Cravings...
By Serena Shay

 
Nick looked over this week’s layout on the computer screen and liked what he saw.  The articles were all well placed and wrapped around the graphics.  There was no unnecessary white space and the headers and leads were appropriately sized. This week’s edition of the gazette was going off without a hitch, which meant, something else was about to implode.

Yeah, that went against the whole power of positive thinking mantra, but so far in his life, this was the norm.  Good in one area meant difficulty in the other.

Late night mews, gorgeous and spiffy Kitkats... humid and warm on the tame prairie today... on her trek down to the mailbox the Kougaress saw several white butterflies or what she thought of as angel butterflies flitting about... gosh yowls, though, what a rough day! 2014 has been no picnic for this Big Cat... that's for darn certain... and, yeah, that's why she has to keep changing when her bloggies get posted.

Witch's Moon, Chapter 4.2
By Rebecca Gillan


Sorry about the late post. give me a three day weekend and I spend the next two weeks running a day behind! Here's the next chunk of the story. As always, if you want to read up on the rest of the story, the posts are linked in order on my page.

On a side note, this scene gave me great fits of giggles to write. It may or may not get tweaked a bit before the final release. We'll have to see.

* * * * * * * *

I couldn’t blame people for getting out of his way. Mooney McMahon is a force of nature in his snug, low slung jeans and skin tight shirt. He had a beautiful body and every ripple of muscle showed as he stalked toward me. I tried to tamp down on the little quiver of lust starting up in my bully but it didn’t work. His body language was advertising just how good he’d be in bed and my inner goddess was listening loud and clear.

The Demon Dog Angel Amongst Us
by Savanna Kougar 


The Good Lord knew -- as well as Satan, of course -- being a half breed angel and demon dog shifter had its share of gigundis and wacky challenges. Long ago...during the turn of the century...when the world spun like a maddened dervish teetering between great enlightenment or the darkness of war and oppression...Dhraki had gone renegade.

Disgusted down to his demon-angel bones, he'd refused service to the Light Force and the Dark Side. Why waste his eternal life, such as it was...even with the constant, high-strange harshness of it all...on this backwater, prison planet?

"Amazon’s power over the publishing and bookselling industries is unrivaled in the modern era. Now it has started wielding its might in a more brazen way than ever before.

Seeking ever-higher payments from publishers to bolster its anemic bottom line, Amazon is holding books and authors hostage on two continents by delaying shipments and raising prices. The literary community is fearful and outraged — and practically begging for government intervention."

UPDATE: A Much Clearer Photo of the Kansas Triangle PLUS more Photos
This photo of the unknown aircraft that flew over Kansas City at high altitude last week makes it clear that this isn't a known plane. It's not a stealth bomber because it doesn't have the characteristic jagged trailing edge. While it's unusual for classified aircraft to fly over populated areas in broad daylight, it's not completely unheard of, especially if they're about to be made public. ~unknowncountry.com/out-there/latest~

Ewan would have gladly, had he thought it would do any good. Or knew what it meant. It wasn’t going to change things.

Gill didn’t know who needed the vacation worse.  He or Talbot’s Peak.  The Beer-Food Festival came off without too many problems.  He wanted no more brewing, tasting, or food preparation for a few days.  Time was passing too fast until campaigning would start up again.  Time to relax was now.

Weekender: Is Technology the New Terror?
Friday, May 23, 2014

Technology has been around since the dawn of time. Not just tablets, phones, computers or television, but any device that has helped to facilitate the processes of daily life. A rock to bash things with, a stick to stir things with, a knife to kill or cut with, or even the wheel! But for most people, the term "technology" is associated with the recent wealth of digital media and cyber tools that have now proliferated across the planet into all corners of the world, and more specifically, the Internet and social media.

“The Internet has radically changed nearly every level of human experience in an incredibly short amount of time,” says Lee Siegel, author of Against the Machine: Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob. ~unknowncountry.com/news/weekender-techology-new-terror

Morning mews... delightful and desperado-adorable Big Cats... hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend... finally more rain on the tame prairie, a nice soaking in type of rain... so the greenery will get more jungly, and the critters will have water... yesterday, the Kougaress got to spend some lovely time outside.

Mama Bear Saves Her Cub...

