New Moon in Scorpio... yeah, yeah, fall back...


Late evening purrs, my sleep-in Big Beautiful Cats... yeah, yeah, fall back and enjoy the extra hour of snoozing... it was definitely warmer on the tame prairie today, a lovely day full of falling leaves and birds chirping their calls... oh, the Kougaress heard an interesting bit of news last night on Coast to Coast am... a man who has had all sorts of adventures, and has somehow managed to survive, around the fact that he recreated some of Tesla’s technology, anti-grav being one of them... has created a tone technology, as in sounds, with other people, that apparently cleans up the ocean... they are having success down in the Gulf of Mexico.
~~~

New Moon in Scorpio... ah, get in touch with those sexy secrets and bring them forth in the way you desire most, darling kittens... taking another tack... okay, the first planet ruler of Scorpio was Mars, until Pluto was brought on board... of course, now Pluto has been given the scientific boot... which has always been suspicious to this Big Cat... so the question: why are there so many cities and regions of Earth that are named Mars, or have Mars-connected names... like Cairo, which means Mars the planet, not the god of Mars, or Aries, or whatever all his god names are???

All this reminds the Kougaress of that olden TV show, My Favorite Martian... which, at the time, was one of her faves... what? Are the Martians about to make their presence known? Is the WAR OF THE WORLDS here, and now?

So, what is the mystery around MARS? What is the Mars Connection?

There are some researchers in the field of ancient archeology who say Martians colonized Earth or moved to Earth after the catastrophic strike to their world. There are also those who were part of black ops who say there are Martians here, specifically in the Carlsbad area... they also say there is stargate travel currently between Earth and Mars... information abounds, but what is really true?

Do all interplanetary roads lead back to Mars?

Authoress news and mews ~

Okay, then, the Kougar is ‘feeling’ like she’s on someone’s sh*t list. Or, emails are not going through. Her Rites of Romance blog has been totally ignored, with no response at all, despite follow-up emails. And, the same for her Paranormal Character interview for Got Romance Reviews. Gee, mew... who did moi piss off? Though, that would not be difficult to accomplish, given the human condition, so to yowl, and the way of the world, currently. And, also given, this Big Cat speaks her mind, which is verboten in some circles.

It appears, unfortunately, that more and more folks are dividing themselves into their own little myopic cliques, rather than simply looking for the good and being open to what someone else has to offer. Of course, what is also true is that most of us are super insanely busy... and, stuff happens. Life interruptus gets us.

That being meowed, this Big Cat, until she finds out, if she ever does, what has occurred... will NOT be recommending those two sites as advantageous to authors. And, hey, just for the eternal Akashic record, *junior high clique crap* was more than enough for the Kougar!!!

Onward. Upward. POWER UP! POWER UP! POWER UP!

And a Big Cat roar of THANKS to all of the Kougar’s friends, who stand with her. She loves you.

Moonrise Over Miami
by Solara

Nardella stepped off the plane, sniffing the air. Wet. . .the air smelled so wet she swore she’d never feel dry again. Nothing smelled like the dry arid sands of her homeland. Shielding her eyes, she squinted and tried to focus on the growing crowd inside the terminal. He would be there. Amongst the humans waiting to gawk at them and shove their camera flashes in her, and the others on the plane, face demanding a word or nuance from them. Noises behind her interrupted her thoughts.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

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

Part 678 ~

Sylva could hardly believe the attention Zeke paid to her, and the whole of her pussy. She basked, even as sweet-hot ecstasy streaked through her from the intimate play of his tongue. His teeth lightly pulled on her clit and insane pleasure gripped her. “Zeke.” His name resonated with what he did to her. Using both his tongue and his teeth, her cowboy husband delicately manipulated her clit in unbelievable ways.“God,” she burst out, as she went up in flames of wild rapture. Somewhere inside herself, Sylva wondered that she could feel so much pleasure without having an orgasm.

Zeke indulged in his beautiful wife’s obvious bliss. What pleased him more was her trust in him as her husband. Most likely his Sylva gave him more than she realized of herself. He flicked her nubbin as he kept the tiny engorged flesh trapped between his teeth. Releasing his hold on her thighs, he swept his hands over the luscious shape of her haunches. Then, he laid claim to her waist. Lord above, if she didn’t feel so feminine it turned him inside out in all the right ways. In all the ways a man should be turned inside out.

Bizarreness on the near horizon...


Feel Good Friday into Saturday, my frolicsome and flirtatious Big Cats... oh, yesterday the sunset was an apricot glisten and today it was a beautiful tangerine glow... purrs, the Kougaress loves her tame prairie. When she went into town for some necessary shopping, the hawks were out flying over the fields, and it was a gorgeous, if chilly Autumn day.
~~~

