Halloween trickster is at work!


All Hallow's Eve Happiness to one and all.
~~~

Wow... the Kougaress was about to post her bloggie and everything went wonky with the server... yeah, the Halloween trickster is at work!

Wee hours of Halloween-morning mews, supernaturally-gifted Big Cat Beauties... rain! a day of on and off rain with some whipping winds at times, and a thunderclap that shook the floor... the Kougaress is grateful for every last raindrop!  

Looks like the Halloween gremlins got this Big Cat... she made the mistake of signing up for a contest to win the DARE TO PREPARE book at ~standeyo.com~ NOTHING to do with Stan and Holly's website, but the only way to e-send your entry was by one link that didn't display an email addy... so, the nasty saga began when the Kougaress completed the 'main identity' program on her computer... that meant the mailbox then showed up on her computer... which this Big Cat DID NOT WANT... she's only been using the web mail site... so, the upshot at this point, the Kougaress lost emails because she ended up uninstalling the mailbox to get rid of the 'main identity' thing because she didn't know how else to change/stop it... this! after spending valuable time trying to find out how... you're supposed to be able to set it so the emails also show up on the web mail... well, the Kougaress could never find that feature on 'tools'... and the chat online wasn't available because it was on overload... btw, the 'system restore' didn't work either to get rid of that program... yeah, really, this Big Cat doesn't know what she's doing when it comes to this stuff... so she just stumbles around trying to solve it.

Don't let the Halloween Spookies get you, and take care out there, darling kittens. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

Authoress news and mews ~

Only authorly piecemeal stuff got done, and what promo the Kougar could get to, given the whole e-mailbox debacle... what a time-vampire suck!

All Hallow's Eve is upon us, and it's the season of my witch heroine, Kandace, and her beastly but gentlemanly hellhounds, Zol and Zin. When I first decided to write my witch erotic romance, Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds, the foggy swirling tendrils of Halloween had cast its spell over my muse.

The Kougar was to busy to put up more posts at The Romance Studio's SPOOKAPALOOZA party ~trsparties.com~ but she doesn't have much time to take full advantage of the opportunity.

SKINWALKERS from Coast to Coast Am ~ this was absolutely fascinating and horrifying... the Kougaress learned much more about skinwalkers, probably more than she wanted to know. Our world is NOTHING like we're taught in western traditions.

Skinwalkers/ Banshees
Tue 10-29

In the first half, author and paranormal investigator Hoss Lors ~oldironadventure.com~ discussed his years living on a Navajo reservation and his witnessing of the amazing powers of the Skinwalkers, the Navajo name for a type of shape-shifter.

The Kougaress was listening to this show. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE... Quoted from Hoss Lors blog ~ "Lights, Phone, everything went out talking to George Noory!

Ever Want to Be a Witch... not just for Halloween?

My witch heroine, Kandy Apple, is featured at Mia Downing's blog ~miadowning.blogspot.com~
~~~~~~

Long past the witching hour mews, Halloween-rough and ready KitKats... a temp-mild, rainy-mist day, which is so good for the tame prairie... and it looks like more rain is on the way... the Kougaress so hopes so! ... another crazy-busy day with promo-ing for Halloween, as well.
~~~

WOW, while listening to Douglas Dietrich, the renegade historian, at Revolution Radio ~freedomslips.com~ the Kougaress learned this bit of info about werewolves, or lycanthropy.

***definition of lycanthropy by the Free Online Dictionary ... thefreedictionary.com/lycanthropy - ly-can-thro-py (l -k n thr -p ). n. 1. In folklore, the magical ability to assume the form and characteristics of a wolf.***

To continue... in French history there was time period when werewolves ran the land. There are fascinating accounts of shooting these wolf beasts, then finding a dead man instead, usually a prominent citizen. Anyhoo, supposedly as a community safety issue, it was the law, at that time, that you HAD TO BELIEVE in werewolves, or GET THIS: you'd be burned at the stake. Imagine that! If you will.

Today, the Kougar managed more posts at The Romance Studio's SPOOKAPALOOZA party ~trsparties.com~ but she doesn't have much time to take full advantage of the opportunity.

So, when the Kougar was doing research for WHEN A GOOD ANGEL FALLS she ran across these two articles on the worldwide web, and included the 'tunnels' in her 2012 angelic fantasy.

Underground City of Reptilians / Aliens Under Los Angeles

Oct 25 , 2013

~metatech.org/2012-2013/underground_reptilian_alien_city_los_angeles.html

Below are two extracts from the LA Times of 29 January 1934 (from the days before we had so much censorship of news) in the first of which reporter Jean Bosquet details the incredible story of G. Warren Shufelt, a mining engineer, who had been told of the underground city and its treasures by a wise old Indian, had consequently located it via ‘radio X-ray’ and was currently sinking shafts into the ground to reach it. Scroll down to see the article with maps.

...rolling on the black silk stocking...


The Betrayed Witch and the Lone Ranger at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS, Halloween Blog Hop in progress.
~~~~~~

