It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

No, not summer vacation. I’m talking Christmas shopping season! Crowded malls and nowhere to park and stores that are out of the one thing you’re looking for. Joy to the world!

I know it’s still officially Thanksgiving, but for a lot of stores Christmas started the second Halloween was over. The Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins went back in the freezer and the peanut butter trees took their place on the counters. (Why don’t they make peanut butter reindeer so we can bite their antlers off? Or squeeze the back end until peanut butter oozes out from under the tail? I think I just answered my own question.)

I’m already set for the holiday. Got my turkey and eggnog and a radio station that plays all 18 minutes of “Alice’s Restaurant.” If I decide to hit the movies, it’ll be to see the sequel to The Hunger Games, which seems appropriate for this particular holiday. As usual, there’s nothing much on TV except for football and the annual broadcast of Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Remember when they used to run 24 hours of Clint Eastwood movies the day after Thanksgiving? They’d kick off with his spaghetti westerns and around 4 in the afternoon switch over to Dirty Harry and his more modern action movies. Those were the days.

I will NOT be going out on Black Friday. Not for gifts, not for groceries, not even if you paid me. I don’t even want to go out on the road. I think I’ll walk to the library. It’s safer.

I recall, in years gone by, when a bunch of us would drive down to Baltimore for an SF convention held on Thanksgiving weekend. Our route took us past the local mall. It was always jammed when we went by Friday morning. It was still jammed when we came back Sunday afternoon. I often wondered if it was the same people, and they’d simply camped out in the food court instead of going home. That’s one way to guarantee a good parking space.

Now the shopping insanity starts on Thanksgiving day itself. Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t stores used to be closed on Thanksgiving? I seem to recall a distant year in the ‘80s when one of the local department stores opened for limited hours. Yeah, we went. After you’ve eaten and if you don’t like football and who wants to wash all those dishes, what else is there to do, really? Once again I’ve answered my own question.

For those of you who plan to go bargain hunting, a couple of tips gleaned from my experience. Go early. Have a plan and a list. Don’t try to find a parking space close to the store. You’ll drive yourself nuts. During this season, the best parking spot is whichever one’s open. So what if you have to walk a little farther? It’ll do you good. Besides, since you’ll be going early, you’ll be done before it gets dark. By the time you head out, the lot will be jammed and your spot, which looked so far away when you parked there, will be primo real estate. Yes, I have been automotively stalked by shoppers eager to take my vacated spot. This got embarrassing the one year when I couldn’t remember where I’d parked. At least two drivers followed me around in the hopes of grabbing my parking space. This is the time of year when I really miss my old VW Beetle. That domed roof made spotting my car in a crowded lot extra easy.

Forget all that. I don’t have much shopping to do, so I can put it off. Stuff will still be there. I’ve never had to go out the day before Christmas. I have gone driving on Christmas day to see if anything’s open. It used to be convenience stores and Blockbuster. Somebody was always there. Guess there’s nothing on TV Christmas Day, either.

This year I’m giving thanks that the powers that be at the CW network will be running Supernatural into Season 10, so I get to look at these guys for at least another year. This show has inspired three of my published books and a couple I have on my to-be-written list. If it ever goes off the air, I may have to give up writing, or go back to ripping off comic books. Happy holidays, everybody!

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ November 25, 2013

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #273 

Now, the societal and the new Aquarian cosmic forces clash and collide, then whirl into a new beginning. Humanity is on the cusp.

Stand or fall. Stand for the Divine rights of All. Or fall before the Viper tyrants.

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' spinning-attack the dark-side's monumental corruption. Exposure of their epic crimes will be blaring -- glaring beneath a divine spotlight that cannot be ignored. Watch the minions of the Viper elite begin scattering like cockroaches.

On the personal front, the following week is about new beginnings. This 'may' mean a loss of some kind will occur. However, on the other side is a crucial beginning that will vibrate with the Aquarian Age.

Also, do not suffer fools this week in particular. For, they are dangerous to your well-being.

On the paranormal front, this week EXTREME goes even more extreme in the paranormal/supernatural world. Ghosts keep coming out of the closet. UFO-swarms are already occurring throughout the country, and the world. Now, there will be an increase in sightings, and thus even more reports.

Most important, those on the Other Side, as it's known, will be reaching out beyond the veil to help loved ones. The time has come.

On the land changes front, the following month will likely feature more serious volcanic eruptions and continued earthquake swarms. Of highest importance, the natural electrical field ramps up, causing superstorms that will involve the ocean. Also, some people will begin to notice the effects of this field as it charges the ground.

On the economic front, disaster will be the name of this week and into the new year, 2014. This means in part, the bankster gangsters will be trying to raid the people's bank accounts on any and every excuse.

Likely the major banks will be turning on each other even more as they battle for kingship of the world's emerging digital economy. Meanwhile, the stock markets will, as usual, be 'propped' up in key ways that only serve the Super Evil Elite.

However, there will be a big move in the financial realm that actually helps humanity.

On the truth front, TRUTH this week reveals itself stronger than ever, especially in the alternative news media. For now, TRUTH sings like a choir of angels inside those who are willing to see, to hear, and to know.

Those who refuse these tidal waves of TRUTH are about to drown in their own ignorance. This will increase dramatically as the new year, 2014, begins, and will be a very sad scene

On the war front, a complex nightmare of events is about to ensue worldwide. While this is no surprise given the current number of ongoing war theaters... given the diabolical manipulations by the Viper elite... now it hyper-jumps to a new level.

However, even with the dark-side's desperate, Machiavellian stratagems to bring about a total world war, they will continue to FAIL for now. The heart of humanity says NO!

On the tyranny-at-work front, bigger and badder, martial law is surrounding the American people. As well, war machines out of a sci fi epic are being deployed, being placed in strategic locations.

The major cities are the most likely battlegrounds. Prepare, watch your six, and follow your intuition.

On the AWAKENING front, this week, and into next, there will be a nova-enormous AWAKENING around 'who' has been ruling humanity from behind the evil curtain. Because of this, a CIRCUS CIRCUS series of events will be placed before humanity as distractions.

