Bits 'n' Pieces

Random stuff to fill out the blog for a Thursday …

We’ll start with the unintentional shout-out Supernatural gave to my book Belonging on Tuesday. It’s the story of a vampire (played in my mind-movie by Jensen) and his human lover (as portrayed by Jared). In his human days the vampire was a slayer on an Oz-themed team; his street name was the Tin Man. His pet name for his lover is Scarecrow. Well, the recent ep had its own Oz theme. Imagine my surprise when the demon Crowley referred to Sam and Dean as the Scarecrow and the Tin Man. Nyah, nyah, I was there first, a couple years and a M/M/F sequel ago. The King of Hell needs to catch up on his M/M reading. You can read a stand-alone scene involving these characters here on this blog (“Origin Story,” 6/27/13). I'd make it a link but I don't know how. Damn computer age!

# # #

I see some head-scratching among the newbies. Those initials up there, M/M, etc. What’s that mean? That’s the secret code of romance writers, especially in the erotica subgenre. Okay, it’s not really all that secret, but it can get a bit confusing.

These letters are a guide to readers as to what kind of relationships they can expect in their reading experience. M/F is the traditional boy-and-girl, or Male/Female. Two guys is M/M, or Male/Male, and F/F is Female/Female. It’s when you start getting into multiples that things get tricky. M/F/M is two dudes and a chick, but the dudes have no romantic entanglement. M/M/F is two dudes in a relationship who branch out by adding a chick. If the men in the M/F/M are brothers, you need to specify there’s no sexual contact between the men during the deed, because that’s incest and largely frowned upon except in fan fiction. In an M/M/F the boys can have their own sex scene as well as romps with the lady. It helps if you warn the reader beforehand. Just label it M/M/F with M/M elements.

Similarly, F/M/F would be one man with two women (lucky him), but the ladies aren’t into each other, whereas in a F/F/M they would be (again, lucky him). I’ve never heard of a M/F/F, but I’m guessing there must be one somewhere. I recently learned there’s such a thing as F/M/M, a dominant female with two or more men in her harem. Good thing, because I wrote a flash scene (“Double Dipping”, 10/9/13) that, if I decide to expand it into a story, would fall into that category. I didn’t even know it was a category, but apparently some publishers do run stories with the chick in charge. If mine makes it to full length, it’ll be F/M/M with M/M elements, because the guys get horny and she has to sleep sometime. I don’t know how a woman in a M/F/M/M/M/M/M survives to the end of the book.

On the same writing forum where I learned about F/M/M, I asked why the “M” always comes first, when most of these books are about the woman and are aimed at female readers. I was told the first letter signifies the dominant partner. Since that’s usually the guy, he comes first. I was also told a lower-case m or f signifies a subordinate or submissive partner. This is why dom/sub labels are written D/s and not D/S. Since the two guys in my maybe-book up there are the woman’s legal slaves, I suppose I could write it F/m/m, though it’s more slaves in name only by the end. Something tells me M/f (dominant male, submissive female) isn’t popular, but if you make him a Dom and her a willing sub you can probably get away with it.

As more genres get mixed in with erotic romance, we’re liable to see M/F/N (male, female, neuter) or F/M/B (female, male, bi). Or, if you’re into science fiction, M/F/WTF. That one should be interesting. I’d better bone up on my alphabet.

# # #

Here’s another term you might run across: mpreg. That’s male pregnancy, and you can thank fanfic writers for that. It’s a way for your two lovely boys to experience the joy of parenthood without involving a woman and her icky girl cooties. It helps if one of the partners is an alien or knows magic or something, because the last time I checked human men don’t have a uterus or a birth canal, which would make gestation and labor pretty messy. Pouches are one alternative if you don’t want to give your hero a womb. On the TV show Alien Nation, not only did the woman have to be fertilized by a third party before she could conceive with her mate, but toward the end of the pregnancy she transferred the fetus to the man’s pouch and he carried the kid until birth. If your main character’s dating a seahorse shifter, you could end up with one of these stories. I’d love to see their medical textbooks, or sit in on a sex-ed class.

Speaking of reproduction, a stray cat in our neighborhood has been raising her two kittens under the guy on the corner’s shed. Fortunately we’re in a semi-rural area, and the local farmers always welcome outdoor cats to keep the rodents out of the feed. Mom and her brood are already assured of a home and all the mice they can hunt. Now we just have to catch them. And how is your week going?

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ October 28, 2013

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #269

Now Comes the Worldwide Rise of the Woman Warrior, the Warrioress

From a previous forecast: "The Goddess Arrives, dancing and spinning among the economic turmoil and war-chaos of our current world. She brings her sacred heart for the sake of humanity, to heal Mother Earth.

The Goddess Arrives once again, her heart shining with love, her spirit offering the gift of soul healing. She asks that you accept her love, her nurturing hand upon you -- that you receive her healing energies.

The Goddess Arrives as warrioress, radiant battle sword in hand. She is ready to strike down her enemies. She is prepared to help humanity rise toward their destiny, living and flying among the stars."

On the AWAKENING front, now two women leaders come into prominence upon the world's stage. One brings the light of the Divine. The other brings the cruel crushing fist of the dark-side.

Each one of us will choose. Humanity as a whole will choose. AWAKEN to a  Divine dance with the Sacred Heart. Or descend into a brutal, impoverished existence where the dark-siders rule and dominate without compassion.

On the magickal, mystical front, this week, All Hallow's Eve craziness ensues, both good and bad. This will be centered around the Sacred Feminine as She asserts Herself more powerfully. For now, more of humanity honors Her presence, and knows her true Way upon the Earth.

For the next several weeks, the 'Mages of Ages Lost' cast their bright-light magick breaking apart waves of evil sorcery that have been keeping humankind blinded to the 'reality' of the world. Meanwhile, the Viper warlocks panic and do all in their lessening power to blast the people with black sorcery, and spread their smoke of deception. Their goal is to cause a mayhem of distraction and disaster.

On the personal front, a spooky week of possible financial problems. Continue to monitor your finances carefully, while preparing for the upcoming superstorms of life.

This is also a wonderful week to re-establish relationships, and make your good relationships even stronger. For the heart soars at this time, and minds meet. Souls come together. We are ready.

On the paranormal front, this week the *past* returns -- the ancestors of humanity rise in spirit. For, the time of Great Warning is here. With the dimensional boundaries nearly transparent during this All Hallow's Eve, 'those' who love humanity come forth in assistance. They come forth to save what humankind has built as a life-monument to All That is Good upon Earth.

Also, likely there will be more dragon sightings in the near future. This is because the deep caves of Earth are being affected by land changes and the inter-dimensional wall is continuing to thin.