Bizarreness on the near horizon... oh, darling KitKats, world events have gone more bizarre wonky than usual, even in this heightened time of sheer upside down terrible wonkiness. The two guys known as the Web Bot guys, who use a unique computer program to detect upcoming events by tuning into what folks are writing on the web... anyway, they are predicting *something big and bad* for the next few days. From this Big Cat’s perspective, analysis and intuition... well, something HUGE and NASTY is in the wind, huger and nastier than has been.

However, the Kougaress has taken the divine stand that ‘whatever’ will be BLOW BACK against the bad guys and gals... or/and there will be divine intervention to prevent any catastrophic event. May divine intervention be so for all of humanity around the world.

How do you know a two-way mirror from a regular mirror? Today, moi heard that if you press your fingernail against the surface and it meets, IT IS A TWO-WAY MIRROR. Whereas, if there’s a tiny gap between the nails, it’s a regular mirror.

DO NOT TRY THIS ONE AT HOME, OR ANYWHERE!

Every so often. *once in a blue moon?* this Big Cat does something SO INCREDIBLY STUPID it defies any kind of rational thought or logical behavior. Okay, no one ever said DON’T DO THIS AT HOME... however, yowlsa, really moi should have known better. What did she do? This is big time embarrassment! Given where moi is located, radio reception isn’t always the best. Earlier this year, she tried out an idea she found on the web... placing a length of copper in the ground then adhering a copper wire to it and running it inside and then attaching it to the radio antenna thingie... okay, no problem there... however, this evening when she went to plug the radio into an outlet strip, she had this crazy notion to place the copper wire between the plug prongs then plug into the outlet... like that might improve reception... NO!!! sparks! The smell of burning... blackout! The whole room went dark. Thank goodness the computer was plugged into UPS battery thingie and was just fine... so, not being that electrically inclined, this Big Cat had no clue what to do... except that the rest of house was okay, undamaged... so, she took a look at both circuit breaker boxes and *voila* she saw one slightly out of alignment... okay, problem solved... THANK THE DIVINE!

Flirty Friday- Body Language- What is it saying?
by Dawne Prochilo

People watching can be fun- especially when in a location known for single people to be hanging out. Have you ever watched someone in bar? The come-hither looks and glances? The discreet glances between two people in the office? Or the blatant flirt when a man 'accidentally' brushes against you?
~~~~~~

From Astrology.com ~

On November 6, we have a New Moon in Scorpio -- the most emotionally intense sign in the zodiac. And it is a get-your-act together time!

Ruled by the planet Mars, Scorpio is about determination. Decisions made under this sign usually stick since your will power will be stronger. Even if it takes effort, patience and a mega-ton of perseverance, you'll get to where you want to be eventually is what the New Moon tells you.

To make the most of the energies of the cosmos right now -- focus on the areas of your life where you want to make a change and decide if that is so important to you that you need to engage your whole being in it -- fully. This is not the time for whims and fancies. You must know down to the marrow of your bones that what you are aiming for is an expression of your real self. Not only does your head and heart need to be in alignment, your elements have to come together as well -- Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Any plan that you wish to launch on this New Moon must feed your idealism and be a true inspiration. It has to be practical and workable. You have to have thought it through and it has to feel just right. If you can do that and go after it with formidable determination -- then victory is yours!

Be prepared for a minor distraction on this day of the New Moon as Mercury forms a square to Neptune as well. You may find yourself the target of evasiveness or downright dishonesty from others. It is best to ignore everyone else and be self-sufficient. Or you may find yourself indulging in a day dream. Be firm with yourself, pay attention to details and the universe will reward you!

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

Part 677 ~

Sylva widened her legs, then strained to arch her ass higher. “That’s it, darlin’. Show me that ripe bud of yours.” Her breath burst from her non-stop as Sylva waited. She clenched her eyelids as she imagined what she must look like. Except, realistically, she’d never had that view of herself. All thought vanished as Zeke drew the length of his finger up her slit, stroking. “Damn. If you don’t feel like female paradise.” He gripped the top of her thighs possessively, and Sylva knew he lowered his head. Her clit spasmed with anticipation. She felt drops of her wetness.

Zeke lapped his woman’s dripping juices with the point of his tongue. The taste of her ecstatic arousal might as well have been branched lightning inside his loins. She tried to squirm as he continued, but he kept her still, his to command. Seizing her thighs harder, he plunged his tongue inside her steamy little sheath, then quickly withdrew. Her sharp moan of pleasure and need surged a husbandly pride through him, along with a new happiness. He pushed his lips between her pussy’s red wet petals, then gradually pressed and nuzzled a path toward her clit. “Zeke,” she gasped.

Feed the blighters to the sharks!


Late evening yowls, my cuddly and warmly cuddled Kittens... the winds are blasting over the tame prairie and they are ‘brrrrrrr’ cold.... yep, it’s freezing temps tonight... since tilting at windmills is sometimes the Kougaress’s favorite past time, she covered her tomato plants, but isn’t holding out a lot of hope for their overall survival... ~sad sighs~
~~~