On the communication front, in many instances, silence may be golden during  this Thanksgiving week. Know too, there 'could' be lots of subterfuge in how someone communicates with you.

On the other hand, joyous moments are yours for the taking while spending thankful time with loved ones. A new relationship may begin also.

On the home front, civil unrest could become the norm as the year ends. Chaos will be on the increase as well, because many more of the people turn their backs on the establishment.

At this point in time, trusting any politician's words without knowing what's true and real in the world, will only lead to massive disappointments, and possible dangerous situations for you, and your family. Now, it becomes ever more critical to know the 'real' state of the world.

On the food front, activism only leaps into high gear as more of the people learn about what is being 'intentionally' done to the food supply. Outrage takes over in the year, 2014.

And, on the good food news front, HEADLINE: Hawaii's Big Island *Bans* Biotech Companies, GMO Crops.

On the energy front, from the prior forecast: "the white-blazing light of the 'good force' now super-storms, spinning around the capital centers of the dark-side, powerful elite. This good-side spiritual attack will be ongoing, relentless.

Now, wave after wave of cleansing LIGHT seeks out the deepest, the darkest nest-lairs of evil. Given the magnitude of their age-upon-age, black arts' sorcery, the battle against this unnatural corruption will be long and fierce.

As well, watch out for, and prepare for massive failures in the power grid."

This week, the white-blazing light of the 'good force' goes superspeed and strengthens. Where still hidden, the dark-side is being routed and outed. For ALL to see, and know.

On the really bad news front, as the medical care system deteriorates rapidly, more of the people will fall through the cracks. Thus, those departing Earth will rise sharply.

Meanwhile, natural health care rises exponentially while fighting off the medical industrial complex. Now is the time to learn all you can about how to survive without a doctor.

On the good news front, more of the people are returning to the land and a more simplified way of life. This will be the salvation of humanity as a whole.

On the global mafia cabal front, within the nest of these Viper elite, there is a traitor they have not yet discovered. In the near future, bombshell info will be released that causes the eventual downfall of their evil empire.

On the heroine and hero front, all the women and men who stood and marched for freedom of speech in Dallas, Texas during the fiftieth commemoration of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. This, in opposition to the mayor who had declared a 'no free speech' zone.

On the freedom front, it's all stated in the following HEADLINES:

High-Def Video: Rampaging Feds Attack Free Speech Demonstrators
Kit Daniels | Police violently shoved demonstrators back one city block.

Police assault protestors and journalists in Dallas
Alan Jones | Melée began shortly after Jones spoke out against mainstream media and government’s official story about assassination of JFK.

Violent Suppression in Dallas: JFK 50th Anniversary Compilation
Kit Daniels | Staff action report and footage of censorship and violence surrounding the anniversary of a political assassination.

Alex Jones from the Grassy Knoll
Infowars.com | Alex and the crew broadcast live from the grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza.

Dallas Sheriff’s Dept. Lies About Assault On Peaceful Protestors
Kit Daniels | Sheriff’s spokesperson completely distorts the truth.

Trendwise, several complex trends emerge at this time -- one trend snake-winding around another. This involves how the Aquarian Age is evolving as the  the "Great Unraveling of Worldwide Society" continues -- ever quicker now. Or, the QUICKENING quickens.

At this point in history, look for massive and minor breakdowns in the functioning of governments worldwide. From local communities to the imperious, martial law regimes, nothing will work right as time progresses. This is because of humankind as a whole. That is, the spiritual AWAKENING of humanity can no longer be contained. Metaphorically, the child is outgrowing his/her garments.

This week take time to understand what blessings are in your life, and demonstrate your love to those who matter most to you.

Expect the Unexpected

Okay, as advice goes, let’s face it, that’s pretty sucky. How can you prepare yourself for the unforeseeable? If we knew when the unexpected would be putting in an appearance, we wouldn’t have an insurance industry.

However, “expect the unexpected” is the unofficial motto of us writers who consider ourselves pantsers. When we sit our butts down in front of the keyboard, half the time we don’t know what the hell’s going to happen. We’re a mass of literary Flying Wallendas, inching our way across a vast chasm on a slender wire buffeted by wind gusts and hoping like hell we make it to the other side intact. Plotters stop and build a bridge, but that approach won’t work for us. We’re constantly flinging ourselves into the abyss in the hopes there’ll be a net down there when we hit the bottom. We also mix our metaphors a lot.

This often results in a lot of abandoned stories, as that rich vein of imagination that looked so promising peters out after a couple of chapters and leaves us staring at the bare rock of a blank page. (I did warn you about the metaphors.) On the other hand, we suffer less from boredom because, like the reader, we have no idea what’s coming up, and won’t know what happens until we get there.

This is why I write: to find out what happens. A lot of times I know what happens, but not how the story gets from Point A to Point B. That’s the unexpected part.

Case in point: I’m fiddling around with that “slave romance” I started a couple weeks back. At the time I figured it would be a romp, a comedy involving a sexy, rich, but shrewd woman and the “slaves” she buys striving to outwit each other while enjoying frequent, steamy sex. Then the unexpected reared its unforeseen head, in the form of a bad guy, a would-be suiter after the woman’s money. He’s going to cause horrendous problems for our heroine, and her devoted boys will have to rescue her. Assuming she doesn’t rescue herself; her personality’s already shaping up that way. Meanwhile, not only is one of the male characters going off in an entirely different direction, but I think he may be black, or at least dark-skinned. I don’t know where the hell that came from. Call it my efforts at unplanned diversity.

This has happened before. I grew up white, female, and middle class, so when I write that’s my default position. In my mind, my characters are white. Except when they’re not. Let me revise that. My characters start out white. They may not stay that way. Another story I was fiddling around with involved a M/M/M ménage. I was fairly sure all three men were Caucasian. One’s a blue-eyed blond, for God’s sake. Then I read over a description I’d written and realized one of them was black. Oops. Fortunately, both of these stories are science fiction and set on alien worlds, so my glaring lack of knowledge about the black experience won’t be a hindrance. I can write them as people, which is what we’re supposed to do with our characters, though sometimes political correctness gets in the way.