Very early morning mews, Halloween-precocious and pampered KitKats... milder temps today on the tame prairie... and it looks like rain is moving in ~hope,hope~ ... today when the Kougaress ventured outside to toss some gray water on her rose bush, she noticed the beautiful shape one of her trees had grown into... the leaves are just starting to turn a rusty red on this tree... the trees hiding it from view previously have dropped most of their leaves... yes, this Big Cat does love all of her trees.

Update: it began raining about four in the morning... oh happy days!


Another update: The Kougaress got interrupted and then she ran out of energy... so she's posting really late. Some good news... it's still gently raining on the tame prairie.

Watch your beautiful tails, darling kittens. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

Here's the beginning of the Kougar's flash scene...


The Betrayed Witch and the Lone Ranger
by Savanna Kougar  


Shazelle bent at the waist carefully rolling on the black silk stocking -- actually the sheer black pantyhose she'd purchased when shopping at a specialty costume shop in Talbot's Peak. As she adjusted them for comfort, more unbidden tears slid down her cheeks. She reached for yet another tissue, dabbing away the wetness.

Shazelle pressed a cold cloth to her face. Gypsy Red Wolf, her good friend and belly dance instructor, had brought the bowl of water infused with lavender and rose essential oils, after she'd walked Shazelle to her room at the Pleasure Club -- the seduction-splendid room that was supposed to be her All Hallow's Eve honeymoon suite.

~~~

Yes, the Kougar did manage to post at The Romance Studio's SPOOKAPALOOZA party ~trsparties.com~ and check out some of the other posts... but, it's been slow going.

Coming up on the witching hour, Halloween-prowling KitKats... sunny but downright chilly on the tame prairie today... the moon has just been gorgeous this past week... so, gosh, this Big Cat is crazy-busy... yeeowwws!


It's getting rougher out there, darling kittens. Take care, prepare and remember this Big Cat loves ya!

The Phoenix Saga


The Phoenix Saga ~ Two hundred years earlier... at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS.
~~~

The Kougaress found this adorable costume pic while doing a search for horse costumes because of the flash scene she's writing for the Halloween Blog Hop. 

Well past the witching hour 'mews', Halloween-splendiferous KitKats... a lovely Autumn day... however, rain is so needed on the tame prairie... and now it's going down to freezing temps... yesterday, the frosty-orange, half moon rose over the barn... so perfect for a Halloween mood.

Okay, who needs horror when you have a true-telling of history? This question arose in the Kougaress's mind as she listened to the Renegade Historian, Douglas Dietrich at Revolution Radio ~freedomslips.com~ wow, did you know Napoleon murdered over six million people in charcoal ovens? Yeah, 'they' like to keep that little fact out of the public's awareness. And, that's just the tip of the horror-iceberg... meaning ALL the *truth* they've neglected to teach for generation after generation... yeah, on purpose to keep the people ignorant.

A good thing... the Kougar is paragraphs away from finishing her revision of RED LIONESS TAMED... which is being interrupted since this Big Cat needs to pen her HALLOWEEN BLOG HOP flash scene... yep, she writing it now, because the hop begins on Monday, the 28th at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS.

