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.

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."***

HORSE WHISPERING WITCH *Art picture from ~strangehistory.net/2013/09/16/horse-whispering-witch~* what a perfect heroine for one of the Kougar's paranormal erotic romances.

Early morning mews, Halloween-frisky Big Cat Beauties... gosh, actual rain fell on and off today on the tame prairie... it was a slow minimal rain... however, this Big Cat is grateful for every last raindrop at this point in time... this afternoon she was looking out her west-facing window and listening to the gentle fall of the rain... the Autumn colors are emerging... there was that delicious feeling of Fall in the air... within those moments a beautiful sense of perfection and serenity filled the Kougaress... one very good thing in her long crazy-busy day.

As always, take care, darling kittens. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

Hey kitten coos, there's a pic of *The Liu Gang Map* at ~coasttocoastam.com~

BLURB: From 10/14/13 guest Gavin Menzies: "The Liu Gang 1418 / 1763 map proves that the Chinese had a sophisticated understanding of the Earth's geography, and had made exploratory voyages to the Americas before Columbus set sail."

Gosh, a busy-promo day for the Kougar... what she could squeeze in while doing all the necessary stuff... like trying to order necessities in case the banking system glitches and we're all left cyber-stranded... anyhoo, the Kougar may have found an easier way for her to post on Yahoo... she wanted to let readers know about KANDY APPLE AND HER HELLHOUNDS as a Halloween read.

So, the Kougar has her Tuesday post to write for SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS. She has several idea percolating... but, she's dang tired... so????

Different Strokes

“Ready or not,” Dash called, brandishing his quirt, “here I come.”

He entered the stall. And stopped dead.

Merry crouched in the hay on all fours, hobbled and waiting. She wore only a horse blanket, pinned in front to keep it from sliding off.

...always a real treat! Halloween or not...

The Kougaress just likes cheesy-sexy sometimes... and it is the season of the witch... ~grins~ 

Afternoon mews, Halloween-zinging KitKats... the leaves are becoming Autumn-beautiful... right now, it's cool and sorta overcast on the Kougar's beloved tame prairie... gosh, she wishes she was up to planting fruit and nut trees... turning the land into more of a self-sustaining paradise... but, her health just isn't up to it... even though she's improved over the past year... thank the Divine.

Wherever you are, darling kittens, take care and dare to prepare. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

...first six paragraphs of Chapter Fifteen...

Her volcanic interior flashed red... ...while this description could easily apply to this Big Cat when she's gripped by fury, given she's a fiery cat girl... but no, this is from the Phoenix flash scene by Solara at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS.

Mermaid from ~netanimations.net/2j3gsas.gif~ the Kougaress adores beautiful mermaids and hunky mermen... another life, another time... and wouldn't that make a gorgeous fantasy costume... a Come As Your Favorite Sea Being party.

Weekend nearing-midnight mews, Halloween-witchy KitKats... yep, the Spooktober vibes are definitely ramping up as the month progresses... sunny but chillier temps on the tame prairie... wow, the three-quarters moon looks as if its ablaze... really on fire with light... the Kougaress wishes she knew what the heck was *really* going on, with the caveat that she's not harmed in any way... it's the ole *be careful what you wish for*.

So, a lot accomplished today, with miles to go, of course.

Watch your pretty tails, darling kittens. Lots of nasty stuff coming at us these days. And remember, this Big Cat love ya!

REBIRTH REVISITED
by Solara

 “Going somewhere wife?” echoed through Rachel and over her like finger nails on a blackboard.  She clenched her hands, counted, unclenched them, and counted again.  Anger, wrath, and angst barely described the emotions throbbing and percolating waiting to explode.  Her volcanic interior flashed red, gold, and black as ash spewed off the parts she fought to cool.  Keeping control mattered.

Rachel pivoted on one foot, taking a deep breath as she did. Tyburn’s arrogance rankled her no more.  She knew the importance of standing up for herself.

Closing in on midnight mews, lovely and Halloween-longing KitKats... overcast for a lot of the day, and windy, but no rain... although storms are supposed to be on the way... wow oh wow, what a head-exploding, bizarre day for this Big Cat... she even lost a day thinking it was Thursday for some reason ~shaking head~

So ~sighs~

UPDATE! The storm just came in a bit after midnight, and it is now RAINING!

Be careful out there, darling kittens. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

Werewolves in Time Square?
by Serena Shay

Such fabulous posts this week!  Nice job ladies.  Now, I'm happily following in the footsteps of my awesome blog mates and posting a very raw section from an unfinished work about werewolves.  It was meant to be a New Years story and who knows, maybe someday it will be.  :)  As for the picture...well, I just really liked it.  :D
~~~

“Josh, wait…” Ela bellowed at the back of her so-called best friend’s disappearing head. Bellow was probably a misnomer considering the soft, gentle voice she’d inherited from her southern belle, mama. More like tinkled or trilled as she’d heard others say over the years, two words she despised. Who wanted a tinkling voice anyway? She wanted to be heard, especially now, not drowned out by the roar of the throng ducking and weaving around her.

Closer and closer... a New Kind of Mistress

In these times Robin Hood is the way to go. The Kougaress would love to design a Robin Hood fantasy costume for herself... and she has a Lady Robin Hood WIP she'd love to write... so many WIPS so little time! 

After midnight mews, Halloween-spooktacular Big Cat Beauties... a splendid Autumn day on the tame prairie... but rain is still very much needed... please, please, good weather beings... tonight the waxing crescent moon was spectacular in the late night sky... and still unbelievably bright... the Kougaress just can't get over how different the moon is now compared to even six years ago.

Watch out for your hides and tails, darling kittens. Lots coming down the pike at us during the final months of 2013. Remember, this Big Cat loves ya~

a New Kind of Mistress...

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~  you gotta see the pic Rebecca has with her flash fiction!

a New Kind of Mistress
by Rebecca Gillan

 The clink-clink-thud of doors being unlocked resonated in the clammy air of the dungeon. None of them were opened, just unlocked. Not that it mattered really. All of the occupants were chained to the walls and to each other, grouped by species and race for the most part. There weren't enough werewolves to be so picky since few survived both battle wound and the change.

Garth looked around him, knowing what he'd see. He and his men, all five of them humans, the Andorian wolf who had been born a shifter rather than turned. And the young darkling youth. He felt for that one, though he probably shouldn't.

...progress on RED LIONESS TAMED... and Halloween promo blitz...

Hauntingly wicked Halloween heroine... don't you think? 

Early, early morning mews, Halloween-vibe KitKats... another very pleasant day on the tame prairie... the Kougaress managed to collect some black walnuts... lots of those nut critters this year... yrsh, the usual crazy-business ensued... but at least something worthwhile got accomplished.  ~sighs~

Beware, take care, and prepare, most darling kittens. 'Cause this Big Cat loves ya!

Authoress news and mews ~

The Kougar made some good revising progress on RED LIONESS TAMED today. She's getting closer to re-releasing her erotic romance shapeshifter sci fi.

So, a Halloween promo blitz is coming up for this Big Cat... the Snarkology Halloween blog hop at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS... she has a blog coming up on another author's site... and like she yowled before, the Kougar signed up for Spookapalooza at THE ROMANCE STUDIO... no, she won't be able to keep up with the other authors... but at least her books will be out there in front of readers.

YAHOO is still HECK! To use... but the Kougar Halloween-promo-ed at LOVE ROMANCES CAFE for Demon and Angels excerpt day.