I hadn’t meant to put that lesbian raccoon shifter into the one story either. Her large family came as a double surprise. As far as I know, the rest of them are straight. Although I could be wrong.

So many times the “unexpected” turns out to be sequels. One thing leads to another and another and before I know it, my short story has turned into a generational family saga. This is one unexpected consequence I’ve actually come to expect because I know how my brain works. It runs to sequels and spinoffs. In fact, I’m more surprised when my stories don’t lead to a series. I really should be writing screenplays.

And now here we are at the end of the blog. I’m sure you were expecting it, just not quite so soon. Surprise!

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ November 18, 2013

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #272

Now... Great White Whirlpools of Good Are Transversing the Planet

The time has come to tornadically destroy the black-shrouding sorcery of the evil ones -- once and for all. And so it begins, the final battle between the GOOD forces and the dark-side forces. This chaos-fierce crescendo will likely last through the year, 2014.

Prepare mentally and physically.

On the land changes front, amidst this cosmic epic battle, Earth shudders time and time again. Volcanic activity only increases, and 'unknown' volcanoes awaken -- 'possibly' two in Arkansas.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Scientists find new volcano rumbling under Antarctica ice: 1,370 tremors: 'It may blow or it may not. We don’t know.'"

Huge earthquake swarms continue, and become bigger and badder -- with major earthquakes likely happening within the next few months. More killer superstorms will rage over the surface of the planet, while ferocious windstorms sweep across Mother Earth ravaging population centers as never before.

This week, the Great Lion Star, the sun, blasts out new forms of particle energy. This is meant to help Earth in her transformation, to assist humanity in transforming into new AWAKE beings -- as well as transform the animals and plants into greater beings.

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 magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' brighten their lightblades, then swing like terrible whirlwinds through the black evil clouds of sorcery. With ever more force, they cut away the diabolical horror that has enslaved humankind for centuries.

Notice too, the magic moments appearing like diamonds during the course of your week. They might be only tiny glints, but keep an eye out. This is the emergence of a new way of life for humanity.

On the personal front, this week could be a tough one in several ways. However, whatever occurs will likely dissipate quickly. Use the wisdom learned and earned during your life to overcome, or work your way through.

Also, out-of-the-box career/business opportunities will surface at this time. As the old ways of earning a living crash, seek out the emerging, community-based opportunities that will bypass the establishment. Whenever possible.

On the paranormal front, another big week for UFOs sightings. That is, for those who are avidly paying attention to the crowded skies. Plus, 'contact' of various types, grows -- with many more talking about their years of contact, or their recent contact, that has occurred with otherworldly beings, extraterrestrials, and supernaturals.

As well, the Big Foot clans keep offering more clues as to who they are, and why they now 'expose' their presence. Also, in the near future: representatives of the advanced, ancient remnant populations on Earth will slowly come out of hiding. However, they will only make contact with those who welcome them, and who are able to emotionally accept this type of reality.

Also this week, look out for some *high strangeness* happenings!

On the economic front, a disaster of a week and month ahead for many. Banking glitches will likely continue as the dark-side elite attempt to force the people toward a cashless, one-world, we-own-your-account system.

Meanwhile, the 'casino' stock markets don't play fair with anyone except the bankster gangsters. While this has been the rule for the last two decades, at least, now it becomes transparent-apparent to the general population.

As well, likely the bottom will drop out of many major stocks. That is, those that are 'not' being artificially propped up. Yes, the time has come to 'stick a fork in the stock market-driven economy'. However, there will be no 'visible' total crash of the market, and there could be a computer-manufactured upswing.

On the truth front, only the *real* TRUTH about the past -- the deep, dark and wide past -- will feed humankind's starving soul at this point in time. Now, more enormous revelations come forth.

For, what has been nefariously kept hidden bursts forth like the most wondrous springtime. Such truth is the nourishment the people truly need in order to move into the 'possibilities' of the future.

On the war front, the war drums pound -- the staccato louder, faster, demanding. During the next three weeks, there will be several brutally insane incidents in the various war theaters. This is designed to force 'the people' into accepting a worldwide state of war.

Thus, to accept an authoritarian regime. Thus, to always obey without question.

However, resistance continues to flare up -- fires that cannot be stamped out. For, the people, in their worldwide heart, do not want war. They want real community with each other, where the heart is free to live and love.

On the tyranny-at-work front, look for the ranks of the TSA to explode in the coming weeks. They will be weaponized and used as mere fodder. For, their job is to wring the last vestiges of liberty and free will out of the people.

Or, to ignite a civil war -- a conflict of slaughter and mayhem that will be cheered on by the dark-side controllers. They will watch from their front-row seats, and constantly fuel the bloody ruinous battles.

Because, above all else, these soulless elites want power. They want to watch humanity tear itself apart. Like ravenous hideous beasts, their psychopathic addiction to pain and suffering must be fed.

On the AWAKENING front, quantum leaps in AWARENESS continue firestorming across the world. This will be seen in the rise of spiritual communities. In the rise of the people who take to the streets. And, in the rise of the independent cowgirl-cowboy culture.

On the communication front, the turning point has arrived. Now, it becomes all about the messages delivered by the people from the grassroots. That, instead of the rules and dictates delivered, forced upon humanity, from the pyramidal top down.

Amplifying this change, there will be endless dictates from the dark-side that will crash down like storm-angry rivers. Endless efforts will be made to crush, extinguish the messages of the rising-toward-the-renaissance people.

On the home front, mass confusion, mass deception, a mass uprising... so ends the year, 2013. Also, traditions of celebration fall away in the face of reality -- in the face of a new spiritual 'knowing'.

At this time, mass consumption comes to the halt amid a rabid rush to consume everything in sight by some in the population. For, now comes the Age of the Artisan.

On the food front, like pit vipers, the Big-Corp GMO makers attack viciously. They beat down the people with their monstrous bags of money, their ill-gotten gains... earned only because of their leviathan lies and deception.