Also, the Kougar posted -- once she found out how -- at The Romance Studio's SPOOKAPALOOZA party ~trsparties.com~ now she's checking out the other posts. Halloween smiles, indeed. Depending on her available time, she'll be posting more promo excerpts, etc.

TYBURN AND RACHEL's SAGA CONTINUES
by Solara


Tyburn sprinted down the hall following Rachel.  Two hundred years earlier, he would have let her go sob her eyes out, throw things, and yell.  The old Tyburn was a certified jackass.   One that died a well needed death.  The new Tyburn needed to apologize and console Rachel.

Rachel wouldn’t believe him.  She’d put a good fight.  He didn’t blame her.  The day he decided to change threw everyone off guard.

Coming up on midnight mews, Halloween-bewitched and bothered Big Cats... Autumn-chilly temps on the tame prairie... the Kougaress saw an intriguing cloud formation when she went down to her mailbox... first she noticed a long streaming cloud across the southern portion of the very blue sky... then, ahead of this long misty stream was a cloud that looked like an eagle in flight... it was absolutely gorgeous and clearly defined... as this Big continued down her drive the cloud remained, slightly altering into what looked like a type of eagle-shaped aircraft... whatever this cloud was, or was not, it was an absolutely amazing and inspiring sight.


Looks like more earthquakes will be happening. Keep your loved ones close, darling kittens, and take care of each other. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

Erol...The Triple Threat!
by Serena Shay


“Stop…stop…stop.  I can’t breathe.”  Greely bent at the waist, held her sides and sucked desperately at the air.

“This is not funny, woman!”

“Yeah,” she wheezed, “it kinda is.”

“Greely…”

The warning in his voice told her she really needed to stop the crazy laughter, but with every buck and snort the giggles increased adding to his frustration.  “You need to calm down, Erol.”

Trail in his fiery horse form...

Trail in his fiery horse form... the hero of the Kougar's Stallion of Ash and Flame, is having some Halloween fun spooking the children shapeshifters and supernaturals of Talbot's Peak.
 

Wee hours of the morning mews, Halloween-sexy vamp KitKats... freezing temps tonight... and it is darn cold on the tame prairie... the carpet of leaves crackles beneath your feet in the special Autumn way.

So, the Kougaress had an interesting experience today... it was closing in on four in the afternoon and this Big Cat was standing by her east-facing window... reflected on the back, tinted-glass window of her transport was an image of the sun... fascinated, the Kougaress stared for a quite awhile because these days you can't look directly at the sun... anyway, prism colored rays emanated from around this sun image... and as this Big Cat continued to stare, two objects appeared, as in two suns... sure, it could have been an optical illusion of some kind... but given all the info out there, the Kougaress rather doubts it was merely an optical illusion... anyway, the image went back and forth from one disc to two discs that weren't completely separated... it appeared as if one object was behind what was likely the sun... so, obviously, draw your own conclusions, darlings.


Lots of chaos coming down the road, darling kittens. Take care, beware and don't let your guard down. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

Here's a pic of the Horse Whispering Witch from the Kougar's flash scene at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS. 
 
 The nearly full moon blazed high in the midnight sky, an unnatural light to Sibelle's knowledgeable eye. Alarm chilled her blood. Gently pulling on the reins she halted the magnificent, pale gold stallion she rode.

Coming up on midnight mews, Halloween spook-fabulous Kittens... chilly Autumn day on the tame prairie... the Kougaress has a large pokeberry plant growing outside her window... which she leaves to feed the birds... anyway, this afternoon she watched several cardinals, girls and boys, flitting on and off the pokeberry plant which is abundant with berries... one cute cardinal girl used it as a perch to look around for a bit.

Take care, darling kittens, and watch out for each other. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

The thing about Marissa
by Rebecca Gillan


“Hey Mooney, how’s it hangin’?”