Smiles... this could have happened in our fictional shapeshifter town, Talbot's Peak, at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS
  
Where do you think YOU'RE going? Incredible moment black bear saves her tiny cub from oncoming traffic as he wandered on to edge of road

The incredible moment a black bear cub was rescued by its mother after it got stranded on the edge of a busy road has been caught on camera.

The adorable baby bear was at Kootenay National Park, which is located in southeastern British Columbia in Canada when it found itself on the wrong side of a highway.

The initially adventurous creature can be seen in the footage nervously backing away from the traffic clearly overwhelmed by its unfamiliar surroundings.~dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2633916/Incredible-moment-black-bear-saves-tiny-cub-oncoming-traffic-wandered-edge-road.html

We take a short pause for editing
by Rebecca Gillan


We pause our regularly scheduled programming because the author felt the need to rewrite it and hasn't finished editing.
In other news, you will get the next part of Witch's Moon next week, after I get done editing it. I ended up rewriting almost all of chapter 4 because I didn't get the bar quite right and it turns out that my original MS depended quite heavily on there being lots of entrances into the club beneath the bar.

Instead, I offer you a little bit of random flash fiction that is also not edited but isn't part of a book. It is inspired by how Damien Hancock's mad scientist might have gotten ahold of his initial test subjects. I didn't take it any farther than this scene because I'm enjoying Pat's mad story too much to want to interfere with it.

Anywho, enjoy!

Hellhound Discovered? When writing KANDY APPLE AND HER HELLHOUNDS -- Kandy, Zol, and Zin's erotic love story -- the Kougar did research about the different types of hellhounds and the lore.

According to folklore, Black Shuck towered at seven feet tall, with flaming red eyes and shaggy black hair. — Mail Online


Is it him? The bones are believed to date back to the 16th century, when the legendary hell hound Black Shuck (pictured in an artist's impression) was rumoured to roam East Anglia.

Take me to your loins...
by Savanna Kougar 

Late afternoon howls and yowls, shapeshifter lovers.

A couple of weeks ago my hero, White Fang, a super wolf, and his heroine, Pasha, an Egyptian cat goddess, provided a nice surprise, the beginnings of a love scene. Link: "Mating dance or battle of the sexes?"
This week, Pasha gifted me with her side of their impassioned encounter.
Their story is yet to be fully written, and is titled, WHITE FANG, ACE WOLF REPORTER.
The following is unedited... but I hope you enjoy.

~~~

Take me to your loins...

The inferno force of the universe spun through Pasha as she feverishly kissed White Fang, and gently caressed his back with her human claws. She'd known once their hungry passion for each other was loosed, it would burn her. No, firestorm through her soul as if she rose in the ashes of the phoenix -- a ritual she performed every seven years.
Her cat yowled savoring the extreme pleasure as White Fang straightened and drank in the sight of her.

To the Rescue!
By Pat Cunningham 
 
Ewan had never considered himself a praying man. Right now, cooped up in a tiny flying saucer zipping toward Colorado miles above the ground, he was seriously rethinking that decision. He muttered a few syllables to Chaos on the off chance it would help. After an ill-considered glance out the hatch at the blur of earth far below, he added a second prayer consisting of much stronger words.

“Yer lookin’ a little green there, mate,” Dugger said from behind the controls. “These skimmers take getting used to. Y’might want to steer clear of the windows.”

Witch's Moon Chapter 4 Part 1
by Rebecca Gillan


Chapter 4

I was nervous walking into Dante Hancock's bar by myself. It was a shifter joint and I am not a shifter. I can take care of myself, but I prefer not be in situations where I have to keep from being chewed on. Yeah, humans were welcome at the Interspecies Pleasure Club, which the bar was the public front for, but none of them could turn a wolf into a fluffy bunny by accident like I could. Because of this, I was not sure what to expect when I walked through the door.

Late morning mews, daring and darling KitKats... chilly overcast days return to the tame prairie... sweltering for a few days, then it's sweatshirt weather again... whew! The Kougaress is busy-overwhelmed, and just wears herself out everyday now... but that's the way it is for most of us in these times... so, it was good to listen to Paul Burley talk about the *sacred relationship* as depicted at Stonehenge and the Lakota Sacred Circle on ~coasttocoastam.com~

Prepare as never before to hunker bunker down, darling kittens... or move out onto the land, into the smaller towns with people of like mind... the times they are a-changin' fast. Remember, this Big Cat loves ya!

Space Opera Comes to Talbot's Peak 

by Savanna Kougar 

Middle of May howls and yowls, shapeshifter lovers.

Okay, I was Muse-struck by this sci fi story idea last week. And as usual it began playing in my head like a movie.  So I thought I'd turn it into today's flash scene. 