Meanwhile, the people battle back with the sharp shining blade of truth... with a nobleness of purpose that cuts through the big-fist, pummeling propaganda.

As always, keep stocking up on as much good food as you can find, and store.

On the energy front, the white-blazing light of the 'good force' now super-storms, spinning around the capital centers of the dark-side, powerful elite. This good-side spiritual attack will be ongoing, relentless.

Now, wave after wave of cleansing LIGHT seeks out the deepest, the darkest nest-lairs of evil. Given the magnitude of their age-upon-age, black arts' sorcery, the battle against this unnatural corruption will be long and fierce.

As well, watch out for, and prepare for massive failures in the power grid.

On the really bad news front, with the acceleration of time, the hits keep on coming against humanity. As stated before: "Now Comes the Great Unraveling of Worldwide Society"

This week, the focus will not only be on the tornado-ravaged areas of the country, but on those unjustly ravaged by the failing economy.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "TAKE IT TO THE BANK: Banking industry profits reached a record level of $141 billion in 2012 as more vacancy signs appeared on Main Street. Now that the Wall Street cabal have syphoned every ounce of blood from their customers/victims through ATM fees..."

On the good news front, the people continue wising up, and many are on the fast track to a new clarity of vision. To a new strength of purpose. They are the real leaders of the future... and yet each one of us is a leader. That is the gift and challenge of the Aquarian Age.

In the near future, look for the demise and downfall of several corrupt politicians, as well as other world-stage players. For, they now gradually fall like a complex pattern of dominoes.

On the global mafia cabal front, cornered on several fronts now, the Viper elite strike en masse on every front possible. They are well aware they need to beat the *AWAKENING* people back.

From a previous forecast: "while every vile and sinister crime now boomerangs bigtime against the Viper global elite -- still, these dark-side fools reign down their terror upon humankind."

On the heroine and hero front, the late Robert Ghost Wolf, and the Hopi Elders -- grandfather one, grandfather two, and Hopi grandmother -- who came on with Art Bell ~ June 16, 1998~ to deliver a warning about the endtimes -- or, the transition into the Aquarian Age. As a side note, much of what they spoke about has come to pass.

On the freedom front, as stated before: Liberty is rising like an unstoppable tide. Increasingly, the desire for freedom burns -- a diamond-brilliant flame in the hearts of many now.

From a prior forecast: "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."

Trendwise, everything goes *extreme* at this point in history. Extreme kindness toward others versus extreme cruelty... this is merely one example that will be seen and experienced as you go about your daily business.

Sadly, many people now fall into the depths of decadence, and go zombie-mad with the times. In several respects, society turns in on itself, rending and tearing like a maddened beast.

Smaller communities, shared with others of good heart, is one shield against this global 'maddening'. And LOVE, always love straight from the heart. Yet, only offered to those who are able to receive. This is critical.

This trend continues full blast... "HEADS UP! Those of you who love freedom, and are actively dedicated to liberty will be *targeted* as an enemy of the state. While this has always happened, now the PURGE goes extreme. Watch your sixes, and be wary of any fed-run drills."

Also, from a past forecast: "At this time, the purge of the military continues with firings, resignations, and assassinations. This will heighten the factional conflict already taking place, and hidden from the public at large. However, news of these battles leaks out, especially on the alternative news sites of 'we the people' journalists-reporters."

This week is for a deep yet soft reflection on your life in these times. Take long moments to be alone with yourself.  Also, a leisurely walk in Nature with a good friend, a loved one, a beloved pet, could be just what you need.

My Sexy Saturday ~ White Fang's Heroine

Sexy Saturday kisses, everyone.

For this week, here's another snippet taste from one of my SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS WIPs.