On the economic front, disasters to the right of you, disasters to the left of you. Pay no attention to the puny guy behind the curtain running the worldwide economy into the ground.

This week one bankster-gangster hand will be promising a better economic future. While the other hand of the super robber-barons will be wholesale stealing everything you've got -- everything you and your family worked hard for.

Remember, the banks are not your friend. And, only CHUMPS play the stock markets in these times.

To protect yourself continue to get involved with your local economy and buy from each other. Stay away, as much as you can, from the big box stores. As has been stated often, do all you can to stock up with necessities, and barter items.

On the truth front, TRUTH firestorms across the world burning the dark-side controllers in its blazing, blasting wake. Their horrific wrongdoings, their heinous murderous misdeeds will continue to be EXPOSED on a massive scale -- beneath the spotlight of the Great Divine.

Watch for 'explosive' scandal after 'colossal' scandal as the year comes to a close, especially in the financial realm. Most of this 'truth' will be kept on the back pages of the paper -- so to speak -- while the media lap dogs lie by omission, or minimize -- or explain away this Machiavellian evil.

On the war front, a beyond-crazed week of war and more war in several theaters of conflict -- the Middle East, Africa, and on the Asian continent. Also, China and Japan continue to go at each other.

Meanwhile, Russia establishes a dominant position on the war chessboard. Also Eastern Europe rises as a new player in world affairs. Brazil and the BRIC nations battle to establish autonomy from the Western powers.

At this point in time, Britain down-slides into a much lesser power. And the revolution-evolution against war begins full force, crisscrossing the planet.

On the tyranny-at-work front, now Nazi-like checkpoints pop up like poisonous mushrooms. Instead of 'papers, please', it will be papers or be tortured with tasers.

SWAT raids will continue to assault and murder the innocent. And if you dare smoke in public, you are now subject to arrest. For, the nationwide sting has begun for any petty misdemeanor. Because the undercover, dark-side agents of death are coming for the people. All to break our spirit and our will.

However, likely this week there will be a major incident which further infuriates the people, and causes activism against the police state to hyper-leap forward.

On the communication front, a bad week for communication in general. Hacking goes quantum against the establishment at this point in history.

Even though the surveillance grid strengthens against the people, the battle is joined, and will be metaphorically burned down by the cyber renegades.

At this critical juncture for humanity, the BRAVE ONES create an underground *Paul Revere* communications system that is immune to the NSA. As well, part of the 'secret' SKY NET system will be compromised, and taken over by the WHITE HATS.

On the home front, coup and counter-coup, the hidden civil war continues, but spills out into the public awareness. To repeat from a prior forecast: the secret civil war between several factions goes hot and heavy. This will be reflected by the ongoing purge of America's top military brass, and by the administrations demand for the complete *belly-up* surrender of congress."

HEADLINE-VIDEO: Obama’s Military Purge Removes 197 Officers (AND COUNTING) AS DHS TAKES OVER STREETS (VIDEO)

On the food front, now the GMO Industrial Complex is being overrun with 'just say no' activism. However, the GMO BIG BOYS will counter with acts of economic terrorism, and worse -- using their billions of dollars.

However, the people battle back vigorously, fiercely. In the end, there can be only ONE winner. CHOOSE: Life thriving on planet Earth or the Grim Reaper's arrival to claim his own.

As always, keep on stocking up on good food!

On the land changes front, a meteoric barrage is in the offing, and 'could' cause some significant damage.

From last week's forecast: "likely there will be more early snowstorms. The sinkholes 'quicken' at this time. The ocean temperatures vary beyond expectation, causing great fluctuations in weather and other key atmospheric changes.

From the prior forecast: "the uprising of the sun is here. Weather goes ultra-wonky -- superstorms, flooding, roaring winds, severe variations in temperature. Volcanoes continue to wake up and activate. Earthquakes swarm across the planet, rippling and tearing at the crust."

On the energy front, now the energy of the sun changes dramatically. This new white-hot light BLASTS, warming Mother Earth, helping her with needed land changes.

Also, this change is a spiritually igniting light for humanity. For now, what is called the third eye is being activated according to each individuals need, and level of 'knowing'.

Many of us will now leap forward in our paranormal abilities, in our ability to know certain future events. This will be especially true when we need to know how to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

On the really bad news front, the long dark night of confiscation is here. Beware, prepare, and take care. *BREAKING* HEADLINE-SNIPPET: Leaked Video: FEMA Preparing Military Police For Gun Confiscations and Martial Law ~ Kit Daniels | U.S. Army MP told Constitution may be suspended by Homeland Security.

On the good news front, the CHAMPIONS of the people arrive as never before. This is because each one of is a champion for others in our own individual way.

To repeat from a prior forecast: "the inner Warrioress and the inner Warrior rises to a whole new level within many of us. For, now is the time. We are being activated by the Divine Realm to be champions for the people, and champions for Mother Earth."

On the global mafia cabal front, the factional war winds down with two remaining combatants. One of these factions has been covertly infiltrated by several WHITE HATS. This means at every opportunity THOSE ON THE GOOD SIDE are using one dark-side faction to stop, then destroy the other faction.

Likely this will look like volatile, strange-acting stock markets, yo-yo jumps in the price of gold. There will also be 'key' documents released to the alternative press.

Plus, beware! One top minion leader of the 'not-infiltrated' faction will attempt to look like a good guy who is saving the people, this upcoming week.

On the heroine and hero front, HEADLINE-SNIPPET: Thousands March in D.C. Against NSA Domestic Surveillance ~ Kit Daniels | Petition against NSA spying has over 570,000 signatures.

On the freedom front, in the next two week's time, there will be a MAJOR VICTORY for liberty. *Those* on the dark side who are anti-freedom and anti-humanity will use every viper-foul trick in their book of evil, thus, to make this victory appear like a defeat instead.

Likely this will include using celebrities in a huge campaign to fool and influence those with little knowledge, with weak minds and weak spines. When confronted with this propaganda barrage, it is wise to check in with your inner 'knowing', with the part of you that always knows *the truth*.

At this time, the ruthless rattlesnake of liberty strikes, poisoning those in opposition to the spiritual birthright of every human being on this planet. For the remaining months of 2013, watch these enemies fall off the world stage.

Trendwise, this trend, begun in October 2011, intensifies and accelerates at this time:

"Now begins the Rise of the Warrioress. As we move toward the year, 2012, the inner warrioress will make herself known, and women will take on leadership roles as never before in recorded history. Most of these roles will not be establishment, but anti-establishment.

At this time, the spirit of the Amazon warrioress has arrived from the mists of that lost age to live once again on Earth. Women warriors, and those Souls who have lived previous lives as Amazon warriors, will be shifting into that mind set, and bringing it forth to the world.

