Christmas Scrooge Lion... certainly 'not' my hero, Dylan. Late night purrs, my amazing, holiday-rushing Starcats... the ultra fast ride through life continues... more gray and rain on the tame prairie, and was it warm, in the lower sixties for awhile... a dreary day, yes, but the moisture is so needed... last night, there was thunderstorm with lightning, strange lightning... nothing like the type this Big Cat grew up with... yowls, these are strange, beyond strange times. ~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~ Purple Silk BooksDue to circumstances beyond the Kougar's control, PURPLE SILK BOOKS is now launched... sort of... Explanation: To sign up for Indie publishing at BOOKSTRAND, the Kougar needed a different name and another email addy... thus... She is now the proud of owner of this publisher name. ~~~
Also, SANTA BABY, SEVERAL STARS AWAY... is still at the top of the Kougar's books on Amazon... at least, when she last checked. ~~~
Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Best Fish Story Ever!by Rebecca Gillan This is the best fish story EVER! I found this on Face Book. I know not everyone does the FB thing, so I'm going to cross-post the whole thing with pictures. This story comes from the Second Chance Ranch in Washington State.********************************************Some fishing stories are a little hard to believe, But this guy has pictures to prove his story...Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat."Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed.~~~~~~

Nearing midnight meows, my fabulously furred Felines... nice and rainy on the tame prairie, and fairly mild today... these getting-darker days are no fun, though... what a whirlwind of a day per usual in these times. ~~~~~~
Pampering the Heart ~ Some Heroes Know ... the Kougaress never thought of it in this way until she began considering how Cait expressed it in a promo for her blog [see below]. That is, the emotional connection between a woman and a man, or between any lovers, if they are to have a happily ever after, is absolutely crucial. In life, the more ways you can connect with your partner and those you love, the better and more fulfilling your relationships will be. Both women and men need connections with each other to thrive, to live, and not merely exist. That is the human heart, and who we are as beings in this grand universe. In truth, emotional pampering is something this Big Cat knows little about and has not experienced that often... except, through the heroines and heroes she writes about... and by being around couples and families who do pamper each other emotionally... whether by instinct, intuition or by learning how... or all of the previous. So, the great big ah-ah realization... the more a hero knows how to pamper his heroine's heart, or his lover's heart... the more the heroine/lover will respond, and at some point she/he will return that way of loving, and pamper the hero in ways that mean the most to him. The Kougaress believes this is especially true for all of us goddesses. Most of us, no matter how tough we are, have a huge ole tender spot in our hearts. It beats strong and real and despite our personal trials and tribulations. As well, some of us are die-hard romantics, and we crave that type of attention to our hearts. It means the world to us. It means we are loved. Heroes who appeal to that tender spot in the heart, heroes who pamper our emotions, and show real caring... well, if betrayal doesn't occur... then, love blossoms full flower, and keeps on blooming for a lifetime... and, even into eternity for immortal heroines and heroes. ~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~ Kinda cool. The Kougar just checked her Amazon page and SANTA BABY, SEVERAL STARS AWAY is her bestselling ebook right now, with that particular vendor. Promo and, yes, more promo... today the Kougar updated her author page at Romance Reviews, also. Going with her authorly mood to write about Christmas Stallions, the Kougar created more characters for Talbot's Peak ~ Black Diamond, Dream Catcher and their heroine, Serenity. ~~~
Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Stallion Shifters for Christmas by Savanna Kougar "Whinny, whinny," Dash answered the stable's phone. Merry rolled a disapproving eye at him -- the very reason he'd done it. Later he would give her a spirited ride to make up for his stud ornery ways -- as she phrased it. Dash flicked his inner horse tail as he checked out caller ID. "Yeah, what are you huntin' for?" He'd stressed 'hunting' since Zance was a wolf shifter. "By the way, never did buy you that tankard of Dante's finest ale for chasing off the pack hanging around the back pasture. Knew they weren't any of the locals." "Nope. Not why I contacted. Got a situation here, and a favor to ask." Zance didn't take even take a breath, and Dash heard the near desperation in his rumble-raspy voice. "Yeah, owe ya. What is it?" "Sherilyn, one of the human ranchers. She got hurt real bad. Saved her, and me and Dontoya are carin' for her. But, she's got some extra fancy horses...""Seen 'em," Dash interrupted. "For a human she knows how to breed equines, bring out the best qualities. Hurt, did you say?" ~~~
Fun and Fascinating blog. Cait expresses herself beautifully about the importance of emotional pampering in her promo, as well. Old world beauty...or how to pamper yourself a la Catherine de MedicPosted by: "Cait Reynolds" Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:30 am (PST)Today on Artifex Amor, we talk about beauty, and specifically the amazing beauty products I discovered from Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy.One of the reasons we all enjoy romance so much is that it's an emotional pampering. Well, time to pamper your body as well as your heart. Take a bubble bath today, put on a whiff of perfume, or just simply moisturize (how many times do we forget to do that? I know I do!). ~ artifexamor.blogspot.com ~ Enjoy!CaitPortrait of Desire, Book 1, La Belle Epoque~ bookstrand.com/portrait-of-desire Duet of Desire, Book 2, La Belle Epoque~ bookstrand.com/duet-of-desire~~~~~~