Z'Pasha, or Pasha as she is called in the human world, is an Egyptian cat goddess, who is seeking justice for the wrongful heinous death of her human friend. She's finally tracked down the supernatural ninja killers, and realizes she needs help from the super wolf, White Fang.
~~~~~~

Seven sentences from Chapter Two of White Fang, Ace Wolf Reporter ~


Jealousy did not usually afflict  Z’Pasha. Staggered by her sudden reaction, she felt the sharp pangs grow like grapevines, as White Fang spoke with Kitty inside her home –  both of them now shifted to human.

Many men, of every race, had fallen at Z’Pasha’s feet, and she had lustily basked in the extreme pleasures they offered. On occasion, to gain her own ends, she seduced men, especially shapeshifters – the ability natural to her as a feline goddess.

As Z’Pasha listened to White Fang’s chivalrous attention to Kitty, she wondered how pleasurable would it be to gain his assistance in her quest for vengeance?

Having briefly witnessed the Super Wolf’s handsome attributes as a man, obviously his seduction would be no hardship. Inspired by the right woman, Z’Pasha instinctively knew the Syxxrion would provide a passion and pleasure that enslaved the carnal senses.

Savanna Kougar ~ Run on the Wild Side of Romance 

In the Air

The other week we had a minor scare over at our other blog, Shapeshifter Seductions. On that blog we five writers have been chronicling the adventures of a cast of shapeshifters in Talbot’s Peak, a remote town in Montana. Imagine our consternation when we discovered an ebook publisher was putting out a multiple-author series about love and lots and lots of sex set in a remote town in Montana. Turned out it was cowboys and not shapeshifters getting it on out there in the boonies, so this time we’re okay.

Not so much with the other book, about the sexy werewolf in the town of Talbot. I’m assuming that writer got the name the same place we did: Universal Pictures’ The Wolf Man, starring Lon Chaney Jr. as reluctant werewolf Larry Talbot. As homages go, it’s pretty obvious.

We’re not the first writers to come up with “secret enclave of strange beings” stories, or even the first to do a romance series involving shapeshifters. There’s a huge market for romance right now, and tons of writers with tons of ideas all looking for receptive publishers. There’s bound to be serious overlap.

Because that’s the nature of ideas. They’re raw materials, clay we dig out of the imagination mine and shape into a story. Sometimes it seems like a bunch of us latch onto the same vein of clay at the same time. All of a sudden you’ll see a flurry of stories about hidden towns populated by shapeshifters or vampires or aliens or demons or really, really sexy pagan priests who believe making love is the best form of worship. Everybody pairs up or triples up or whatever, and a good time is had by all.

Is this plagiarism? No, it’s coincidence. Ideas are free for the taking. It’s the execution, the specific way you shape the idea clay, that makes the result unique and copyrightable. You can give a dozen writers the same idea, and you’ll get a dozen totally different stories. There may be a bit of duplication, but it’ll probably be spotty. Not a cause for alarm.

Does plagiarism happen? Well, yeah. Ask Nora Roberts how she’s feeling about Janet Daily these days. Or the people who’ve posted fanfic or free stories at various venues, only to find their work lifted, word for word, by a self-published “writer” on Amazon. In this case the idea was, “let somebody else do all the hard work and then steal it.” That’s not what’s writing’s about.

Here’s a true-life coincidence. My first published romance was Coyote Moon. A female auto mechanic who doesn’t know she’s half werewolf is courted by a werecoyote. At the time I wrote and sold the story, I was completely unaware of the existence of Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series, about a shapeshifting female auto mechanic. Since then I’ve learned enough about the series to know we each went in totally different directions with the same essential premise, and I had no intention of turning mine into a series anyway, so legally I’m off the hook. To this day I’ve never read any of the books. However, I’ll bet there are people out there who’ve read both and believe I’m a stinking thief. Not so, but how do I prove it? I had an idea and I wrote it my way. How was I to know somebody else had the same basic idea before I did? I was new to paranormal romance and urban fantasy back then, and hadn’t read extensively enough to know what was already out there. Briggs’s lawyers never came after me, so either she isn’t aware of my book or she is aware of how general ideas float around, waiting for writers to make them specific.

Then there were the SF stories I wrote about the telepathic pterosaurs that bore more than a passing resemblance to Anne McCaffrey’s

Pernese dragons, but we won’t go into that. Again, lawyers never became involved. My series, had I continued it, was already heading in a totally different direction. Remember, it’s all in the execution.

Sure, there’s a lot of iffy stuff out there, especially in Hollywood. Back in the ‘70s producer Glen Larson (or “Glen Larceny” as he was known by a lot of working writers) had a penchant for putting shows on the air that bore more than a passing resemblance to other people’s work. Check out Larson’s cop show McCloud and the Clint Eastwood flick Coogan’s Bluff, for example. Or Battlestar Galactica (1970s version), that hit the airwaves in the wake of the phenomenal success of Star Wars. Larson swore the show was in development before George’s movie took off. Maybe it was. Maybe the same general idea hit them both.

Just like ABC and NBC both decided to create shows about fairy tale characters living in the modern world, not long after DC/Vertigo tried shopping Fables to them. Fables is a comic book series about fairy tale characters living in the modern world. Neither TV show bears much resemblance to the comic book, or to each other, for that matter. Wherever ABC and NBC got the idea, they did different things with it. Though I’m sure Fables creator Bill Willingham would love to know the source of their inspiration.

In short: you can’t copyright a basic idea. You can copyright what you do with it. If you’re “inspired” by others’ works (ask me about my obsession with Supernatural some time. Bring a lunch.) make sure to keep it just that—inspiration—and give it your voice and your personal spin. In other words, be original. If you want to write a series about a town of shapeshifters in Montana, go for it. But don’t name it Talbot’s Peak, don’t include a wolf pack feuding with a criminal organization run by an evil tiger, and don’t make the mayor a squirrel. We’re watching.

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ November 11, 2013

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #271

***From Angelic Forecast ~ #253 on July 7, 2013***

Winds of Change ~ Waters of Change ~ Fires of Change ~ And Land Changes

These are the themes for the latter half of the year, 2013. For now, what has been called the Quickening, goes full blast across the planet. Get ready.  

At this time, these 'forces of change' will continue to Quicken -- with catastrophic events rising around the world. Prepare.

On the land changes front, the sun, the Great Lion Star, continues to take center stage this week.

HEADLINES: 28 Solar Flares Erupted from Sun in a Week, More on the Way 'and' Video: Strongest solar flare of 2013 erupts from Sun — Space.com 'and' X3 Solar Flare Causes Rare 'Magnetic Crochet'

From a previous 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."

And... 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 magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' fiercely blast their light power across Mother Earth exposing the 'real truth' of humanity's past. For, the dark cabal's carefully constructed lies are unraveling faster than Superman.