Feed the blighters to the sharks! Yeah, where is Jaws, these days, when you really need him? Prowling the wrong waters? What? Are ebook pirates not to your blood-discriminating palate, Mr.Jaws, once we skewer their butts and push them off the plank?

Or, perhaps, in this case Land Shark, who starred in an old Saturday Night Live skit, would be the superior choice as The Devouring Assassin. Hmmm...? It could go like this: Land Shark, book-o-gram. Your ipod book-o-gram is here. Land Shark, ma’am, sir. Stolen digital book delivery.

So, why is this Big Cat author fantasy-feeding ebook pirates to the sharks? Beside, the obvious villainy? BECAUSE, as she’s roared before, she works way, way too damn hard writing her stories, to then have her books stolen and treated as if they should just be available for free. After all, I guess, someone is supposed to build you a house for free. Fix your car for free. Grow all your food for free. Authors are just supposed to starve, all so you can read their books for free. Yep, all while you dare complain about the ebook you’ve stolen. And, of course, all while you sit around and amuse yourself like the infamous, but beheaded Marie Antoinette.

Yes, this Big Cat does have compassion for those readers who actually don’t have money to spend, or are so poor they can barely make it. Those who have severe health issues and can’t work, or earn enough. Plus now, there are those who have been victimized by the banksters and are out of work. It’s a nasty, nasty world and we are in a Depression. However, there are contests to win ebooks, and there are lots of free reads. Not to mention review sites are always looking for good reviewers. However, obviously, if you’re an e-pirate, they don’t want you.