An interesting article from ~ news.yahoo.com ~ How to Grow a Salad in Your WindowBy Bill Weir, C. Michael Kim & David MillerFirst pass under a rumbling elevated subway and then walk up five flights of stairs, there you'll find a bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables growing in an apartment window. Chives, red leaf lettuce, sage, basil, even strawberries, all growing above each other and next to each other like Hollywood squares.We're in the Brooklyn apartment of Britta Riley, the founder of Windowfarms and she's invited us to her Brooklyn loft to check out the future of urban, home farming.A Windowfarm is a vertical hydroponic farm that's set up in a window and can grow certain fruits, vegetables and herbs year round based on the season, even in winter. To feed the plants, a clear plastic tube is connected to a pump on a timer that circulates a nutrient rich solution directly to your plants root systems.Up until now, Windowfarms have all been homemade, crafted from plastic bottles and other materials listed on the open source Windowfarms website free for anyone to use. There are already nearly 25,000 window farmers, but due to $250,000 in funding raised by a recent Kickstarter campaign, a commercially manufactured Windowfarm will be available for pre-order this weekend, and delivered in March.Growing your own food at home is rewarding, economical and as fresh as you can get. Literally rip a piece of basil or sage and cook with it while it's still alive. Pledge $99 to the kickstarter campaign and have a window farm mailed to you when they begin shipping in March. If you can't wait, visit the website and learn how to make your own.~~~ ~ windowfarms.org ~ Windowfarms lets indoor farmers grow indoors with a window garden using organic and sustainable products.

Pic from Coast to Coast am ~ Lunar EclipseI was about 20 to 30 miles away from that mountain when I took this photo. It was taken right around the corner from my house at Indian Mountain in Como, Colorado. News reports stated that there would be an almost blood red color during the eclipse, but I did not see anything like that. The photo is pretty much the way it appeared and I am very happy with how it came out.--Pat McAvoy ~~~
Good tidings to one and all, my holiday-reveling Felines... overcast, but no rain on the tame prairie today... darn it! A busy, eye-crossing day for this Big Cat... life has become non-stop, except for falling into bed for some much-needed sleep. ~~~~~~
As the AWAKENING soars...Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...Angelic Forecast ~ #171 The following week is likely to be a strange one in several respects. What is called the 'paranormal' is making itself known to humanity. This will be on a large scale, so much so it will become undeniable to many.Also, from this point forward, intuition, psychic abilities will increase dramatically, especially for those who welcome these powers. If you feel a sudden imbalance in these abilities, it is wise to consult with someone who is already familiar with this part of the human nature.During the midweek there will be event(s) on the world stage that could be, at their core, puzzling, even random. However, the truth behind them will be revealed. The knowledge of this truth will coalesce into a widespread protest against the system. This protest will be ignored by the powers-that-be, and by their media henchmen.Once again, 'space' becomes a major story with the real truth hidden from the public. Many in the know are tired of the spin and the lies. They will begin telling All to anyone who can spread the word.On a personal level, if your world seems to tilt or become off kilter this week as you prepare for the holidays, the best remedy is to engage in the activities that are most enjoyable to you. Music will also act as a balm, and will help you think clearly.Right now, there are several undercurrents rising more and more to the surface. As the AWAKENING soars, the rise of the renegade, the rise of the magician, the rise of the feminine, and the rise of the artist, will be in direct conflict with the agenda of the soulless ones. These global elite, as they are sometimes called, will tighten the reins of their tyranny.This tightening will be enforced by an increased use of the military, and come in the form of severe economic controls. At this time, freedom is in a fight for its very life. In the year, 2012, freedom will stand or fall. It's all up to humanity, and those who are assisting humanity to live free.Once again, prepare as you are able. Lay in stocks of food and water, plus all the necessities you normally use. The weather will become unpredictable at times, the storms brutal in some areas of the country, and all over the planet. It is only wise to prepare.With the activity on sun about to ramp up, there could be electronic failures during the next three weeks, and likely beyond. Become adaptable in your ability to communicate with others.This Christmas season miracles will abound, and there will be more major miracles this week -- both worldwide, and on a personal level. Be on the lookout, and be appreciative for yours. These 'true miracles' will take place amidst the chaos and the unraveling that is escalating across the globe at a mind-bending rate.Trendwise, a new independence emerges. Any product or service that assists in an independent way of living, especially for growing food, and producing energy, will be a successful venture.As more of heaven falls to Earth, guided by the hand of the angels, know we are all being transformed in wondrous ways. Know also, now is the time to anchor yourselves to each other in love, and in true community. Angelic blessings from Volcano & Sedona~~~~~~MORE...Volcano’s Angelic Forecast for this week ~ sirenbookstrand.blogspot.com ~ ~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~Yep, the big Monday promo push for SANTA BABY, SEVERAL STARS AWAY... because so many of the loops designate Monday as author promo day. Of course, the Kougar forgot to put in the 99 cents price. She's not used to including the price since with her published books it varies with the particular vendor. And speaking of... ARe approved this Big Cat's publisher status. So she'll upload Santa Baby there, hopefully in the various formats. The Kougar did send her file to a pro to convert it. However, if it's not done in a timely manner... well, she'll give it a go. Oh crazy days and crazed sighs, this Big Cat isn't certain she's even remembering all of her authorly news, so much is happening all at once. And, she still needs to pen her flash for her Tuesday post at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS. ~~~
Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Every Dog-Damn Yearby Pat Cunningham“Grab your coat, Ewing,” Chase called into the lunchroom. “We’ve got another one.”“Already?” Bo eyed his veggie sub with regret, then wrapped the remains and stuck it in the fridge. He hooked his jacket with the EMT patch off the back of his chair. “Don’t they ever learn?”“Nope,” Chase said amiably. “They’re pups. Every year they have to learn the same lessons all over again. You telling me you never did stupid things when you were a kid?”“Of course I did. I just did different stupid things.” Bo shook his head. “It’s always wolves. What is it with you mutts?” ~~~