Mooney looked up from the beer bottle he’d been alternately nursing and peeling the label off of to see Mayor Gil walking up to him. He nodded once and then chugged the last few swallows before waving the empty over his head. By the time Gil had made it over to the back booth he’d taken over, the waitress was arriving with a tray of five more. She didn’t take the previous empties, though. He’d chased her away the first time she’d tried to.

“You’ve got about $20 left on the Benjamin you started off with, Moon-dawg,” she said flirtatiously as she set the next round down on the table. He didn’t reply, so she shrugged and went away.

“You planning on tipping your wait staff?” Gil asked archly as he slid into the booth opposite him.

“I tipped both her and the bartender when I first came in,” he rumbled.

Is sandy imprint proof of bigfoot? Man says sasquatch has moved next door

The owner of a remote home in California's rural Tehama County says a bigfoot has moved into the woodland behind his house.

The man, named only as Ken S to protect his identity, says the sasquatch arrived about two weeks ago and has been throwing rocks at him and responding to hunting-style calls.

When Ken called in a team of experts to investigate, they found a footprint and claimed to catch the mysterious 15ft tall creature on an infrared camera. ~dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2473148/Is-sandy-imprint-proof-bigfoot-Man-says-sasquatch-moved-door.html

Way after midnight mews, Halloween-rambunctious KitKats... a lovely day on the tame prairie but the temps are falling to frost level... wow, the Kougaress is feeling her lack of sleep right now.

...transmuted into enormous horse-beasts...  

Dante raised his hand, a signal to silence his motorcycle posse. He and his biker buddies were blood-fierce to roundup his sire's pack of mutant werewolf henchman. Because of Marissa's angry spell they'd been transmuted into enormous horse-beasts.

Unable to shift, they ran amok terrorizing anyone or any animal who crossed their path. On the good side, Dante reminded himself, there'd been no serious attacks, no devouring. Yet. The horse-beasts were so crazed at their magick-induced condition they unceasingly stampeded as a herd, following the forest trails and racing over the high prairie.

"Are you certain your powers are strong enough?" he asked the newest witch to make her home in the Peak.

Wee hours of the morning, Halloween-spooktacular Big Cats... lovely Autumn day on the tame prairie... but oh the nights have been chilly... ~shiver, shiver~

THERE'S NOW A GRAND PRIZE OF A $40 AMAZON GIFT CARD. And, of course, all the blog hop participants will be offering a variety of fab-tacular prizes.

Yep, the Kougar needs to write her Tuesday post for SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS. She's been toying around with an idea that fits into the current storyline... however, she doesn't know how long her energy will last... so, we'll see...

~~~

What a busy, busy day of Monday promo-ing, and also setting up an updated list of promo sites... yeah, this Big Cat author really needs an assistant for this kind of stuff, but she doesn't have the funds to pay anyone. It's always that dilemma of promo versus writing, and how much time to spend on each. In this case, the life stuff she has to get done anyway is more conducive to promo... then, that's what gets done.

...imaginary [but, is it?] town of Talbot's Peak...


Yes, the Kougar has yet to write her Tuesday post for SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS... since the fair shapeshifter town of Talbot's Peak has been overrun by horses... all due to a misplaced impromptu spell by one of our witches, the beautiful blue-haired Marissa... yep, all galloping heck has been released... and well, where is this breaking story headed?
~~~

Late Monday mews, Halloween-frisky-risky Pussycats... much colder on the tame prairie but the weather has been Autumn-beautiful during the daytime... the fallen leaves are covering the ground now... and the day before as the Kougaress gazed out her fave west-facing window, the sun blasted through in a way that was pure magic... the white beams felt empowering while the Fall air smelled purely delicious... one of those sweet enchanting moments in life.

Take care, darling kittens. So much is headed toward us like a derailed, explosive-filled, runaway train. Remember, this Big Cat loves ya!

TYBURN’S TAKE ON THINGS
by Solara


 Tyburn quietly motioned his valet and secretary forward.   Rachel’s decision to invoke the royal vow of silence said more than all her spoken words leading up to her statement concerning it.  During his last four hundred plus years, he missed her more than he realized.  Twice in the last decade, he tried searching for her.  She’d covered her trail wonderfully.  A few clues surfaced here and there.  None gave away her exact location or information about her.  It wasn’t until he began reminiscing in his private journal that Tyburn began remembering the little things that endeared Rachel to him early in their arranged marriage.

once upon a time... the nude purple fairy...