What brought about all this? There is now a blog devoted to exposing e-pirates, see below.
~~~~~~

12:12 am... 1:11 am... 2:22 pm... 3:33 pm... 10:10 pm... 11:11 pm... 12:12 am... Appears as though 2012 is coming full circle.

Authoress news and mews ~

Okay, then... as the Kougar posted before, she completed her interview questions for the Rites of Romance blog ~ rorreviews.wordpress.com ~ and e-sent... her post is scheduled for the November 5th... HOWEVER, she has received no confirmation her interview made it to its destination... so ~shrug~ she has no clue if it will be posted. Or not.

The Kougar also e-sent a Paranormal Character Interview to Got Romance Reviews, one that was supposed to be for Halloween. To this Big Cat’s knowledge Sable Kiki’s interview was never posted. ~more shrugs~ Given there has never been any response, moi asked to use the interview elsewhere. Well, there’s been no response to that question either.

Thursday Thirteen - Pick a Pic
by Kayelle Allen

I've been working on trailers for my books recently, and have learned about color, balance, light, dark, mood, and so much more. One thing was to look for the "rule of threes" which is to divide the picture into thirds diagonally, vertically, or horizontally. Certain things lend themselves to this. For example, a photo of a beach. 1/3 is sand, 1/3 is water, and 1/3 is sky. Place a few sailboats in the picture and you create a pleasing landscape. Today, I'm sharing 13 ways to pick a good picture. In order to make it fun, I'm using pix of hunks. (Ah... now you're paying attention!) You'll notice how evident this "rule of threes" is after you begin to look for it.

I found out about this blog from Rowena Cherry. Turn about is most definitely fair play. They are posting public information available through internet searches about the pirates (real names and such). And since most everyone knows the amount of public domain information available about you on the internet is scary as hell (we're talking the free stuff, not the ones you have to pay for)... well let's just say, I LOVE this blog.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

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

Part 676 ~

Sylva soared and simultaneously felt seared with bliss. It was pleasure, not an orgasm, but extreme effing pleasure. ‘Zeke, Zeke,’ she silently shouted her praise of him. Still, she wanted more. He’d released her clit. Oh, god. She burned for more. “Please...” Her cowboy slid his tongue up her seam again, and she moaned, entirely wanton. “Shine that beautiful moon ass of yours, darlin’, at me and I’ll give you more.” The instant he let go of her knees, Sylva whipped upwards and around. On her knees, she positioned her butt before him, offering her aching clit, her naughty-feeling pussy.

Zeke groaned harshly, then stroked his hands over the round fullness of his woman’s behind. “Cowboy,” she desperately whispered. His beautiful naked bride sank to her elbows. She dipped her back even more, presenting her bloomed carnal rose. Zeke grunted, every particle of him primal for her. His hips jerked forward, his cock lunging for her sheath. ‘Down, stud,’ he mentally ordered. Sliding his thumbs downward, over the slick flesh on either side of her breeding sex, he enjoyed her hot juiciness. Slowly, he stroked up and down, teasing her erotic sensibilities. “Zeke.” She moaned. “You’re killing me...oh, yes, please.”

IMO ~ Reflections from an old queen of romance


Greetings, sweet and feisty-clawing Felines... ~whew~ what a whirlwind of a day, biz wise, and the winds swept over the tame prairie this afternoon, whipping the leaves around and baring the branches... lordy, lordy, can the days move any faster... most likely the wrong the question to ask because moi does not want to know the answer...

Yes, the Kougar is still penning along on Kandy Apple, and coming to the end of another chapter. It’s a take-a-breath time for Kandace, Zin and Zol. After defeating the alien sorceresses, they are recovering and learning more about each other, what their life together might look like after sexually creating their triad of power... you know, that time of discovery, of growing intimacy... and, of course, lots of erotic romping romance... and the final choice Kandace must make.
~~~~~~

IMO ~ Reflections from an old queen of romance ~ okay, usually, in all honesty this Big Cat author does not have time to spend reading the Romance Writers Report, official magazine of Romance Writers of America, from cover to cover [if at all]. Using the time for actual writing does her a lot more good.

HOWEVER... the Kougar had a yen and glanced through the November 2010, Volume 30, Number 11... or the latest received mag... and, there it was... GOLD ... check out IN MY OPINION by Bertrice Small... as this icon of a romance author will tell you, she is outspoken and the Kougar has always adored her for it. Well, Ms. Small has something to say that in this Big Cat’s opinion every romance author or aspiring author should read. *Really.*
~~~
Here’s a blurb of the first romance novel by Bertrice Small the Kougaress read, lo all those years ago when it was originally released... and no, she was definitely not prepared for the erotic power and the amazing and wonderful historical scope of this epic story... Ms. Small blew this Big Cat away emotionally... and, well, this story still comes to mind every so often, especially the ending... that is the sheer magical force of Ms. Small’s writing.

The Kadin

Janet Leslie is kidnapped, and sold as a slave. Her purchaser? Hadji Bey, the Agha Kislar of the sultan. Known now as Cyra Hafise, she becomes the mother of a future sultan, and a power behind the throne. When her son's favorite tries to poison her, Cyra fakes her own death, returning to Scotland, and the other son long ago smuggled from Turkey in order to save him from death. Back in Scotland a new life, and a new set of adventures, await her. 15th & 16th C. Turkey and Scotland.
~~~

Hi Savanna,

I wanted to tell you that I just read Branded by the Texans and LOVED IT! I really hope you are planning more books in the Three Star Republic.

