~~
Big Cat by-the-numbers ~ 2:22 am... 3:33 am... 4:44 am... 2:22 pm... 4:44 pm... class warfare is being ratcheted up... gee, like taxing the supposed rich will actually work... nope, it’s just another plundering and raping of Americans by the gov goons... and a see-through strategy to keep us all under their evil global thumbs... oh, yeah, he’s the flim-flam glam man with strange new scars on his head no one has explained. ~~~~~~

From the Kougar’s Writing Den ~ White Fang, Ace Reporter *Unedited Six Sentence* progress on the latest WIP novella... Chapter Four ~ Drinks With a Renegade Werewolf “Pasha.” Smiling with an allure she knew most men responded to, Z’Pasha introduced herself to Dante. She offered her hand in the current-day, American manner to the werewolf biker. Earlier, Z’Pasha had singled him out as the alpha in charge of the rough-tough bar hidden away in the depths of the forest surrounding Talbot’s Peak. He rose with careless gallantry from the barstool he’d occupied since she’d entered, about an hour ago. Dante clasped her hand, his gaze enigmatic and disconcertingly direct. ~~~
The Kougar is blogging at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY, on Friday, the 15th. Here’s the beginning... Angelic Erotic Romance in 2014Friday greetings, everyone. Whenever I’m able, I love writing follow up scenes for the heroines and heroes of my pubbed books. After all, love, romance and erotic romance don’t end with THE END. Not as far as I’m concerned. The life and love story of my heroines and heroes, their adventures together, always continues in my mind. What follows is the blurb, then the latest flash scene I’ve written, between Volcano and Sedona. It was written in honor of Valentine’s Day. ~~~

Featured at ROMANCE WRITERS BEHAVING BADLY ~ Thursday Thirteen: Laughter - the Best MedicineLaughter Feels Good! By Kayelle Allen I love meeting people who have a sense of humor. Laughter is the best medicine. Today's Thursday 13 focuses on one liners about sex. AND... Thursday thirteen: the wit of Mae West by Cara Bristol Many women—actresses, models, starlets, porn stars, Playboy playmates—have capitalized on their sexuality to further their careers. Many others—advertisers, clothing designers, cosmetics companies and even (ahem) romance writers—also have learned that sell sells. Sex is out there for anyone who wants to use it. ~~~~~~