The purple stripe zebra shapeshifter is moving to the wilds of Talbot's Peak in a future flash scene... yes, fun-silliness sometimes abounds at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS.

Closing in on midnight mews, Halloween-wild and wooly KitKats... a cold rainy Autumn day on the tame prairie... at least for most of today... the rain is such a blessing... thank you, Divine... around nine in the evening, the full moon did appear high in the eastern sky despite the clouds... Miss Moon was a glorious white blaze of light.... yes, another too-long weirdling day for this Big Cat... however, finally one major problem was solved... what a relief!

So, a big THANK YOU to Roxy Lopez of THE TRUTH DENIED ~thetruthdenied.com~ ... and her guest, Chris Kehler. Chris used a form of sacred geometry, demonstrating how this circular device heals, or takes negative energy out of the body, even over the phone and computer.

WOW! DOUBLE WOW! TRIPLE WOW! The Kougaress experienced a fantabulous healing, which seems to be ongoing. The sensations were amazing and this Big Cat could list several improvements in her condition. However, it would take time, energy, and too much writing space. One result was being able to breathe deeper, and much more normally. Here's the info if you want check it out for yourself.

Friday, October 18th, 2013 7-9 PM (CST) at Revolution Radio ~freedomslips.com~: Quantum Energy Health with Chris Kehler ~chriskehler.net~
Chris kehler is a "quantum energy practitioner" who uses the pendulum/chart method of finding the ROOT of a health problem within a person, animal or plant. Once that information is obtained, Chris then uses "sacred geometry " such as pyramids to "neutralize" the stressor in the body. Stressors like virus, bacteria, parasites and heavy metals are moved out of the body Immediately. Chris also works on such problems like spiritual attachments, soul issues, chakra imbalances etc.

Be careful out there, darling kittens. Some tricky dicky happenings are forming against all the GOOD people, just because you are good and refuse evil. Remember, this Big Cat loves ya!

The Nude Purple Fairy Returns to Talbot's Peak ~ a further note about the origin of the Peak's nude purple fairy... once upon a time the Kougar checked the search terms for SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS... yes, *nude purple fairy* was one of the search terms -- silly as that seems ... however, we authors got a kick out of it... and thus, was born the elusive and naked-streaking purple fairy.

A Horse is a Horse - Unless...
by Serena Shay


“Come on, Jonesy, go get your paint on while I finish with this.”

“No.”

“Don’t flake on me now, cuz.  This is going to be awesome!”

“Says the guy who won’t be sporting purple balls for the next month!  And I really don’t get that.”  Jonesy pointed to the cardboard cut-out now painted in offset purple stripes.

PARANORMAL AUTHORS/ASPIRING AUTHORS ~ Good informative show...

Magic Spells & Saints ~coasttocoastam.com/show/2013/10/17~

Date: 10-17-13
Host: George Noory
Guests: Judika Illes, Tim Ball

World-class spell collector, psychic practitioner, scholar, and teacher, Judika Illes, offers encyclopedic knowledge of the sacred, helpful mystics, saints, and sages from a large variety of religious traditions. She shared the various ways these beings and traditions can be used to help illness, unemployment and more. "The purpose of a magic spell is not to hurt other people, but to improve your life," she said. A spell is putting out energy, but one should not cast spells from a place of fear, she advised. If you are feeling fearful, she suggested praying or calling out to certain sages that will never harm you such as Michael the Archangel, and Kuan Yin, the Buddhist saint.

Almost any ingredient or object can be used in a spell-- the most important aspect is having a strong, specific goal or desire, she remarked. "A magic spell is always done in the present tense, and you want to visualize your goal as already accomplished." So, if for instance, you are sick, you have to see yourself as already healed, she explained. "The more focused you can make it, the more concrete in your head," the more likely a spell will work, Illes continued.