I loved the seamless way you blended a historical western feel with a sci/fi-alternate universe reality. I aways enjoy pop references in a story as well (Captain Sisco and Chuck Norris comments). I'm certain I'll be rereading it many times in the future.

Thanks for the great read!

MISTLETOE EVERYWHERE Release Day!
By Linda Banche

Mistletoe Everywhere, my Regency Christmas comedy, is here!

BLURB:
A man who sees mistletoe everywhere is mad--or in love.

Charles sees mistletoe. Not surprising, since he's spending Christmas at Mistletoe Manor. But why does no one else see it? And why does it always appear above Penelope, the despised lady who jilted him after their last meeting?

Penelope wants nothing to do with the faithless Charles, the man who cried off after she accepted his marriage proposal. But he still stirs her heart--and he stares at her all the time. Or rather, he stares at the empty ceiling over her head…What does he see?

According to folklore, mistletoe is the plant of peace. Can Penelope and Charles, so full of hurt and anger, heed the mistletoe's message and make peace?

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

Part 675 ~

Sylva sobbed with pleasure as Zeke stroked the sensitized flesh around her pussy opening with his tongue. “Oh, god... what. you. do. to. me.” On fire with ecstasy, she panted and moaned as he plunged his tongue against the rim of her sex, then lapped up her slit again. He took his time, and she was tempted to release herself. Yet, she didn’t want the erotic torment to end, even though her sheath begged for his cock. Besides, Sylva doubted her own personal gunslinger would allow it. “Zeke,” she burst out, as his tongue tip vigorously toyed with her clit’s bulb.

Zeke licked his woman’s aroused nubbin just the way he felt like, the way that put more blazin’ bullets in his ‘gun for hire’, as she’d named his shaft. Yep, his cock was surely his Sylva’s gun for hire. Rewarded by his name, a breathy scream of unbridled pleasure, he lightly nipped her bud, then gripped with his teeth and tugged. “Oh. Oh. Zeke. More...more, please.” With his face taut, hardened by his lust, Zeke could only grin inwardly. He pulled again, then gave a quick tug. She screamed, rocking as she could against his hold on her knees.

SEARCH TERM: STEAL NEVADA

Did Harry Reid Steal Nevada?

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Infowars.com
November 3, 2010

A serious investigation into potential vote fraud needs to be launched immediately in Nevada, after incumbent Harry Reid beat Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle by a clear five points, despite pre-election polls showing Angle four points ahead, amidst suspicious evidence of vote flipping and other dirty tricks on behalf of the Reid campaign last week that were dubbed “criminal” by Angle’s campaign attorney.

Angle clearly had the momentum going into the election, having come from behind to take the lead over the Senate majority leader.

Four separate Rasmussen polls prior to the election had Angle ahead. Two weeks before Super Tuesday, she held a 50% to 47% lead over Reid. One week prior to voting, on October 26, her lead was extended to four points, with Angle at 49% and Reid at 45%.

The race was tight, but surveys clearly showed that Angle was gradually extending her lead as each week went by.

To have a nine point swing, from Angle enjoying a four point lead just a week before the election, to Reid winning the seat by a clear five points, is highly suspicious, especially given the chicanery that came to light just last week. Nine points is not within the margin of error for polls, especially those conducted by Rasmussen, which is considered to be one of if not the most credible polling agency.

When early voting started last week, reports out of Clark County, home to three quarters of Nevada residents, indicated that electronic voting machines were automatically checking Harry Reid’s name on the ballot.

Gone past the point of silly...


Antonio Bandares ~ Interview With a Vampire

Tuesday into Wednesday humpin’ yowls, my Beautiful Big Cats... still drugged on Halloween fun and all the candy treats? Maows... those sexy vampires are still an intoxicating temptation for moi... and all her witchy learning is settling in deep, into the very cauldron of her being... and now, Thanksgiving is on the holiday horizon...