Of course, ‘those’ on the dark side who control the system, will continue to present their FALSE women warriors in the hopes that they will lead us all astray. Discernment between the real warrioress and the imitator will become invaluable.

During the latter part of the week a series of rapid-fire events will occur. These mostly staged events are designed to cause humanity to fall into a state of despair. While this result will be achieved to a certain degree, in the end it will backfire in a spectacular way." ~Further note: at this time, there will also be a series of rapid-fire events meant to intimidate humanity into total surrender --  to begin the public reign of the Viper Globalists.~

This week is about dancing with the sacred etheric energies. Let yourself tune into this force by daydreaming the sweetest dreams you can imagine.

My Sexy Saturday ~ Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds IV

Sexy Saturday kisses, everyone.

The night of the witch is nigh. Halloween is next week, and the supernatural will be parting the veil. But today, I'm sharing *another* seven X-paragraphs from my Halloween-theme erotic romance menage, KANDY APPLE AND HER HELLHOUNDS.

 
~~~~~~

He lapped her pussy slit in the same way, but with a steadiness that erotically pulsed her flesh. Her entire body melted, then pleasurably throbbed.

Near the edge of an orgasm, she dipped her back, thrusting her pussy as close as possible. His tongue struck her clit, nearly undoing her.

A fiery need enveloped her instead, and with each flick of his tongue, he stoked her higher. Suddenly igniting with rapture, Kandace screamed a moan.

Ecstatic sweeps of pleasure owned her, and only his hold on her kept her from collapsing onto the bed.

"Kandace." His rasp moved through her body like liquid smoke.

The moment her knees could support her, he slipped her pantyhose down her legs. As he tenderly smoothed them from her feet, sparkly tingles danced inside her.

"My turn."

Adventures in Censorship, Part II

This is a continuation of a minor side project of mine. To recap: I live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a heavily conservative area. Earlier this year, their public library’s content filter started blocking the web site of my publisher, Siren-Bookstrand, on the grounds of “adult content.” Hey, I told the folks at the desk, I’m an adult. I’m a writer. I create some of that content you don’t want me to look at. I’m not even on the library’s computers. I’m looking at smut on the privacy of my own laptop. Is there any way a grownup can look at grownup sites at the public library?

Nope, they told me. It’s the computer system. It scans for certain key words. If those words come up, the site goes bye-bye. There’s nothing they can do. (Translation: “It’s not our fault.” No human being’s to blame. Funny how often that explanation comes up.)

Anyhoo, last month I was at a library outside of Lancaster County, and I got onto the Siren site just fine. In fact, I got onto several sites blocked by Lancaster County’s content filter. Which got me wondering: does this hold true all over? Do different counties in the same state—the same general geographic area—have different ideas of what constitutes objectionable material? Is what’s too “adult” for the goose in Lancaster County good for the gander in Chester?

Having nothing better to do, and as always looking for an excuse not to write, I decided to find out. I visited libraries in four of Lancaster’s neighboring counties: Dauphin, Chester, Berks and Lebanon. I attempted to log onto four erotic publishers’ sites: Siren, Loose Id, Liquid Silver, and the queen of dirty books, Ellora’s Cave. As a “control” I picked a site I know for sure is porn, even though it’s all prose and no pictures. Which content filters would let me on where?

Keep in mind all four of these publishers have their own content filters. They don’t publish anything that includes rape for titillation, underage sex, forced sex, bestiality (werewolves don’t count), necrophilia (vampires don’t count), incest or pseudo-incest, or fun with bodily functions. They do include actual plots and characters, things usually missing from true porn. It’s all consenting adults doing consensual things, all in words with no dirty pictures, not even the covers. I guess anyone under (or over) 18 isn’t deemed ready for that.

All five library systems blocked the actual porn site. So occasionally these systems do the job they were designed for. Good to know. On the other hand, all five systems let me onto a fan fiction site that contains stuff just as twisted, kinky and smutty as anything you’d find on the porn site, some of it written by the 14-year-olds the system is supposed to be protecting. The difference is the fanfic site doesn’t flash the key words the computer’s looking for, so it gets a pass. The same holds true for an artists’ site I know about, or Google Images, for that matter. You can access true porn on a library system if you know which sites to look for.

And now, on to the main event. How did the various content filters measure up?

Lancaster County, my stomping grounds, blocked everything. Like I said, I used to be able to get onto Siren, but that ended earlier this year. I was never able to get onto Ellora’s Cave. The system let me onto Liquid Silver’s home page, but wouldn’t let me navigate around the site. I can still get onto Samhain’s site without problems. I guess the computer hasn’t caught that one yet. Oddly, Siren’s Manlove site is still available, probably because nobody thought to program that word into the computer. I’m betting “erotic,” “erotica” or “erotic romance” are what’s dinging the system’s bells. The funny thing is, I can access Siren’s books on Amazon, so the same smut they’re blocking on one site is fully visible on another. How is that supposed to protect the children?

Dauphin County lets you look at anything. I accessed all four sites with no trouble. Dauphin’s the home of Harrisburg, the state capital, so maybe they’re more grown-up over there. Or maybe our state reps like to look at porno in public. I’ll have to write to my congressman and ask him about that.

Chester County blocked Siren, although the page told me I could still get on if I asked the librarian. It let me onto the other three without a blink of the screen. Yep, even Ellora’s Cave. Wonder what poor little Siren did to upset their content filter? Bet if they took that “erotic romance” label off their banner they’d slip through the crack just fine.

Berks County okay’d Siren and Loose Id but blocked Liquid Silver and Ellora’s Cave. Don’t know why. Were the former deemed less dirty? Are there different gradations of smut? Something must have hit the Berks computer’s early warning system on the latter two sites. Or maybe the computer just hasn’t gotten around to Siren and Loose Id yet. Or maybe nobody’s ever tried to access erotic romance publishers’ sites often enough for the computer to notice. I’ll address that in a sec.

Lebanon County let me onto everything except Liquid Silver. Again, I don’t know why. Liquid Silver is too adult but Ellora’s Cave isn’t? I suppose I could have asked the librarian in any of these cases, but I didn’t want to draw attention to these sites and risk them all getting blocked everywhere. I’m sure I’m not the only writer trying to research potential publishers and who doesn’t have Internet at home. I didn’t want to mess things up for anyone else.

Yeah, what about that? What about the innocent children these systems are supposed to be shielding from Da Smut? Chester County’s system said flat out they were acting in compliance with the Child Protection Act. Is the system working?

I see kids on computers all the time at my local library. Here’s what they’re doing: they’re playing games or they’re on Facebook or they’re watching videos or they’re—gasp!—doing legitimate research for homework assignments. One thing they’re not doing is trying to access erotica publishers so they can read the dirty bits. That’s what Mom’s paperbacks are for. Or 50 Shades of Grey, which is sitting right out there on the Walmart shelves for anybody to publicly flip through. In the last ten years we’ve only had one case of somebody accessing porn sites at the library that I’m aware of, and that was an adult. And me, trying to research possible markets.

Holy smokes! I’m the one the system is trying to protect from Da Smut!

While we’re on the subject of protection, here are some sites Lancaster County’s system did let me onto: how to build a pipe bomb (videos and written instructions); how to make homemade explosives; how to grow marijuana (indoors and outdoors); and a site selling automatic rifles. This was on the library’s own computers, not my personal laptop. The library system even deleted my browsing history for me when I was done, so the government can’t track me down. So if I ever want to buy a gun or build a bomb to blow up the library for not letting me onto the site that offers my own books for sale, I know right where to go to get the relevant info.

But hey, they’re keeping dirty books out of the hands and away from the eyes of The Children. That’s the important thing.

I think for Christmas I’m going to treat myself to home Internet through my cable TV provider. They’ve already assured me they don’t block anything and their office is right up the street so if problems arise I can go yell at a human being. In the meantime I can continue to get free WiFi at the local McDonald’s, which lets anyone look at anything, including flat-out porn. Plus you can get McNuggets. Can’t beat that with a stick.

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ October 21, 2013

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #268

The Rise of People Power ... Now, the *power of the people* goes nova-bursting extreme across the planet.

From this point forward, humanity as a whole, WAKES UP to their true strength, to their real potential. And, individual, inner wisdom rules more and more.

On the AWAKENING front, at this point in history, many realize governmental restrictions are now obsolete in the face of the Aquarian Conspiracy -- or the ability of humanity to live and love from their spiritual center, from their caring hearts.

The spiritual nature of humankind soars exponentially during the remaining months of 2013, and into 2014. However, the Great Divide deepens into a chasm that can no longer be breached. For, the zombies -- those who have had their minds and souls destroyed by the system -- now stalk those of us who remain gloriously, fully human.

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' use their light blades to slash through the black-sorcery blanket smothering the spirit of humanity. For, the viper magicians have been slaughtering the human potential  for age upon age.

Also, this week initiates a new level of AWARENESS for those who are the upcoming generation of the MAGICKAL ONES -- however, only for those who are dedicated to the GOOD SIDE of life.

On the personal front, financial concerns are front and center for many this week, and for the next month. This means keeping a close eye on all of your financial concerns, and being one step ahead of the upcoming glitches that are likely to continue through the end of the year.