As well, the POWERFUL MAGICIANS among us emerge more and more to cast their mighty energies against the dark-side Vipers. Their bold intent is to magickally form a GOOD future for one and ALL.

On the personal front, this will be a major up and down, carousel-spinning week. Good things will be intermingled with significant challenges.

Keep on trucking... keep muddling through, and pressing forward. Most of all keep an eye on your financial situation. Further, it is important to remain constantly aware, even hyper vigilant about your surroundings -- and who is around you, at this point in history.

On the paranormal front, likely there will be more significant news about Big Foot, as well as other legendary cryptids. With all the land changes and energy changes happening, these hidden creatures are being revealed to the whole of humanity.

UFOs continue to swamp the skies, and individual contact is still on the upswing. Several benevolent races are trying to make their presence known, and are fighting off the advanced tech of 'military industrial complex'.

But beware! On the dark 'be very afraid' side, several malevolent races who masquerade as GOOD GUYS are attempting to make contact.

On the economic front, disaster after scandalous disaster worldwide, rules this week, and likely the rest of the year, 2013. Tax revolts go mega-savage in several European countries. This will cause a tsunami of uncertainty in the stock markets.

Out of this, and the groundswell of rising liberty, the Money Vipers panic. They now ramp up their brutal crackdowns on the people, using law enforcement like a hundred-pound hammer to beat down any attempt at economic freedom.

China, even as the new kings of gold, are facing a resistant population that will no longer bow down. Currently this Asian civilization is imploding-exploding internally. while sending their troops worldwide to protect the government's financial interests. This level of military deployment will backfire, and soon.

Now ECONOMIC FREEDOM becomes the battle cry of many. They will stop at nothing to prevail, to win a new life.

Meanwhile, the economy slowly, slowly crashes down around everyone's ears. Do whatever you can to protect yourself, and your loved ones.

On the truth front, TRUTH wings skyward like a fire-breathing battle dragon. For, more of us now ravenously hunger to know what is the true, true reality. That is, what is 'truth' beyond the orchestrated show that has been labeled as 'truth'.

As the dark-side's manufactured chaos consumes more of the population by destroying their lives, this hunger for TRUTH will only spread and become a firestorm. In the end these 'evil ones' will lose.

On the war front, the march toward a major world war goes tyrannically insane this week, as several 'world leaders' use every propaganda trick to get their populations onboard. That is, rah-rah rallied up for war -- for exterminating others who are the alleged enemy.

Countering these diabolicalmoves will be the continued rise in the Aquarian Age energies. For, peace lives as a reality within the hearts of many. Peace not as slaves to a spy-grid, brutal system. But peace, as free societies agreeing to cooperate with one another for the benefit of ALL.

On the tyranny-at-work front, mad-dog rabid is an understatement. From a prior forecast: "Danger Will Robinson ... There are rabid, dark-side forces who want to trigger an all-out civil war. They are using the now militarized police and SWAT teams to deliberately 'egg' the people on. Insane, brutal tactics is the name of their endgame. So beware and take care."

On the AWAKENING front, a new type of AWAKENING begins this week. This will be an escalation of living from the heart -- and understanding from the heart center. However, this will be living from the WISE HEART not the foolish heart.

On the communication front, major glitches in electronic communication devices will likely continue. This will be partly due to heightened solar activity.

Also, the epic battle increases. Cyber hackers on the good side and on the viper-bad side fire pulse-streams at one another. Meanwhile, those known as Benevolents intervene on behalf of humanity, where they are able to assist.

Be careful of your words this week. What you say could come back to haunt you in a big bad way.

On the home front, times toughen -- the people battle back to keep what belongs to them, and to simply survive.  At times, this will look like clashes in the streets. It will also look like mass rallies.

As well, it will be the people turning their backs on the establishment, and making their own way. Remember from a previous forecast: The Rise of Cowgirl and Cowboy Defiance Sweeps Across the Country

On the food front, there will be a giant spotlight on the chemicals ruining the food supply in the coming weeks. This will push even more of the population into growing their own, and buying food locally.

Meanwhile, using the strong-arm agencies of the gov, the 'corporate giants' will persecute anyone and everyone they can get their bully-cruel mitts on. Anything to stop food self-sufficiency from taking root, and spreading.

On the energy front, HEADLINE: IRS Advises of Power Outage Ahead of Grid Ex Electricity Drill: 'This service will be unavailable'

REMEMBER !!! The Power-Grid-Down Drill "GridEx II" on Nov 13-14, 2013. In the recent past drills have been used to *cover up* all sorts of sinister crimes against the people.

On the really bad news front, from this point forward, police-state tactics will increase dramatically. Push back against this loss of rights will erupt like a super volcano, and not stop.

On the good news front, innovation and inventiveness continues to surge. The underground renaissance takes shape, and the people discover new ways of living that will, in the long run, be far superior to current times.

In the near future likely a sinister leader will fall to his disgrace. This will open up a better pathway toward GOOD, toward ridding the world of the dark-side serpent masters.

On the global mafia cabal front, two kingpin bankster gangsters on the dark-side duke it out for all the marbles, while putting humanity in the crossfire, and keeping the economy on temporary life support.

On the heroine front, SHERRY PEEL JACKSON joins The Power Hour ~thepowerhour.com~ to discuss the illegalities of the IRS. Sherry is a former IRS employee who discovered the truth about the income tax. She began speaking out, sharing her knowledge with people. She was arrested for a non-crime and sentenced to 4 years in prison. Her story is a travesty and more people should know about it. ~sherrypeeljackson.org~

On the hero front, whistleblower, William Robert “Tosh” Plumlee, a former CIA contract pilot. From Coast to Coast am: John B. Wells was joined by Robert Plumlee, who worked as a pilot for clandestine CIA flights, transporting arms to Cuba before Castro took power. He discussed how scandals from Iran-Contra to the failed presidential bid of Senator Gary Hart all tie-in to breaking international stories in the news today. ~coasttocoastam.com/show/2013/11/02~

On the freedom front, the fight for freedom scores another victory this week or into next week. However, now there are major moves to coopt alternative media with Big Corp money. As always, discernment and your inner truth meter, are your best friends when ferreting out the truth.

Trendwise, the Quickening becomes front and center as the Aquarian Age asserts itself and demands change after change. 'What was' slips away to be replaced by new and incredible 'possibilities' for the future.

As well, time itself feels different for many of us, even wonky -- out of kilter. Now this 'feeling' will grow among the general population, causing the faster UNRAVELING of established but crumbling society.

Now, as time hurtles forward, there will be those who resonate spiritually while others emotionally tumble and stumble. The wisest strategy is to come together, work together, and stand together.