Gone past the point of silly... the Kougaress heard this phrase used about a week ago... yep, that is the way life is ‘supposedly’ lived in these times... the whole way our culture is being driven... yep, it has *gone past the point of silly*... news isn’t news, it’s hype, agenda and the rare realm of the celebrity... there’s nothing relevant about it, as far as actually living a good life, in this Big Cat’s opinion... most everything about our lives has become so convoluted, so ass backwards, so fantasy-driven [not the good kind of fantasy, either] that reality and the good life has been lost... it’s become a horrific cartoon world in so many ways... that is, except for the love of family, friends and partners, and pets... that is, except for when a caring act is performed simply because someone does care... that is, except for those brave folks who are going back to land and growing good food... those who are raising healthy happy farm animals... those who produce real food like raw milk and raw cheese... like organic fruits and vegetables, grains and nuts and eggs... that is, except for those who live from their souls... yes, those who create music and art and books from their souls and their hearts... that is, except for those who can craft leather boots, sew a dress, or those folks who can truly make something... we can’t live on wall-street derivatives or the fast-vanishing 401k... we can live on good bread baked by actual bakers. Yum!

OMY!!! the Kougar received a massive contest list from The Romance Studio’s Spookapalooza Halloween event, so that she can choose a winner for a PDF copy of BLACK CAT BEAUTY... she has no idea how to choose a winner at this point. If any of those on the list see this and you truly want to win moi’s book, comment here, please. After all, why send the book to a reader who doesn’t actually want it?

Okay, then... the Kougar completed her interview questions for the Rites of Romance blog ~ rorreviews.wordpress.com ~ and e-sent... her post is scheduled for the November 5th...

Bodice Ripper
by Mary Quast

I hear the term "Bodice Ripper" occasionally. For some reason the term seems cheesy and makes me think of the books my mom's generation read. I asked some of my writer pals about the term.

Happy Courtship on another Earth

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

Part 674 ~

Sylva felt as if she became blanketed with pleasure. Zeke gripped her clit with his lips, pulled, then sucked strongly. Excruciating rapture streaked upwards. When she finally moved, about to let go of herself, he lifted his head. “No.” His alpha growl caused her to whimper, and stay positioned as she was. “Zeke,” she began as tongue slid over her sex opening, unbearably tantalizing her sensitive flesh. She moaned loudly as he licked up her slit, the movement deliberate and slow. After dragging the tip of his tongue over her ecstasy-screaming clit, her cowboy halted, pressing his tongue against it.

Zeke breathed in the musky change in his woman’s sexual scent. It was her mating smell, as he thought of it, and his body reveled in it like a stallion rollin’ and taking a dust bath...especially his jutting shaft, that was doin’ some drippin’ of its own. God above, her juices tasted raw, hot. The flavor of his bride coated his tongue, a unique spice that was all her own. Zeke released her nubbin and flicked his tongue down the exposed seam of her voluptuous pussy. She uttered little screams of passion, her carnal song only for his ears.

Did you know there are an amazing number of folks with Phd degrees who are now working as janitors and maids? Nothing wrong with that, except that’s probably *not* the type of job or career they had in mind. Plus, think of the cost of all that education... ~shaking head~

BeSpelled by Strange Dreams


Eleven o’ clock purrs, my autumn-frisky and fantastic Felines... an un-forecasted rainshower and a rumble of thunder that didn’t sound like thunder on the tame prairie early in the evening... the high strangeness never quits these days... and, woweeee, the world is flying by... in four weeks it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas is only about a month away... and, then, the year, 2011... does it even seem possible?

BeSpelled by Strange Dreams ~ Whew! Meow about a succession of strange dreams unlike any this Big Cat has ever known before... it felt as though the Kougaress was caught in the midst of some giant world spell that had been cast to keep everyone dreary in mood, and helpless. Drugs like Prozac had also been added to keep everyone compliant, and under control.