She spoke about hexes, which are a kind of spell, often done with objects that have negative associations such as cactus needles and dirt from cemeteries. Antidotes to hexes sometimes involve sending them back to wherever they came from, she stated. Illes talked about some lesser known saints, and popular folk saints such as Santa Muerte. This skeleton saint is considered to be an angel of death, "and like death, she welcomes everyone. People are often uncomfortable with saintly saints. Because if they have an occupation that is perceived as sinful...they feel they will be rejected. But everyone dies, the rich, the poor, the good, the bad, and so there are people who feel very comfortable invoking Santa Muerte for assistance. Among the things she does is protect people in dangerous professions, and dangerous neighborhoods," she detailed.

Tiger Horse in Talbot's Peak

 


Wow, talk about a dream come true. The Kougar would love to have a tiger horse... and of course, so would one of her heroines.

Lunar eclipse yowls, Halloween-capricious and cute KitKats... to quote from ~astrology.com~ "This powerful full Moon will rise in fiery Aries opposite the harmonious Libra Sun." ... a windy lovely Autumn day on the tame prairie... the Kougaress had to get up hours earlier than normal, so she didn't get much sleep... she did get a lot accomplished... so, one serious problem got partially solved today, but now there's another glitch. ~sighs~

More world-event chaos ahead, darling kittens. Watch your tails and take care. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

Why Is There a Tiger Horse in Talbot's Peak?

Puca-men: gotta catch them all!
by Rebecca Gillan


The song of the grandfather clock in the corner was unnaturally load, echoing in the room with every swing of the pendulum. Marissa was looking everywhere but at the man sitting behind the massive walnut desk that dominated the spacious office.

Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock...

"Fine," she said eventually, staring down at her hands like a guilty child. "I admit it. I set the curse in a fit of temper."

BY THE TAIL
by Pat Cunningham


(I just had to get in on this …)

Dash pulled the horse trailer into the compound’s front yard and climbed warily out of the cab. He eyed the man who briskly approached him with even greater suspicion. It wasn’t so much the gun as the scent the man carried. Dash snorted a warning. He couldn’t help himself. No horse, or horse shifter, could ever fully be at ease around the smell of big cat.

How Does a Talbot's Peak Werewolf...

 
Become a Horse of a Different Color? at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS.
~~~

The Lady Godiva Costume Party... Bring Your Favorite Stallion... wouldn't the Kougaress love attending that party! And another wonderful heroine who needs her own happily ever after. 
~~~~~~

Half past midnight mews, Halloween-fantasy Felines... chilly Autumn days are here on the tame prairie... there was even a spot of rain earlier... but much more rain is needed, please oh please, Great Divine... what a crazed day for this Big Cat... yeah, for one thing the Kougaress is battling a tech issue with a financial institution... the whole security system setup is basically ridiculous as far as correcting anything in a logical way... you might as well give the *garbage-in-garbage-out* machine total control... which means, of course, the machine becomes a god... and humans are now nil... and so it goes... ~great big sigh~

Okay, darling kittens, it's getting strangely wicked out there and that's not even the Howloween vibes on the prowl. So take care, prepare, and stare down the machine. And remember, this Big Cat loves ya!
~~~~~~

Authoress news and mews ~

Yep yowls, the Kougar is revising the last chapter of RED LIONESS TAMED... so, maybe she can get this sci fi erotic romance out there and available sometime relatively soon... she never knows, given the continuing craziness of her life situation.

How Does a Werewolf...

A wolf in a horse coat
by Rebecca Gillan


"Wow, babe," Mooney said, a disconcerted look smeared across his beautifully rugged face. "What kind of costume shop did you get that 'werewolf' get-up from?"

Marissa put down the mask that she'd been holding up to her face. It was one of those professional Fx masks that was supposed to be glued on with spirit gum. She had thought it looked pretty darn good.

She glared at him and shoved the packaging at him before grabbing the mask back up. She turned her back on him and held the mask up to her face and studied it in the mirror.

"Babe, I don't want to piss you off, but even albino wolves have hair," Mooney said as he looked at the picture.

The nearly full moon blazed high in the midnight sky...

...at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS.

Wow, early morning mews already, Halloween-divine and dancing Big Cat Beauties... time has escaped today... mild weather on the tame prairie, and the temps have fallen fast tonight... it's downright chilly out there... busy-craziness for the Kougaress from the moment she opened her eyes to now... all while the world goes hyper insane.

So much is coming down right now, darling kittens, dare to prepare. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!
~~~~~~