The Kougaress began listening to Christmas music... there's just something wonderful about it, and she adores all kinds. Sunday into Monday meows, my Big Beautiful Holiday Cats... milder temps on the tame prairie today, but about eight in the morning the fog was pea-soup thick... always eerie looking... once again, the moon is silvery-peach gorgeous over the barn this evening... whew-mew! what a long authorly day for this Big Cat author... she is worn out. ~~~~~~

Note: This preview of the weekly angelic forecast is from Volcano, my hero in WHEN A GOOD ANGEL FALLS. ~~~~~~ Authoress news and mews ~ ONCE AGAIN! Thank you to everyone who commented and came by SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS for The Jingle Bell Hop. The Kougar took the tour today, and enjoyed every Romancing and erotically Merry Moment of it. Kudos to all the participating authors. Also, thanks to those who stopped by for Six Sentence Sunday at Title Magic. And, gosh, the Kougar nearly forgot about her post because she was so crazy-busy with other authorly stuff. ~~~
Okay then, this afternoon the Kougar checked the Amazon ranking for SANTA BABY, SEVERAL STARS AWAY, and, yes, it's moving up. Nothing spectacular yet, but so cool. Although, saleswise, the royalties are higher for authors through Smashwords. That said, is this Big Cat grateful for any and all sales of her books from whatever vendor. Sparkly holiday smooches coming your way, everyone! ~~~~~~

Dylan, my hero's special friends on Earth. Saturday into Sunday purrs and grrrs, my resplendent and risque Kitten Kats... oh, the moon, the moon... Luna has never looked so brilliant... as she rose beside the barn in the early evening, the moon had a peach-gold cast, and was like a small sun in appearance... the Kougaress has to wonder where all this extra light is coming from... or is it that the atmosphere has changed and thinned... or both... yeah, NASA ~ NEVER A STRAIGHT ANSWER ~ as the agency is known in some circles. What a shame Americans paid and pay for NASA and only get thrown the crumbs... as well, only crumbs of truth... maybe. ~~~~~~
Got a lot of holiday rhythm in my soul... the Kougaress heard a blues jazz song with the lyric 'got a lot of rhythm in my soul' and she thought of her New Year's WIP starring Sherilyn and her two cowboy shapeshifter heroes, Zance and Dontoya. It turns out in her twenties Sherilyn was a secret pinup model for a photographer/artist. As far as Zance and Dontoya, they are from an ancient time when the American Southwest was a thriving, space-age culture. They know where some of the ancient spiritual technology has been safely hidden away, and they know to use it... but, not to mention, they love their ranching lifestyle. Yeah, this Big Cat would never have guessed her heroine had that type of past. ~~~~~~

Midnight yowls and howls, my full moon, shapeshifting Big Cats... what a long biz day! ...with the trees bare-limbed it's easier to see the birds flitting about... those cardinals are so adorable... and the nearly full moon as she rose in the east was a gorgeous, bright pale gold... looks like there will be an eclipse visible on the west coast and in Hawaii. ~~~~~~
This Big Cat's mind must be in the proverbial gutter these days. Or, this is what happens when you become an erotic romance author. Today the Kougar was reading a bloggie with a web address that began with "busycooks'. Well, the Kougaress first saw it as *busycocks*. ~~~~~~
Authoress news and mews ~ Okay, my darling Kittens, the Kougar successfully uploaded SANTA BABY, SEVERAL STARS AWAY to Kindle, and is now waiting for approval to go live. She hasn't heard back from AllRomanceEbooks yet confirming her publisher status. The Kougar also attempted to sign up to publish with BookStrand. However, there was a snafu, so she sent an email to clarify matters, hopefully. ~~~