As the Kougaress awoke from these bizzaro hazy dreams, which was an x-files’ experience unto itself, she had the distinct thought... that, what if, waking up to reality, and to so-called normal thinking ... what if that was actually the fantasy, the bewitchment... and what if the world of the so-called shaman, for example... the world of the fae and the paranormal... what if that was the REAL world???
~~~

Big Cat Commentary ~

Wowsers and bent whiskers... the Kougaress can’t recall ever hearing this much reported fraud during an election time... the question being, can any election result be trusted? Even if some of the good gals and guys [regardless of party affiliation, or not] win... really, WHAT IS TRUE???

And, gee, all those non-bursting bombs in the air... what *interesting* timing... yeah, and only going to the countries where folks are standing up for their rights as human beings.

Saints on Parade
Posted by Pat Cunningham

Happy day after Halloween! Still bingeing on candy? Ticked off because the idea for the perfect costume hit right after you got in from trick or treating? Well, forget it. Halloween’s over. It’s All Saints Day now, and I’ve got a list of saints relevant to us as writers and shapeshifter lovers, and a couple of extras to boot. This information comes from the Catholic Online site. Because they have “Catholic” in their name, I’m willing to take their word for it.

AND!

The Kougar is posting on Tuesday, November 2nd ~ here’s snippet...

On a dare, Solandra scried for the oldest shapeshifter in existence. Wisps of the dimensional veil swirled on the surface of her ancient Sumerian mirror. She’d salvaged her treasured mirror from the booty of a pirate warlock.

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #113

The following week will be one of chaos. Triumph and despair will rule the world stage. This will be orchestrated by those who follow the dark force. Take a step back and then make a determination of what stands as ‘truth’ and what does not. This will be critical in how your individual future plays out.

This week many of the mighty will fall into the trap they have set for others. This will not be completely apparent at this time. However, toward the end of November and the beginning of December, much more light will be shed, and the truth will win out.

Be wary this week. There are many on the prowl who seek to take advantage of you in destructive ways. Avoid these situations at all costs because they will not be easily remedied.

On the Good Side, now is the time to bring forth your personal power as never before. You are stronger. Your thought processes are faster. You will know at an intuitive level how to build your life as you choose. Do it.

Angelic blessings from Volcano & Sedona

Happy Courtship on another Earth

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

Part 673 ~

Sylva loosened her thighs and opened to him. Her demanding cowboy husband. She knew he wanted to drive his shaft inside her, and pummel her senseless. Yet, he wanted something else, as well. A carnal need she didn’t quite understand. As he lowered his head, her clit throbbed and jerked, and she trembled. “Pry those wet petals of yours apart.” Even though his tone stroked her like rough velvet, there was no denying him. Sylva reached down, slid her fingertips between her sodden folds and spread her pussy. The cooler air seemed to nip at her clit, and she whimpered.

Zeke fastened his gaze on what belonged to him, his woman’s ripe red sex. He inhaled her rich scent, and only wanting more, he bent down. “Oh, god, Zeke, please, hold my knees... I can’t...” Sliding his palms over her soft Venus curves, he then captured her knees, pressing them into the mattress. “That’s it, darlin’, give me that pokin’ up nubbin of yours.” When she pulled her pussy apart, exposing more of her stiff bud, Zeke flicked his tongue on the tip. The taste of her bulb blazed through him and a bolt of pleasure streaked up his cock.

The Devilish Side


All Hallow’s Day mews and greetings, my gorgeous and ghost-clawing KitKats... here’s hoping you had a lot of devilishly sexy fun... perhaps, you met an ancestor or two, or an interesting apparition... hmmm... it’s early evening on the tame prairie and the day has been coolish, mostly cloudy and definitely Autumn-feeling... omy, this Big Cat has never witnessed such a fast loss of foliage without much colder weather occurring... the wilding nature of the Kougaress’s surroundings, while once like a jungle, is now a mere remnant of itself...
~~~

The Devilish Side... The Kougaress had one of her revelations that she’s mulling over. If you’ve watched the original Star Trek TV series, do you remember the episode where Captain Kirk is split in two? His good side and his evil side. The profound message, to cut to the chase, is Captain Kirk couldn’t be effective in his position as the captain of the Enterprise, as only the good captain. Of course, he wasn’t worth a darn as his evil side, either. So, to be powerful in your life, your light side and your dark side must be in relationship, or married to each other.