~~~

Space Opera Comes to Talbot's Peak

"Jettison escape craft."

Commander Sarza listened to her final order reverberate through the empty battle cruiser.  On screen she watched ten pods emerge from the belly of her ship, then scatter like a flock of hunted birds -- before they cloaked, becoming invisible to the Gray Galactic's surveillance platform.

THE PAST REVEALING ITSELF ... THE SACREDNESS OF STONEHENGE AND ANCIENT CIRCLES 'NEWS' ~

STONEHENGE SHOW at ~coasttocoastam.com/show/2014/05/13~

 In the latter half, engineer and geologist Paul D. Burley ~asabovesobelow-pauldburley.com~ shared his fascination with Stonehenge, and "sacred spheres," and his efforts to decipher the meaning of these ancient structures, and why they were constructed. What many don't realize is that ancient depictions of circles across various cultures, such as the medicine wheel, represent three-dimensional spheres or geometries, he said. "These circles are representing the universe around us, and the Earth upon which we walk, which is below us," or the experience of having the cosmos all around us, he explained. Constructed around 5,500 years ago, Stonehenge was made of very durable materials because the builders wanted these structures to last for eternity, as they were representing eternal concepts such as the cycle of life and rebirth, he outlined.

Stonehenge, which is designed with circles within circles, "was meant to be recognized as a sacred structure by anyone who saw it," with the cosmic dome above us, and Mother Earth below, and the source of life at the center, he detailed. One of the most curious things Burley has concluded about the Stonehenge ritual landscape is that 1,000 years before the stones were placed there, settlers shaped a stretch of land into a "cursus" which depicted a cosmic map in the ground, including the Milky Way, Orion, and set of stars known as the Winter Hexagon.

Late night mews, Big Cat Beauties... finally some really nice rains soaked the tame prairie this afternoon... and cooler temps arrived... the other day, the Kougaress watched this large, gorgeous yellow and black-outlined butterfly feeding on the wild verbena in her wildlands yard... it was one of those beautiful nature scenes... lots of butterflies so far this year.

On the world stage the nasty stuff is about to hit the proverbial fan in some ways. So, take care and beware. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

The Other White Meat ... uh, serial story
by Pat Cunningham

(The serial story hit a wall again, so here's another excerpt of the other one with Ewan in it. Chloe, out of work journalist and would-be romance writer, is coming to grips with the biggest drawback to pantsing. And then there's a knock at the door ...)

# # #

Aramilla drew back, but only for an instant. She’d expected to see Haroun, her chaperone, at the door. Instead it was Pietro. Her heart leapt, remembering their dance.

Just as quickly, it plummeted again. Krasski didn’t know. No one must know the vampire lord’s intended bride had lost her heart to another. A common soldier in the war between humans and the undead.

“Go away,” she ordered him in a shaky voice. “I … I am indisposed. I—why am I talking like this? Nobody talks like this.”

AND...

MIXED AGENDA OR IS PHOENIX SPOKEN HERE?
By Solara


Gill reached for another tissue as his eyes watered.  His nose started twitching again.  He hastily held the two tissues over his nose and mouth. Two loud sneezes followed.  He blew vigorously, tossing the use items in the trash can near his bed. 

On the bedside table, three large bottles sat along with a huge sipper filled with more water than he cared to think about drinking.  Blackie raised her head, blinked her golden eyes, and curled her tail around her.  Gill sniffled, and slid lower in the bed.  Allergies, sinus infection, and orders to stay away from Rattigan’s for a week didn’t bode well for his re-election campaign kick off.  After his Elvis imitation went viral way beyond Talblot’s Peak, loosing didn’t appear to be an option.

