Ye Olde Randome Stuffe


I’m going in a bunch of directions today, because none of the stuff I’m reporting on can make a full blog on its own. Together, though, they should make up an entry long enough that you’ll figure you’re getting your money’s worth. Wait a minute, this is free. Yeah well.

# # #

Freedom of speech was fun while it lasted. The other day I tried to get onto my publisher’s website and discovered the library system’s onerous content filter is back in operation. Once again the system is determined to protect my innocent eyes from lascivious content, including the smutty books I myself wrote. I didn’t check, but I’m pretty sure the filter still allows people onto the site that shows you how to make pipe bombs. So sex is verboten but acts of terrorism are fine. Glad to see Lancaster County’s priorities are firmly in order.

This couldn’t come at a worse time, because—drum roll—I sold that book I was working on! It’s the smuttiest of smut, with a dominant woman who buys a pair of slaves for, um, personal entertainment. You know, juggling and card tricks and stuff. Hey, kids could be reading this. Gotta watch that content filter.

Anyway, I sent it out last Thursday evening and got the acceptance email on Tuesday. Siren’s nice in that regard; they don’t make you wait months and months for a reply. Some publishers don’t respond at all. “If you don’t hear from us, we’re not interested.” Yeah, well, you won’t be hearing from me again, because I’m not interested in you. I can publish books on my own now. Or I’ll be able to once I learn how. I think I’ll write straight-up porn and self-publish on Amazon, which skates right by the library’s content filter and has all sorts of nasty stuff right out there in the open for everyone to see. So there.

I wish I knew why descriptions of adult fictional characters enjoying themselves get so many people in a tizzy. And don’t try to tell me, “We must protect the children!” The children aren’t going anywhere near these sites. They’re playing video games that let them blow stuff up and save the world from the zombie apocalypse. You know, practical life skills. You keep your hands to yourselves, you zombie menaces! We’re watching you!

# # #

Having finished a book, I’m now faced with the usual problem of having to start another one. Looks like the winner this time around will be a Talbot’s Peak book, which means self-pubbing because not all the characters or concepts are mine. I was able to bypass that with Jessalina’s Pets because even though the initial post appeared on Shapeshifter Seductions, it’s not set in our fictional town and doesn’t use any characters created by anyone else. Ditto for one of the M/Ms I’ve got on the back burner. I transported the main characters to Philadelphia and created a whole new background and supporting cast. I can’t do that with this one. Better familiarize myself with formatting.

I’m not that concerned with the text of the book. It’s the cover that’s got me worried. In spite of working in the typesetting industry off and on for several years, I don’t know the first thing about fonts and typography and Photoshop and creating a cover. I’ll probably have to pay somebody to do that. This is why I’m still subbing to regular publishers. I’m just here to write the book. Let someone else worry about all the technical crap. That’s what they’re gobbling down half the royalties for. Dammit, I knew I should have taken art classes when I was in school.

I wonder if I have Photoshop on the laptop? I’ve got a ton of programs just sitting on the hard drive that I never even look at because I bought this for Internet and email and to serve as a typewriter. I could probably be a publisher if I knew how to work this stuff. Maybe I can teach myself. That’s what the library’s for. It isn’t for researching erotica publishers any more, that’s for damn sure.

# # #

Let’s start the learning curve by attempting to make a link. If I did this right, you should be able to reach the blog post that became Jessalina’s Pets by clicking here. If I didn’t, it’s at October 9, 2013. I’m going to miss paper when it finally goes out of fashion, even though typing on a computer is so much faster and easier. And nobody cares if you make mistakes because you can correct it on screen. I guess that guy from the Monkeys, whose mother invented Wite-Out, doesn’t get royalties any more. Them’s the breaks, fella. Time marches on.

# # #

I put food out for Stray Kitty this morning and he let it sit again. A neighbor told me he doesn’t like fish, and this had tuna in it. Talk about picky. I hope he likes the taste of no food. I’m sure somebody else will slip him something, or else he’ll catch a bird or a squirrel. We know he’s not fishing in the creek. And I’ve reached a decent word count, so we’ll wrap on this finicky note. See you next week!

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ June 9, 2014

Pic ~ Avenging Angel by Prasa

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #301 


Theme: Superstorm after superstorm, the weather, world events, and life itself.

On the land changes front, major sunstorms or CMEs [coronal mass ejections] are likely within the next couple of months. Stay alert.