What does this have to do with now? Through various mind-bending means, THOSE who want absolute tyrannical rule over Earth, have convinced humanity to split into two. Our natures have been manipulated, so that we are ‘too good’. That is, most of us, want to be good. However, we have been so mentally castrated, so to speak, that we are ineffective. We’ve lost our natural ability to be powerful. To take effective control of our lives. And our destinies.

Not only that, losing the strong side of our natures... or the goody two shoes versus the little devil complex... has split our very psyches, so we are at war with ourselves, and within ourselves... We have been divided and conquered until we decide to ‘marry’ our two sides again.

My Friendly Ghosts
by Bekki Lynn

By special request, I'm reposting my ghostly post from last year. This is for you, Savanna. Enjoy!

I love Halloween. All the movies, good and bad, fill the cable networks. I’ve been watching SyFy and Chiller for the most part. I love vampires, werewolves and the apparitions. The absurdly stupid, the insanely gory – I love the breath-holding, the heart-pounding terror, the jumpiness.

On a disappointing note, the Kougar attempted to enjoy the Halloween Blog Tour 2010, that includes many Liquid Silver Books authors. However, dial-up evidently doesn’t work anymore. It was a hopeless endeavor. Sad sighs and mews.

From Astrology.com ~ November Forecast

As we swing into November 2010, the deliciously passionate and seductive mood of late October continues as Venus still in sexy Scorpio sidles up to Pluto as we begin the month. You can get what you want -- with your charm -- all is fair game if the desire is there!

The Sun continues its determined, secretive path through Scorpio, the miracle making sign of the zodiac. The key to Scorpio's success is determination. Just keep persevering through the ups and downs of life with a laser-like focus and unfaltering will power, and victory shall be yours. When the Sun moves into thoughtful, active, fiery Sagittarius on November 22, joining Mars and Mercury already stationed there, you will be better off for it.

Retrograde Venus slides back into Libra, signs of a close relationship and amiable togetherness on November 8, and moves to Scorpio as we say goodbye to November. On November 18, both Jupiter and Venus turn direct bringing a welcome lift to all of us in both the confidence and romance departments. Retrograde Jupiter turns direct in Pisces, and we are once again given the green light to move forward under the benevolent care of this generous planet.

Passionate and action-oriented Mars in Sagittarius will be raising enthusiasm and noise levels all month, talking animatedly and loudly getting its views heard. A sticky Mars sextile Saturn aspect on November 14-15 hints that self-discipline and hard work will be needed along with grand plans and high hopes for success in our plans. Fortune favours the brave and rewards honest effort!

The Full Moon in earthy Taurus on November 21, will bring on the usual conflict as the Sun moves across the zodiac from the Moon, and this month we will be required to balance the give and take in our lives -- our need for self-indulgence as opposed to our need to be expansive and generous to others -- our need to be demanding as opposed to being cooperative. Try to be all of those things -- and you will be the winner!

Be aware that you do not leap before you look as Mars hits an overly confident, impulsive square to Jupiter on November 29. Being dashing and over-confident at this time may backfire since this aspect may give a false sense of bravado.

Then on the final day of November 2010, Venus purrs back into Scorpio with a sense of deep delight and romance of a transcendent nature is back on the menu until early January!

Happy Courtship on another Earth

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

Part 672 ~

Sylva shuddered with their passionate untamed kisses. The dominant way Zeke framed her head only turned her more molten, more ferocious with need. “Tall in the saddle, just the way I like it,” she murmured while attacking his mouth with hers. “Must be how you like it. The way you’re ridin’,” he rasped, his lips sweetly savaging hers between his words. Fisting her hair, her cowboy tugged as the bed allowed. After raising up, he trailed kisses down her throat and onto her breastbone. Bold branding kisses that sweltered her, and made her yield. His kisses lingered between her breasts.

Zeke tasted his bride’s soft honeyed skin with his lips, then slipped the point of his tongue along the valley of her breasts. His Sylva’s legs clung tight to him now. Her carnal rose dewy and fiery with desire, pressed hard against his cock. Her need was just for him. Feeling mindless as a stud who wanted to mount his mare, Zeke lifted himself higher and fondled her belly with his kisses. She moaned, reaching for him, but he kept hold of her hair, stopping her. “Spread your legs,” he growled. She whimpered, wanting to deny him. But, she obeyed.