As well, this is a perfect week to finish projects most in need of completion. There is also a good financial opportunity on the way. It could be small, but this opportunity will prove invaluable.

As always, stock up on necessities and prepare for emergency situations as best as you are able. Make a list of what you need most.

On the paranormal front, another HUGE WEEK for the supernatural side of life. The cryptids continue revealing their presence -- both the cryptid creatures here, and those on the other side of dimensional curtain. This knowledge, whether accepted by science or not, sweeps across the world, and lifts humankind into a new reality.

In the near future, look for more revelations around mermaid-humans. Bigfoot-Sasquatch will continue to make minimal contact with selected individuals who are spiritually ready. And the UFOs fly, buzzing larger segments of Earth's population.

On the economic front, the bankster gangsters take a tiny step back from brutalizing the economy with the intent to bring the people to their knees. This is because too many of us are looking behind the curtain and calling these criminals out.

Even so, the economic woes continue worldwide, and the people scramble to take control of their local economies. This will manifest in uprisings, riots, and an enormous rise in the underground economy.

Now begins a major activist push to *stop* the cashless society, and to refuse any manner of chip/electronic ID system. Rebellion is in the air, and the air eventually spins into a tornado of resistance.

This week gold will likely rise. If this upturn is dramatic it means the stock markets have been taken over *temporarily* by the White Hat forces. If not, the dark-side force will keep the commodities from exploding in value.

On the truth front, as never before our souls are laid bare beneath the storm of new cosmic energies. As well, TRUTH shines like a glorious sunrise across the world.

At the same time, despite the extensive damage that has been done to the human psyche during this Piscean Age by the 'hidden' Viper Priests of Terror -- now each and every 'soul' has the opportunity to shine through the heavy clouds of oppression, lies, and diabolical deceit. For, humanity is ready to be free.

On the war front, an ugly, more-than-insane week where move and countermove on the war chessboard will look like a ping-pong game. China will make some of the major moves. Russia works behind the scenes to undercut their enemies.

Meanwhile, the Middle East burns by Machiavellian design of the dark-side controllers. However, those on the wrong side of justice will be feeling this ruthless heat instead. For, the firestorm-tide they have conjured turns against them.

Out of this, there will be factions who 'attempt' false flags to force the people into a world war. Once again, Syria 'could be' targeted.

On the tyranny-at-work front, this week, on a false pretext, certain aspects of martial law will be brought down like Thor's hammer on the people. Because of this, there will be a new determination to stand strong, to stand tall -- to never quit.

Also, now is the time to circle the wagons against the serpent-striking forces of tyranny. Good people are being targeted by the system and neutralized in heinous ways. Keep forming your like-minded, protection groups and watch each others backs. For, community is the bedrock of survival, of thriving with each other.

On the communication front, likely there will be all sorts of glitches in communication systems during the next two weeks. Watch out for the consequences, intended and not intended.

Currently, this is being reported:

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: FEMA Regions 2 & 3 Kill Switch Test? East Coast Internet Traffic Goes Dark ~ Internet traffic across much of the East Coast went down on Saturday after a switch supposedly failed. From Brooklyn to Philadelphia, internet users were unable to access the internet or had extremely slow internet speeds. Was this another internet kill switch test? Much of FEMA Regions 2 & 3 were affected by this outage. ~beforeitsnews.com~

On the home front, the divinely inspired HEMP renaissance is here, regardless of governmental regulation. For at this time, humanity desperately needs the benefits of the Hemp plant as a superior food -- for clothing and paper. Hemp, as an energy source is better than corn. Hemp can be used for making plastic, and as an ultra-strong building material.

On the food front, going local will become ever more necessary, especially as prices rise, as the storms of life batter humanity. If you are able to grow food through the winter, this would be a wise course of action.

As always, stock up on good food, water and all your necessities. Dare to prepare.

On the land changes front, likely there will be more early snowstorms. The sinkholes 'quicken' at this time. The ocean temperatures vary beyond expectation, causing great fluctuations in weather and other key atmospheric changes.

From the prior forecast: "the uprising of the sun is here. Weather goes ultra-wonky -- superstorms, flooding, roaring winds, severe variations in temperature. Volcanoes continue to wake up and activate. Earthquakes swarm across the planet, rippling and tearing at the crust."

On the energy front, there is a behind-the-scenes battle raging between those 'in the know' about what are called *free energy devices*. This is because those in favor of no longer suppressing these technologies realize it is not only the rightful birthright of the people, but would help the Earth recover from the misuse of oil.

The new Aquarian energies ramp up causing disorientation for some and/or a sense of being out of time, out of place. Beginning now, changes in society hyper-jump, far beyond what has already happened. The current infusion of cosmic frequencies could cause odd behaviors as well. Be patient if it's a harmless situation.

On the really bad news front, during the next four weeks, likely there will be several flashpoint events which will further cause the people to view government as useless, and as an enemy to their health and well-being.

Meanwhile, tensions explode as the police state tightens its jackboot-relentless grip. It becomes time to realize nothing will ever be the same, once the people are finally pushed too far. Prepare for the this eventuality. Likely it will be here sooner rather than later.

On the good news front, a new sense of 'good' purpose fiercely grips many of us at this point in history. Beneath the shrouding darkness of the dark-side's empire, many of us cling to a beautiful vision of what the future can be, should be for ALL. For, we feel, know that beloved Mother Earth is a paradise to be protected and respected.

On the global mafia cabal front, the infighting between top factions goes UGLIER this week. This will likely be reflected in the financial realm -- appearing as if strange bedfellows have suddenly become allies.

As the year winds down, more shocking revelations are forthcoming. The SUPER SCANDALS of the bankster gangsters, and their unseen, soulless masters will be spotlighted. However, this will not stop these *Vipers of High Finance*. For, their stolen power has made them insane beyond measure.

On the heroine front, the feminine energy soars, winging to ever greater heights. There are so many invaluable, incredible heroines in these times who are whistleblowers, activists... who are women on a mission to right the wrongs of the world, it is difficult to single out just one. However, here's an example that touches the heart in just the right spot.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: 14-Year Old Blasts TV Host from Shark Tank for Remarks About GMO Foods ~ A 14 year old girl recently blasted TV host Kevin O'Leary for remarks about GMOs. She explains GMO dangers. ~naturalsociety.com~

On the hero front, Joseph P. Farrell ~GizaDeathStar.com~ is the amazing, genius author of the "Financial Vipers of Venice" He exposes how and why the current 'enslaving' economic system was established. From ~unknowncountry.com~ "Joseph Farrell understands this system from a very deep and unique perspective, and in this interview he traces its origins in ancient Babylon, up through the Renaissance and right into modern times. Understanding is the first step toward freedom."

On the freedom front, now the spirit of many becomes drunk on the idea and meaning of liberty. For, all that is prosperous and good and soul-building about society can only be created from the wellspring of true freedom.

This spirit was demonstrated at the *Alamo* this past Saturday. From the “Come and Take It San Antonio!” rally at the Alamo ~ October 19, 2013 ~ “They are bullies that think we’re gonna lay down to them and lick their boots. I can assure you that if William Barrett Travis was here or the others that died at this sacred shrine were here, they would give us a rebel yell of liberty!” Jones said, fueled by the fire of freedom... “To all the big megabanks, you don’t run this country, you stole it by fraud and we’ve identified you and we’re taking the republic back. God Bless You all,” Jones concluded, undeterred by the loss of his voice following a few fierce battle yells.

Trendwise, at this time, commercially packaged entertainment continues to lose ground. The childlike superficiality of many entertainers is leaving more and more of the population cold, and they are moving on to more rewarding forms of being entertained.

Meanwhile, the upswing of the ARTISTIC ONES, independent of Big Media and still invisible to many eyes, continues at a rapid pace. 

This trend becomes stronger. From a previous forecast: "now, in the midst of societal chaos rises the art of living creatively. This is because the ART OF LIFE, of living life, is in the act of 'becoming' ... rising anew in this new-energy Aquarian Age.

At this time, the creativity of humankind begins to usurp greed as the prime motivator. A groundswell of artists will trade on their ability to be creative. Innovation becomes the middle name of many as they alter society toward the GOOD."

At this point in history, the failure and fall of the big cities accelerates. Most of this deterioration is fueled by the constant nefarious attack of the new world order criminals. One weapon is using 'social propaganda engineers' to cause class/race DIVISIVENESS. Another weapon of these dark-side psychopaths is keeping the economy crushed with the brutally pounding fist of the federal reserve.

One sweet trend on the near horizon is the creation of music and songs which reflect the beautiful heart and soul and spirit of humankind. Open your ears to these angelic messages.

This week enjoy whatever bright sunny days come your way. For, the light of the sun is waking up your highest, most beautiful spirit.

The season of the witch is here. Halloween is already entrancing us with the promise of the supernatural, with the lifting of the veil. Today, I'm sharing *another* seven X-paragraphs from my Halloween-theme erotic romance menage, KANDY APPLE AND HER HELLHOUNDS. 