Also, this prior forecast continues: "the devastation from superstorm weather events increases at this point in time. Worldwide: more massive flooding, more raging firestorms, miles long mudslides, disappearing coastlines, erupting volcanoes, ever larger earthquakes -- especially swarms.

Plus, there will likely be more large-scale evacuations across the planet as the year progresses."

As well, the major land rise begins. This will take place across the planet, and over the next several years will be noticeable in the Gulf of Mexico. This means, unless the dark-side controllers destroy the ancient civilization now covered by water, the evidence will become obvious to ALL.

This week, look for more unusual weather systems worldwide, especially over the oceans.

On the AWAKENING front, as world events cascade and collide, this will serve the people worldwide as a GIANT, FAST-ACTING AWAKENING. Now, those who have been born on Earth to protect Mother earth, to protect and encourage the human spirit, are being spiritually activated as never before.

This means, in part, more of the people rear up and race forward as activists. *Eventually* through their human force and diligent work, they will trample the enemies of planet Earth.

On the magickal, mystical front, a vitally important week ahead as the 'Mages of Ages Lost' remove the black-sorcery curtain from one section of the Beast Construct -- as designed by the Viper-elite puppet masters. With mighty lightblades, the Mages sweep aside this frequency shroud more each week, revealing the true nature of our precious world.

Simultaneously, the Music-Media Industrial Complex will be intro-ing a new sound as the next pop sensation. This dark-soul vibe is designed to further zombify the younger generation, as well as cause a state of mass confusion in the older generation. It's all about compliance at this point.

On the personal front, a wild week ahead for some of us, and it may be like herding cats. This will be due to expected and unexpected CHANGES. Roll with the punches, unless you truly need to punch back, then you must take action for the sake of yourself and everyone involved.

Also, this is a time of extreme challenge that will require certain key decisions to be made. For now, it's all about creating 'your' future, and 'the' future of our world.

This week, there 'could' be a sabotage incident. Watch your backsides.

On the paranormal front, another large week, where high strangeness is in charge. As the Media Industrial Complex continues to orchestrate 'cultural reality', thus, the real truth about paranormal/supernatural will continue to be heavily censored.

This, as tidal of waves of proof inundate society as a whole. Less and less, will the people buy into this sinister orchestration against the paranormal. For, the worlds of the shaman and mystic are destined to become everyone's reality.

On the economic front, big, spiralling-out-of-control doings in the worldwide financial realm. Behind the nefarious scenes, the battle between the power-broker factions increases. This, while they attempt to prop up their economic empire until a one-world, cashless system can be established.

Also, the too-big-to-fail banks are angling for what they call 'negative interest rates'... meaning you'll have to pay fees to deposit your money with them, even as they use the money to gamble in the stock market. Out of this giant unconscionable scam against the people, will rise an evolution-revolution of epic proportions.

This 'rising' will ultimately create dynastic territories. Or, people of like mind taking over the land and creating communities were ALL can thrive. And, so it begins.

On the truth front, snuffing out the expression of TRUTH and SPIRIT, this goal of the new world order criminals escalates as they attempt to seize the internet completely. However, a huge hacker war is ongoing as freedom fighters dismantle the enslaving-tech back doors.

Further, this week the golden sheen of DIVINE TRUTH intensifies. In opposition to the dark souls, this LIGHT brings a cohesion of mind, heart, and soul among the lightworkers. For, it is time to spiritually wing higher, to become a force that cannot be defeated.

On the war front, another chessboard, move-countermove week ahead. The Russian Bear will make several subtle moves. Meanwhile, the drumbeat-push for war and more war only gets louder -- courtesy of presstitute media.

Likely, there will be an upcoming incident which will be used as an excuse to invade yet another country and/or another region. However, just as likely a campaign will be mounted against this invasion. How this plays out ultimately is up for grabs at this point in time.

As well, the civil war happening behind the scenes will show up as more mass firings of key military officers and/or the personnel of military contractors. Also, whistleblowers will reveal more heinous scandals in an attempt to win control of the shadow government.

On the tyranny-at-work front, as incidents of police/SWAT team brutality and killing the innocent only increases, there will be a severe backlash from the certain segments of the public. Likely, in the near future there will be a flashpoint situation. [Note: written before the Las Vegas killings.]

For, the people are becoming fed up in the extreme and will refuse to tolerate one more such jackboot attack.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "DEESCALATING THE POLICE: Americans face a new crisis; police violence against citizens is escalating, blurring the line between criminal and public servant."