Changes, Man. Will Make You Insane...
By Serena Shay


“You sure you don’t want me to come inside with you, Z?”  Nick parked his mate’s vintage mustang and wondered once more what was going on inside Ziva’s head.  She never let him drive her car—ever.  She barely let anyone admired the steel beauty—until this morning when she threw him the keys and slid into the passenger seat.  The sudden change convinced him something was wrong with her or, Lupa forbid, the baby.

“Nope,” she responded as if there were other things on her mind.  “Go to your meeting.  I’ve got some, er, work to finish up.”

Wow, the Color Purple! Or, feeding the soul, the heart, and the mind ... for several reasons, the Kougaress adored Alex Jones and David's interview with Alice Walker, author of THE COLOR PURPLE, and an amazing woman who is the very essence of upliftment. Listening to Ms. Walker, was a deeply moving fusion of this Big Cat's *awakening* process -- that is, the 'truths' she learned at the time of the movie, and the succession of 'awakenings' she experienced up to this point in her life. It was if an inner portal opened, spun all these spiritual *ah-ha* moments together, then focused them like a laser into a new and greater understanding.

Ms. Walker is traveling down under to Australia to meet with the aborigine people. She wants to learn their wisdom, and bring it forth to the world in an effort to help us all.

Blurb: "...On today's [Friday, the 9th] worldwide broadcast, David talks with renowned international author and activist Alice Walker about the creative process and other topics. Ms. Walker is the author of numerous books, including The Color Purple, You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down, and We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting for: Inner Light in a Time of Darkness..."

Firenado... what a great name for a character, or book title ...


'Firenado': Wind Whips Up Wicked Whirl in Missouri Field


A Missouri woman captured an incredible photo of a phenomenon that has been dubbed a "firenado" while she was driving down a country road last weekend.

Firenado... what a great name for a character, or book title ... yep, inspiration heats up... yuk-yuk! but that's the way it works for us authors. 

Afternoon mews, venerable and vivacious KitKats... the line of storms threatened but went around the tame prairie... so rain is needed... this Big Cat wore herself out preparing... anyhoo, cooler temps came in and it's a sunny day.

The proverbial noose is tightening around us, darling kittens, keep preparing and keep your soul free. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

btw, using cream of tarter everyday keeps you from getting polio, as was done in Arkansas, Kansas back in the day, on the advice of the local physician -- where no one died from polio during the epidemic. Yeah, knowing the 'real history' of medicine can save your life and the life of your loved ones. Also, baking soda, cream of tartar and sitting in the sunshine [vitamin D?] cured a whole of people during the Spanish flu epidemic. If you want to purchase these natural products, go organic, or the best quality you can find.

These pics are definitely awe-inspiring and author-inspiring. 

Headline-snippet: The waves that are on FIRE: Photographers risk their lives to capture amazing images of lava flowing into Hawaii's ocean surf CJ Kale and Nick Selway are the first to capture the lava flow from the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii from the sea
    They had to enter the water within feet of where the lava was running into the surf, braving the scalding water and dodging ‘lava bombs’ floating towards them - and have got injured for their art in the past
    They said that the sand felt like glass, the water scalding and they often had to retreat to colder water
    Duo had to wait five years for the right conditions to photograph the eruption - and don't use Photoshop ~dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2622201/The-waves-FIRE-Photographers-risk-lives-capture-amazing-images-lava-flowing-Hawaiis-ocean-surf.html

Morning mews, scampering and playful Big Cats... looks like the storms are coming in today... so far, just grayish skies and heavy moist air on the tame prairie... the Kougaress got more yardwork done and pruned her rose bush, which took a beating with the frigid temps but is growing nicely... this Big Cat so enjoys being outside during the warm months.

Chaos all over the world, darling kittens, and the times are about to become even more explosive... keep watch but hunker bunker down as much as possible. And remember, this Big Cat loves ya!

Witch's Moon, Chapter 3, part 2... I think.

So where were we? I know I've been posting only the first part of each chapter, but you really need all of chapter three for chapter four, the bar fly sceen where Marissa gets her mind blow seeing Lamar but nekkid and looking like a Ken doll. And I really want to share that one, because she freaks out just a little and gets caught checking Dante's jeans to see if he's got a bulge. So anyway. The rest of chapter three. Also, for those who are late to join us, I am including linkies to the previous posts of "Witch's Moon." Enjoy!