 
~~~~~~

“Oh lick, yes,” she managed to say.

Was there any breath left inside her body?

“Red as sin and cherries, brother.”

Kandace quivered inside. She felt her pussy folds swell in anticipation, an ultra sexy sensation. Unexpectedly, his tongue tip probed her slit. The gentle exploration sent a jolt of ecstasy through her mound.

“More,” she whispered. “Please ”

She hadn’t finished speaking when he licked the length of her sex seam. The smooth finesse of his tongue made Kandace keen a long whimper. Desperately, she hoped for more.

Zin or Zol didn’t disappoint.

Savanna Kougar ~ Run on the Wild Side of Romance  

Wrong Turn?

This is the week the Harlequin contest was supposed to pick its 50 semifinalists. It’s Thursday already and I haven’t heard back, so I think it’s safe to say my entry didn’t make the cut. I’m actually relieved. Even as I was writing it I knew it wasn’t a Harlequin book. It’s a paranormal romance, yeah, but written my way, not theirs. (Example: the Hero and Sidekick Guy are holding a séance. They’re trying to contact a male spirit, but a female spirit appears. “This ancestor of yours,” Hero says, “he wasn’t a cross-dresser, was he?” Lines like that won’t be appearing in a Harlequin category novel any time in this century.)

There’s another problem right there: Sidekick Guy. He’s a friend of both Hero and Heroine. That’s acceptable by itself, but he’s in quite a few scenes with the two of them. For this to be a standard Harlequin plot, it helps if the guy and girl are thrown together BY THEMSELVES so they have to rely on each other, without pesky friends or relatives or law enforcement personnel or people who could help them solve their problems getting in the way. Oh, great. Now I figure out the Harlequin formula.