This week is for new dreams, new visions, or glimpses of what life can truly be during the Aquarian Age -- that is, if we are brave enough to pursue these sparkling visions.

Excuse #514

I had a topic for a post today, but what with one thing and the other--oh hell. The truth is, I just lazed off today. I didn't write anything. I just kind of piddled around the house. I think I mean "fiddled." Yeah. Fiddled around. Piddled makes it sound like I haven't been housebroken. As you can see, the writing machine definitely needs a tune up.

I definitely have a problem with procrastination when it comes to the writing. Call it writer's block, call it avoidance, call it laziness, which is my label for it. The upshot is, you ain't getting a blog today. You're getting me rambling along for a couple of hundred words on whatever hits me as my fingers move. Feel free to skim. Nothing of earth-shaking importance will be imparted herein today.

Don't panic, I'm not sick. It's nothing physical. Just a case of the ol' don't feel like its. At least for this one I can do stream of consciousness and call it a blog. You should see the hair-pulling that goes on when I have to produce a flash scene for Shapeshifter Seductions and the creative well has run dry.

How can you tell when I'm on a block or just don't feel like writing? Take a look at my house. It'll be clean. When I don't want to write, I put it off by doing housework. The other day I spray-cleaned the kitchen counters and scrubbed the accumulated grease spatter off the side of the fridge. I filled 10 bags with raked leaves for pickup and gave the lawn one final mow for the season. I'm going to have to take the mower out and get the blades sharpened for spring. Maybe that's what I'll do instead of writing next week's blog.

There's also the allure of cable TV and all its delightfully trashy reality shows. Between Duck Dynasty and Call of the Wildman, I expect the History Channel to change its name to Your Cable Redneck Station any day now. Instead of writing first thing in the morning, I've been getting up to watch the Buffy reruns on FX. This morning Spike got his soul back and Xander saved the world. Ah, Spike. Now I remember why I loved him so much, the surly, amoral bastard.

Oh, and for those worried about the stray cat situation, Momma and her kittens have been relocated to a local Amish farm, where they'll have a warm barn to sleep in and all the rodents they can chase. Farm cats are working cats, so they won't be bored.

Okay, that looks like sufficient verbiage. Back to writing avoidance. I've started rereading Stephen King's It. Sucker clocks in at over 1000 pages, small type. That ought to keep me occupied for a couple of weeks at least.

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ November 4, 2013

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #270 

The Rise of Cowgirl and Cowboy Defiance Sweeps Across the Country

At this turn in history/herstory, those with the spirit of liberty beating in their breasts now spread out on the land, and form their independent communities. Many will also go outlaw as in the DIVINE OUTLAW. They will consciously ignore the demands of the criminal establishment, and live by this creed: do what is right and true and sacred.

For, they have embraced the SPIRIT ENERGY of freedom for All humanity. This Aquarian Age frequency now encompasses the entire planet.

On the AWAKENING front, as the AWAKENING nova-bursts across the world, every form of tyranny will be less and less tolerated by the people. Massive uprisings, riots, and protests will likely become commonplace during the year, 2014.

In opposition, to crush this spirit of true freedom, the dark-side disguises their evil by putting on the 'green mask', and pretending to be the saviors of Mother Earth. Nothing could be further from the truth.

On the personal front, this is a good week to assess your situation in the world, and to realistically plan for the future. Also, cleaning up areas in your home that haven't been touched in awhile, will prove to be beneficial. For, you could discover much-needed items or information.

This is also a wonderful week to express your love for those you care most about. Wrap your precious heart energy around them. Feel your bond deepen and become richer, then make plans to celebrate the holiday season.

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' slice their lightblades through the various masks worn by the Viper warlocks. Out of this is revealed the 'true' nature of those who are called 'our' leaders.

Worldwide, now the black-masked emperors fall faster from grace. Collectively, the world turns their back, while prayers pour forth like a mighty divine river asking to be saved from this pit of soulless vipers. The prayers are working.

On the paranormal front, bigger than ever, look for UFO vehicles, and fleets, to make themselves known worldwide. 'Sighting reports' may even be forced into the brain-drain media. However, metaphorically pull back the curtain, and check alternative news if you want to know what's really going on.

And, wow! The closet door on the paranormal has been blasted open, at this time, freeing all sorts of supernatural creatures and phenomena. Beware! Be very AWARE.

On the land changes front, acceleration is the key word. And the sun, the Great Lion Star, takes center stage.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: 28 Solar Flares in Seven Days ~ More than two dozen M- and X-class flares have erupted from the sun over the past week, blasting radiation into space. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the rapid-fire explosions between Oct. 23 and Oct. 30, signaling an increase in activity over what has been a rather mellow solar maximum. Several flares emerged from an active region of the sun currently facing Earth known as sunspot AR1884. ~coasttocoastam.com/pages/28-solar-flares-in-seven-days~

From the previous 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."

And... 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 economic front, this week the big, bad financial realm dishes out a mishmash of nastiness, cruelty, and massive deception. In essence, the bankster gangsters lie about anything and everything in a 'final' bid to dominate every world resource.

This takeover move will be countered by Benevolents on the side of humanity. There will likely be a continuing *glitch cyber war* between the dark-side controllers and those who don't want a global monetary collapse. This 'could' cause stock markets to dance like crazed marionettes as their strings are pulled from nearly every direction.

In the meantime, gold prices will be used as a CIRCUS CIRCUS distraction. Also, during 2014, the confiscation of gold and any precious metal will likely begin. Take precautions.

As always, keep an eagle eye on your financial concerns, especially when using the Big Banks. Some people are having their accounts unceremoniously closed without a warning.

On the truth front, a colossal week ahead as new, greater magnitudes of TRUTH volcanically erupt throughout the worldwide population. In part, this means more of us WAKE UP to the fact that we've been swimming through a sea of intentionally created evil. That the world is not as advertized and sold to us.

Also, there will be more 'truths' revealed around what actually occurred during the Benghazi incident. This is important because it sends another ripple of 'real truth' through the matrix of lies and deception, thus, breaking it apart.

On the war front, a beyond-complex week and month ahead. The brushfire wars happening in several war theaters will flare up viciously. For, the dark-side Vipers throw tons of fuel on these Machiavellian-manufactured conflicts.

Because of this, more of the world's population will become anti-war, and resist the idea of another World War. Likely, in the very near future, there will be two 'events' in the Middle East that will cause another huge AWAKENING against the dark-side establishment.