Authoress news and mews ~

Hey, kiddo kittens, the Kougaress chose her winner for the HALLOWEEN FLASH FICTION BASH at author, Karen Nutt's blog ~kmnbooks.blogspot.com~ Remember! There are more prizes too! And fab-spooky flash fiction to check out.


Okay then, more progress on finishing the revisions of RED LIONESS TAMED... and some formatting got done too. The Kougar is eager to get on to her next writing project. She's toying with the idea of using Createspace to put HER MIDNIGHT STARDUST COWBOYS in print... however, she doesn't know if she's up to that tech-task.

Horse Whispering Witch
by Savanna Kougar


Halloween-anticipating howls and yowls, shapeshifter lovers.

Really, can you believe it? The middle of October already. Autumn colors are just now making their appearance in my neck of the woods. And the air is crisper... and it's finally raining, a beautiful rain soaking into the land.

A bit of promo-ing here. We'll be participating in a Halloween blog hop, so be on the lookout for spooktacular fun and prizes.

Okay, Pat got me in the mood to write a flash scene with a horse shapeshifter. And it is the season of the witch, after all.

~~~~~~

Horse Whispering Witch

The nearly full moon blazed high in the midnight sky, an unnatural light to Sibelle's knowledgeable eye. Alarm chilled her blood. Gently pulling on the reins she halted the magnificent, pale gold stallion she rode.

As she studied the moon's strange radiance, the voluminous hood of her long black cloak slipped from her head. Sibelle carefully sent out tendrils of psi energy. No use in being discovered by dangerous entities who were psychically advanced.

INDIE AUTHORS UNDER SERIOUS ATTACK 'INFO' ~ via the  IndieRomanceInk@ yahoogroups.com

Once again, darlings, *innocent* Indie authors are being brutalized on the pretext of the 'few rotten apples' out there who are writing incest and bestiality fiction. Of course, this type of unlawful practice should be monitored and simply removed from a site's catalog. However, that's not what is happening. There is a wholesale TAKEDOWN of ebooks without any manner of sane review.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, the Kougar's ebooks are still available at Amazon and Kobo. Obviously, that status could change by the looks of things.

Here's a bit of the info being talked about at IndieRomanceInk@ yahoogroups.com

"My concern is that they will soon start pulling all self-pubbed titles on all e-retailers, singling out these authors. And I bet the large, traditional publishers are jumping for joy right now. They've lost a lot of business and money due to the fact that authors have gotten business savvy and learned to do it on their own, cutting out the "middle man".

This entire episode is enough to scare first time indie authors like myself into tucking tail and running right back to the submission process. I don't write erotica or explicit graphic content, but looks like even covers and keywords are under fire for anyone in the romance genre that is self-pubbed."
~~~

"What strikes me as incredibly hypocritical is they don't seem concerned about traditionally pubbed books with equally graphic content. Haven't all these booksellers made a killing selling the 50 Shades series? And it's not just Kobo. See below:"

***Prominent e-tailers are taking down self-published ebooks following reports that sites like Amazon and Kobo had unwittingly made pornographic content available.

And in the UK, WH Smith has gone so far as to take its entire site offlineuntil "all self published ebooks have been removed and we are totally sure that there are no offending titles available."

In an attempt to keep such content from populating sites like WH Smith that get ebooks from Kobo via an automated feed, the company is pulling down titles that independent authors uploaded using Draft2Digital. In reply to DBW's request for comment, a Kobo spokesperson explained, "Kobo has reviewed its catalogue and removed the content, authors and publishers in question."***