Then there’s the matter of sex scenes. The hero’s possessed by a demon, which means no privacy for our couple in the sack. Threesomes aren’t something Harlequin’s category books are ready to deal with yet. The demon does get exorcized by the end, so I could have had the happy couple go out with a bang, so to speak. Otherwise this would of necessity have ended up a sexless relationship, and I wasn’t aiming for an inspirational. But hey, just think of the romantic tension!

I suspect what got me cut was my characterization of Humphrey the dingo/demon. It might have been seen as stereotypical and offensive by the editors. These books are the backbone of Harlequin’s publishing empire, and no place for non-PC characters. Man, am I glad I made that female ghost Irish instead of black. Not that it mattered in the end.

Then, of course, there’s the biggest problem of all. Even though a romance happens in the book, I’m not entirely sure it’s a romance novel.

This is something I deal with every time I write a book. I come up with characters, throw shit at ‘em, and see how the story turns out. Half the time I forget to add the sex because I get caught up in the plot, and have to shoehorn in the sexy stuff during the second draft. The story’s supposed to be about two people falling in love. I think Belonging was the only book of mine that actually did that. The rest of them have some kind of mystery or adventure plot going on, and the romance happens as an afterthought.

I didn’t go into romance for the money. Good thing, because I haven’t made much yet. I switched over from science fiction because I like reading romances and I started getting ideas. I never objected to romance in anything I read. It wasn’t the superheroics that kept me coming back to the X-Men and the Avengers month after month; it was the soap-opera elements. Paranormal romance gave me the best of everything. Who wouldn’t go for that?

The trouble for me is a biggie: while I don’t mind reading sex scenes—bring ‘em on, the hotter the better—I find it hard to write them. Like fight scenes, sex scenes stop the story. I want to get back to the action, and not that action, either. This is why I could never have written Twilight. My Bella would have spent the book rooting out the secrets of the vampires instead of falling in love with one. Wish I’d thought of The Hunger Games, though. It’s an action book with a romance tacked on. Right up my alley.

It occurs to me I might be working in the wrong genre.

Like I said, out of maybe seven books I’ve only written one real romance. The rest are mysteries, adventures and comedies with romances pinned to their tails. That’s no surprise. Since I have trouble writing the sex scenes, I’m going to avoid them. When you’re trying to write M/M erotica, it gets kind of counterproductive.

Maybe I should switch again. Try an actual mystery novel. Or a fast-paced adventure. Or a paranormal mystery where the leads are attracted to each other but don’t necessarily get it on until after the story’s over. Or, given my love of dialogue, maybe I should be writing scripts.

But I do like writing romance, and I do have ideas, and for once there’s actually a market for something I have an interest in. With all the e-publishers springing up out there, the kind of books I write are bound to find a home somewhere. Just not at Harlequin. I couldn’t write to the formula. My way’s a lot more fun.

Maybe I should have sent them the other story. It had a guy and a girl on the run from bad guys, and they spend the bulk of the book with only each other for company. Except it wasn’t paranormal, it was more science fantasy (alien energy beings). And over half the book’s told from the guy’s point of view. And the woman has superpowers so she doesn’t need protecting. And she dies on page one. Then gets better. Oh yeah, and both of them are thieves and not necessarily very nice people. Especially the woman, who was a total bitch before she died. At least there’s sex, though I skipped writing that in the draft.

Only one thing to do: read all the erotica I can get my hands on and practice writing steamy sex. Oh yeah, I love this job.

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ October 14, 2013

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #267

The World Landscape Changes, Unraveling In a Heartbeat

As never before, the soul of humanity demands freedom. This will play out during the final months of 2013. From last week's forecast: "the '1776 uprising of the people' is here and now, and will be celebrated for generations to come." 

On the AWAKENING front, now, in the midst of societal chaos rises the art of living creatively. This is because the ART OF LIFE, of living life, is in the act of 'becoming' ... rising anew in this new-energy Aquarian Age.

At this time, the creativity of humankind begins to usurp greed as the prime motivator. A groundswell of artists will trade on their ability to be creative. Innovation becomes the middle name of many as they alter society toward the GOOD.

On the magickal, mystical front, the war against the 'human soul' explodes in the heavens spilling out onto the Earth in a cascade of torture and heinous crimes against humanity. Out of this, the Vipers expose themselves even more to the public eye. For, the spotlight of history shines with the intensity of the Divine itself.

Now, the 'Mages of Ages Lost' spread wings of glory over Mother Earth and humankind. With light blades of fierceness, they battle the dark-side serpent magicians eliminating more of their deceiving spells.

On the truth front, now comes a cataclysmic shift. The time of BARE KNUCKLE TRUTH is here. That is, many will be speaking their 'truth' with no frills -- with no sugar-coated niceness -- with 'no holds barred' verbal battles. This will be true in interpersonal relationships, on the world stage, and planet-wide with the continuing evolution-revolution of humanity.

On the personal front, a hugely dynamic week ahead for many of us. Good solutions will be applied to many situations, and progress made. However, a major hitches could arise, and may seem daunting. If you are able, put off a decision and let the situation ride for awhile. Likely, the right answer/path will become obvious.

Also, this is a great week to follow up on your dreams as far as a career or an inner calling. The stars are aligned in your favor.

As well, keep sprucing up home and hearth for the winter months ahead. Make certain you stock up and lay in supplies. The power grid could become unstable at some point, so alternative energy remains a very good investment.

On the paranormal front, *CONTACT* with ETs, other races, and Supernatural Beings is here as never before, and will only explode among the general population. For, the time has come.

This is also because the so-called 'world leaders' have become too corrupt and soul-lost. Thus, CONTACT is being made with the people -- those who are ready, willing, and able. In the future world leaders will likely claim *first contact* with ETs. However, this will be an attempt to hijack the worldwide, grassroots movement already underway.

With Halloween vibes increasing by the day, it's a spooky paranormal week ahead. Ghosts come out of the woodwork. Crypto creatures come out of their dens. There may even be a mermaid sighting or two.

On the economic front, a crazy nasty week of infighting between the Bankster Gangster factions. This means the world's stock markets wiggle-waggle, but don't entirely fall down.

Also, the gold and currency wars heat up with China and Brazil making a bid to economically control more of the world. The drumbeat of war will be used to cover up this financial coup attempt.

Meanwhile, the people will be brutally exploited by more cyber glitches. The threatened riots via Twitter accounts over non-working digital food stamps 'could' begin. And quickly escalate.

Right now, the major cities are not the place to be.

On the tyranny-at-work front, if riots break out, this could mean a *possible* martial-law crackdown and a 'declared emergency' by the administration. *If* this occurs during the next several weeks, the very foundation of the country will be shaken to its core. For now, the dictator show his true hand to the people.