On the tyranny-at-work front, while every vile and sinister crime now boomerangs bigtime against the Viper global elite -- still, these dark-side fools reign down their terror upon humankind.

Martial law will be their favored weapon to crush the people's spirit. They plan on relishing as they watch their jackbooted troops stomp humanity into the proverbial dust.

On the communication front, now cyber glitches become more frequent as the battle for control of the internet ensues. Also, the serpent-lashing activity of the sun will affect communications systems worldwide -- how much these systems are affected will be covered up, per usual.

As humanity moves toward a more heart-centered communication with each other, goodness and good actions will rise among certain groups of people. From a recent forecast: "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 home front, the times become extra dicey with constant changes overwhelming many of us, at this point in time. Come together, work together with others of like mind. Good relationships make all the difference.

Also, as stated about the Divine Outlaws in a prior forecast: "...the time of the DIVINE OUTLAW has arrived. That is, those who are inspired by sacred truths rise against tyranny by creating their own communities, occupying the land, and taking back their futures. As well, the idea of 'don't comply' becomes their mantra."

And... from a past forecast: " ~Don't buy, don't comply~ becomes the rallying point for many more of us in the coming months. Also, the great revolt against 'being licensed' begins. This will only go NOVA as small business are killed off by the endless rules and regulations of the system."

On the food front, all heck is about to rock the country. That is, protest against poisonous-toxic foods, riots against the establishment's use of food as a weapon, will go rabid in the coming months, especially as the year 2014 progresses. Stock up as much as you can!

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: Los Angeles GMO-Free Shift Signifies 'No-Surrender' Revolt Against Monsanto ~ Your activism is working! Los Angeles, CA is trying to ban the growth and proliferation of GMO seeds.

Across the world, the rebellion now ramps up. HEADLINE-SNIPPET: Cannabis Plants Pop up All over Germany as Form of Protest ~ In a small town in Germany, activists planted cannabis seeds as an act of defiance against the ‘demonization’ of the healing plant.

On the energy front, as spoken about in prior forecasts, there will be many innovative energy devices that use a variety of fuels. Many of these handmade/small shop devices will be available underground, and run by alcohol, or white lightning.

Setting up an alcohol still at this time could be a very wise move, given how many vehicles and other machines will run on alcohol. That is, with simple changes made to the engine. ~alcoholcanbeagas.com~

On the really bad news front, as starvation becomes more widespread, as the job hours are cut, as life becomes unaffordable for many more, crimes will increase. This will be especially true in the major cities.

Help out where you can, but hunker bunker down with family, with those who are on your same wavelength. It's time to protect each other, care for each other. Do not make the mistake of relying on the system. Also, watch out for the betrayal of others.

On the good news front, at this time, pulling together as a community is exactly what human beings need most. That is, to evolve spiritually, and thus, to create the Aquarian Age renaissance.

The ability to live creatively, as stated before, will expand as a chosen lifestyle, and is the gift we all give to each other. From a previous forecast: "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 global mafia cabal front, not a pretty picture as the various factions strive to prove they are the biggest, the baddest, and deserve to rule over the people.

In the upcoming weeks, a backstabbing campaign will begin, targeting one group of tyrants. This will result in a major whistleblower coming forth.

Al the while, character assassinations ramp up with the mudslinging coming fast and furious. As well, the behind-the-scenes assassinations mount up, and coup is counted.

On the heroine and hero front, the *JURY* who acquitted Sheriff Nick Finch, who stood tall for the second amendment. HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "UPDATE!!! Sheriff Nick Finch Reinstated After Jury Acquits ~ WCTV - It took a jury less than an hour-and-a-half to come back with a verdict in the official misconduct trial of the former Liberty County sheriff. That verdict was not guilty; and Nick Finch has already been reinstated as sheriff."

On the freedom front, this week will be pivotal in turning the tide against the enemies of freedom. Much of what occurs will remain behind the scenes. However, look for evidence of another false flag event meant to distract and break the spirit of the people.

From the previous forecast: "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, interest in the planet, Mars, continues to trend upwards. This appetite for the latest info will be fed by carefully planted news stories. However, the 'real scoop' about Mars will continue to surface for those who are looking -- for those who are tuned in, and willing to know the truth.

With soul-destroying decadence making a bid to overtake humanity... with a mindless ignorance eating away all that is GOOD about living on Earth... now rises a soul-building way of life that goes hand-in-hand with the rise of the cowgirl and cowboy culture.

For, this is the crossroads choice facing each one of us, and facing humankind as a whole. Will you choose living on the land *or* within the imprisoning confines of concrete?

From the *October 6, 2013 Angelic Forecast ~ #266* ... "as the desire for liberty roars into an all-consuming fire, the police state tightens its grip, using the current gov-shutdown as an excuse. Out of this there will be more heinous, horrendous acts against the people.

Currently, the 'dark-side powers that be' are in a major panic. Thus, it is wise, at this time in our history, to stay as far away as possible from any type of police/military checkpoint and any manner of official gov drill. Keep tabs on these drills because they are all over the country and popping up like mushrooms."

This week will be perfect for dreaming up practical ways to improve your life... for dreaming up sweet ways to show your loved ones how much you care about them. Smile as much as possible at those who are part of your life's routine because everyone is in need.

My Sexy Saturday ~ All Shades of Blue Paradise II

Sexy Saturday kisses, everyone.

Today's snippet stars Lady Sheridan and Baron Zaggry. As I mentioned before, their love story was my very first erotic romance accepted for publication in 2007. Sher and Zag live in another dimension -- a world known as a Blue Realm.

"Open the door to Blue Paradise ~ an aristocratic world of fiercest passion where every erotic dream comes true."
~~~~~~ 

All Shades of Blue Paradise

 
Seven paragraphs from the first chapter ~ 

 
Sheridan didn’t blame the women who wanted him, not just for his status or his wealth but for the primal and the aristocratic blend he was as a man, as a lover, the way he made a woman feel.

Pure sensual desire. Pure sensual need. Pure ferocious passion for him.

She waited, knowing that was his cougar-and-prey game with her. She waited, her gaze fondling the burnished waves of his dark mahogany hair, streaked with wild sunlight.

"Sheridan."

The rough grazing purr of his voice made her shiver inside. She met his gaze boldly. Never flee before a cougar. Always stand your ground, even if faced with the most gorgeous eyes she’d ever seen.

Pale emerald, so ice crystalline, his eyes were always startling, always stunning.

"Baron Vettura," she returned, her tone icy cordiality. Sheridan knew her eyes glowed hot. She felt it. She shook back her hair. "It has been a while."