On the war front, Africa is front and center this week. It's all about grabbing up the vast, invaluable resources and setting up shop. However, there are Good Forces battling to stop this plunder, this greed-immoral invasion.

Meanwhile, in the Middle East cooler heads prevail for right now. However, a 'false flag' is in the works to once again vilify Syria and/or Iran. After all, the motto of *some on the dark-side* is: don't start the economic crash without the benefit of a world war.

On the communication front, the Aquarian Age transformation of personal communication continues. More of us now become heart-grounded and  heart-centered. This way of being with each other brings forth renaissance communities.

On the home front, the dark-side Vipers uncoil and strike, wanting unlimited power. Prepare and beware, a horrific false flag event *could be* unleashed against the people.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: Top Nuke Commanders Terminated Following Missing Nuclear Warheads Report ~ Anthony Gucciardi ~ October 11, 2013 ~ Two of the top nuclear commanders within the United States have now been terminated following the exclusive high level military leak report by Alex Jones and myself regarding the secret and unsigned nuclear weapons transfer from Dyess Air Force base to South Carolina. Disturbingly, the high level suspensions from top generals within the military establishment are not the only red flags to follow the leaked report. ~infowars.com/top-nuke-commanders-fired-following-missing-nuclear-warheads-report~

On the food front, keep stocking up on the best food you can find. Meanwhile...

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: 'No Monsanto!': World marches against GMO food ~RT~ Oct. 12, 2013 ~ Thousands took to streets across the world’s cities on Saturday to protest the use of GMO products, with Giant Monsanto being the main target. Over 50 countries have been taking part in the march for world food day, and across 47 different US states.~ Berlin, Strasbourg, Chicago, London, Sydney and Mumbai are just a few of the 500 cities worldwide involved in the rallies, with each one drawing hundreds. ~infowars.com/no-monsanto-world-marches-against-gmo-food~

On the land changes front, the uprising of the sun is here. Weather goes ultra-wonky -- superstorms, flooding, roaring winds, severe variations in temperature. Volcanoes continue to wake up and activate. Earthquakes swarm across the planet, rippling and tearing at the crust.

From a prior forecast: "Meanwhile, the sun, the Great Lion Star, goes into vibrational chaos, snaking 'coronal mass ejections'. Essentially the sun has been poisoned by cosmic-particle events far, far away... and by the transit of several celestial bodies that are currently being hidden from the public.

This solar chaos is being mitigated by the Benevolent Force. However, if the sun's energies become too unbalanced, the Earth 'could' be hit by dangerous CMEs. One forewarning would be the gov-elite evacuation of D.C., and another vacation far from the white house."

On the energy front, now the ancient advanced technologies begin to surface before the public's eye. This will be a slow process, in part, because these amazing devices have been kept hidden from the people for century upon century.

However, those who are called the White Hats are revealing the truth about humanity's high-tech history. Also, Divine Intervention is playing its hand and assisting humankind at this time.

On the really bad news front, the secret civil war between several factions goes hot and heavy. This will be reflected by the ongoing purge of America's top military brass, and by the administrations demand for the complete *belly-up* surrender of congress.

Meanwhile, many of the people suffer drastically. There will be a major flashpoint around this during the coming week.

On the good news front, this continues, as state in last week's forecast: "overall the SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE soars toward true liberation. The Aquarian Age renaissance has taken root like a grand oak tree and grows daily. Each day 'creativity' becomes more understood and practiced as a way to improve life.

In the big picture, there is a lot of assistance coming from the Benevolents or the Otherworlders. For, they are our genetic brethren. Obviously, this may not be apparent. However catastrophic events have been, and are being mitigated."  

On the global mafia cabal front, evil rejoices believing a victory is within its skeletal grasp. However, the Vipers have been hoodwinked by the Good Side.
This scenario will unfold within the next two weeks, and involves the state-run media commonly known as the mainstream media. Watch for the sudden fireworks.

On the heroine and hero front, the veterans, all the men and women who battled to take back their rights in Washington DC. Along with all those who stood proud and loud for liberty in the face of being beaten with riot batons.

On the freedom front, the following HEADLINES outline the course of liberty, truth, and justice.

Riot Police Use Force Against Elderly Vets Outside White House
Kit Daniels | WWII veterans rammed with batons as they protest peacefully.

Breaking: Riot Police Confront Veterans As They Liberate Memorials
Kit Daniels | War veterans remind Americans how to resist tyranny. ~infowars.com~

History: Vets tear down barricades as feds back down
Infowars.com | Army of vets now marching on White House.

Spirit of Iwo Jima as Vets Storm Barricades
Infowars.com | Stunning display of patriotism as vets and patriots defy feds.

Rally at World War II Memorial Spills into Street
NBC Washington | The protest has taken a more political tone.

Trendwise, the gun culture goes Old West as New Age cowgirls and cowboys strap on their weapons and learn how to use them.

Community becomes the central focus of those who now take back their power from the corporate state. For, they realize their own ability to run their lives without interference from the dark-side powers that be.

Revisiting this developing TREND from a previous forecast: "As well, like a ball of snakes locked in brutal battle, this week will be a complex collision of trends that mostly involve the political scene. Several congressional situations are coming to a head, and a disaster 'could be' the end result.

Meanwhile, the society continues to fracture beyond repair. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. For now, the dark-side establishment's recipe to bring America to it's knees, is boiling, and about to bubble over.

However, many more Americans now stand together, heart to heart, mind to mind. And, more important, they stand for each other. This is the real key to our evolution-revolution, to overcoming the dark force."

This week is for allowing a sacred serenity to infuse your soul. Let the sunshine stream inside you and feel the colors of the sunrise or the sunset.

My Sexy Saturday ~ Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds II

Sexy Saturday kisses, everyone.

The season of the witch is here. Halloween is surrounding us with its foggy entrapping tendrils. Thus, I'm sharing *another* seven X-paragraphs from my Halloween-theme erotic romance menage, KANDY APPLE AND HER HELLHOUNDS.

~~~~~~

Goddess, they had the best, most sensually pleasurable hands in the universe. “What are you going to do to me, you bad hellhound?”

“Enjoy the shape of your bare ass.”

His lips grazed one of her butt cheeks and languidly nibbled. When his incredible kisses claimed the curves of her ass, Kandace moaned, “Oh, yes.”

Seductively, he nuzzled beneath the fullest flesh of her butt, then nipped her with his lips, his passion obvious. His mouth moved higher, tantalizing her with more kisses.

“I swear I’m a puddle of flame for you.” Kandace had never felt anything like this red-hot insanity of need. Her pussy begged to be noticed -- it was so wet and wanton.

Raising her ass high, he seized her legs above her knees, and her bouffant skirt brushed her back. Kandace grabbed white satin, attempting to fist the bedspread, but it was too slippery.

A dark rumble of lust sounded close by. “Lick her. I want to watch our Kandy Apple blaze out of control.”

Double Dipping

Normally I don't go for reruns, but the well ran dry this week so I'm reposting my blog from Monday's Shapeshifter Seductions. It's shapeshifter flash but not set in Talbot's Peak. I didn't even know slave market romance was a subgenre. Apparently so. What can I say? I get inspired by pictures of hot guys in cages.

# # #

Lady Jessalina Andalenova de Montelamorna y Danz—Lady Jess to her many intimates—swept into the slave market like she was crashing a society party. She was gorgeous, rich, and descended from a bloodline as old as the planet and infinitely more special. It was important she make an entrance, hence the cloak. A vintage garment but expensive, it was trimmed with real fur from a desert lynx, probably a member of an ancient rival tribe. Her people might once have been savages, but they’d always had exquisite taste.

Beautiful, royal, rich and bored. Of late she’d found the club scene tiresome, her circle of blueblood peers tedious. She needed diversion. Something exotic, something wild. Something handsome and male. Maybe even dangerous, though not as dangerous as she. That wouldn’t be sporting if events should turn boisterous. Therefore, a trip to the market. See what fish the Imperium’s nets had caught that might provide her with a measure of amusement.

No sooner had she reached the cages than one of the market’s many attendants bustled up to her. This one she knew, from previous visits. He knew her as well, enough to stop well short of her personal space and deliver the deep bow due her rank. “Lady Jessalina. You brighten our dreary halls. How may this humble one serve?”

“Mormot,” she cooed. “I’ll get right to the point. I’m here to acquire a playmate.”

“You know you shouldn’t be here in person. Royalty in the slave pens—”

“But I’m not buying slaves. I’m adopting a stray. I’m doing my civic duty on behalf of the lesser breeds.”

“Of course,” Mormot purred, going along with the game. Generous donations placed in the proper hands always won her that response. “Will you be keeping this one, or can we expect him back?”

“You wound me, Mormot. I always take care of my pets.” For as long as they amused her. Then she regifted them to her friends. She always trained her purchases, cared for them, and made sure they had good homes afterwards. Her friends had never complained. “What have you got for me? And nothing from the public pit. Those are always so dirty.” She shuddered.

“We have a fresh shipment just in. All cleaned up and ready for private sale.” He scurried ahead of her, down the well-trod path to the single cages. Lady Jess sauntered in his wake, her senses alert for the special “companion” to provide a few days’ amusement. Or weeks, if both of them were fortunate.

In spite of Mormot’s promises, she found the pickings slim. Pirate ships and low-grade smuggling operations didn’t crew their vessels with the flower of the galaxy. Sweet Araka, was that a Gorph? She clutched her cloak more tightly about herself and hurried past that particular cage. If this was considered the cream of the crop, she dreaded to think what they kept in the common pits.

She herself wasn’t helping matters. Her initial eagerness had hiked her musky scent. The more sensitive among the captives got a whiff of her and cowered as far back as their cages allowed. She wouldn’t have taken one of those anyway. Lady Jess liked her pets willing. Her claws were sharp and she enjoyed using them, but only for pleasure, not combat. It seemed she wasn’t about to get either this trip.

Then she saw him. Scrunched in his cage not out of fear or despair but necessity. Those beautiful legs had been built too long for the cramped dimensions of the cage. Lady Jess favored long legs in a man. So useful in pinning her so she couldn't scratch. The rest of him was pleasing too, from his thick swatch of hair to his bright brown eyes. Those eyes regarded her with open assessment, as if she and not he were the buyer.

Without taking her own slitted eyes from the male, she reached out a hand toward the attendant. “Mormot. What’s this one? I don’t know the breed.”

“Neither do we,” Mormot admitted. “We caught him in a raid down in the Dregs, along with the other one. They’re both new to this part of the planet. If you please, lady, could we move along? I wouldn’t trust the unknown with you. We caught a crew of Seppins. I know they’re barely civilized, but—”

He droned on for his ears alone. Lady Jess forgot him. The other male in the cage beside the long-legged alien had caught her full

attention. He’d pressed himself up right against the mesh and was clearly raking in her scent. His long hair, pulled away from a lean, rougish face, was as silvery as her own. His gray eyes held their own regard, that of predator for prey. Aware that he had her attention, he smirked at her and winked.

She caught her breath. It couldn’t be! The silver fox was the rarest of shifters. She’d seen only one in her lifetime. This male had all the traits, including—she sniffed carefully—yes, the scent. As for any other rumored advantages, those were concealed by the shapeless tunic used to clothe the higher-end merchandise.

He couldn’t possibly be a fullblood. That would be too much to hope for. But even a half or a quarter fox, if all the rumors were true …

Something exotic. Something wild. Something dangerous.

“This one,” she said to Mormot. “I’ll take this one.”

“Him? But he’s a stray. We’re not even sure of his breed. If it pleases you, lady, the Seppins—”

“This one,” she insisted. “He looks healthy.” She shot Mormot a glare. “He hasn’t been gelded, has he?”

“You know we never do that, lady. We leave that choice to the purchaser.”

“Excellent. I’ll take him. And … ” Her gaze shifted reluctantly away from the fox to the big brown-haired unknown with the lovely legs. She so loved a man with strong legs … “They were taken together?”

“Yes, lady. I don’t believe they’re, um … ”

She executed a delicate shrug. That didn’t much matter to her. If it were true, they’d still be fun to watch. “I’ll take them both.” She made a face. “I suppose there’s paperwork.”

“As always.” Mormot shook his head at the cages, but offered no further bewares. In the market, money spoke loudest. “The office, then. This way.”

The moment the curvy bit in the cloak and that slime of a slaver moved out of earshot, Finn shot to the side of his cage nearest Devon. “Pack your bags, Dev. We’re moving out.”

Devon snorted. “You don’t have to sound so happy about it.”

“Happy? I’m exuberant. Do you know who that was? Do you know what that was? That, my friend, was a snow lynx. Tellian royalty. Rich as shit. And she just bought us both.”

“I thought the plan was to get sold separately, clean out the goodies and meet up later.”

“The plan just changed. Let’s see where she takes us, and what kind of treasures she keeps there. This haul could set us up for the rest of our lives.”

“Or get us killed if we’re found out,” Devon said morosely.

“Quit being such a pooper. There may be other benefits, if I read her scent right. We may have to sleep with her.” The fox licked his grinning lips. “Poor us.”