On the communication front, this trend skyrockets, as stated in the prior forecast: "a complex week of transition between Piscean-age dialogue and the Aquarian-age language of cooperation. In part, this will look like communities, small cities, and towns forging ahead with laws that suit the needs of the people. Two current examples are no GMO crops or fracking allowed.

Eventually, this type of local control will become a quiet and noisy revolution-evolution across the country, across the world. For, humanity is ready to take charge of their individual lives. The message to the dark-side elite: rule by governance is no longer needed or wanted."

On the home front, 'division' is the key term at this point in history. First, those who are ascending into the Aquarian Age versus those who cling to 'what was' and will never be again.

Second, from a past forecast: "chaos, corruption, crime will be utilized by the dark-side controllers to further divide and conquer Americans. One of their psychopathic, long-term goals is to eliminate the middle class entirely. Another primary goal is to drive the people off the land into big cities and work camps.

However, as the liberty culture rises, and the renegades resist... as the people swarm onto the land and live off the grid, this will 'eventually' become impossible, overall. The battle looms ahead."

Third, from a previous forecast: "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 food front, the race is on between those who are determined to save heirloom seeds and the GM/GMO mega-corporations that are determined to rule the world with their terminator seeds and frankenfoods. Ultimately, the choice boils down to where the people choose spend their time, energy, and money.
Buy heirloom seeds and produce as much as possible. Or, keep the mega-corps in business.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "76% of Seed Market is Patented by Corporations: Save the Seeds!~ Elizabeth Renter | Over 90% of the crop varieties grown a century ago are no longer used in this country."

On the energy front, an interesting time ahead as underdog manufactures of new, innovative energy systems duke it out with the big-boy oil cartel. Meanwhile, the under-market continues to develop with people sharing plans for producing energy off grid, and also trading-bartering what they've either invented or built.

On the really bad news front, accelerating their slash and burn war against the planet and humanity, the Viper elite rapaciously attack Mother Earth with their various terrible technologies. One example: fracking.

Another example: the weather wars, and manipulating the climate. HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Parched: A New Dust Bowl Forms in the Heartland ~ "Exceptional drought" makes for tough times in Oklahoma." ~accuweather.com~

On the good news front, the Great Music Revolution is upon us. That is, from grassroots artists comes the sounds, vibes, the tones and words that will usher humankind into the heart-centered Aquarian Age. This eclectic, innovative music from the deepest recesses of the soul, and the heart, will prepare ALL of us for a whole new way of living, loving, and being.

On the global mafia cabal front, ferocious conflict, backstabbing, and boomerang karma as the dark-side controllers reap their horrific rewards. However, as stated before, this only makes them more dangerously berserk.

This week, behind the scenes, it's all about the battle for gold -- collecting and hoarding great piles. The Viper-elite factions metaphorically and literally hack themselves up for who will be the global kings of the golden mountainous pile.

On the heroine and hero front, all those who are heroically surviving these times, and helping others.

On the freedom front, the psy-ops against freedom and the lovers of freedom goes into brutal overdrive as the dark-side controllers seek to stamp out what they consider to be a rampant infection of the mind -- and a threat to their very existence.

Meanwhile, more and more of the people powerfully rear up against tyranny and stampede toward freedom. With fierce purpose and intent, they prepare to take their stand, all while spreading these symbolic words far and wide: "the British are coming".

Trendwise, now great cracks in society form like a series of Grand Canyons. Prepare for this time of societal rending, this time of implosion-explosion as the dark-side global elite make their endgame moves against humankind.

As well, this is the time to bond more deeply with your loved ones, stay together within a community of like minded people, and become tribal in a beneficent way to ALL. That is, whenever possible. 

On a further note, the glitter-trash culture that is Hollywood or Hollow-wood, now goes completely "Darth Vader". Watch the fall from any and all Grace.

THIS WEEK, hug a tree, smell a flower, be with your pets. That is how to center your soul and spirit.

Loose Ends


As of this writing, I’m just about done with the final read through of my latest book. Some time later today I’ll be sending it off to market. Will it sell? Will it bounce? Will I tear out the rest of my hair while I’m waiting? Watch this space.

You’d think by now I’d be used to waiting. I submitted a book to Harper Voyager’s last open call, back in October 2012. A little over a year later I got the rejection letter. Some poor folks are still waiting for word. For their sakes, I hope the word’s good. I sent the same book to another SF publisher’s open call in December 2013. So far the wait on that one is six months and counting. Welcome to the life of a writer.

I’m beginning to see the appeal of self-publishing. You write your book, polish it up, get yourself some cover art, upload it and you’re good to go. If you want to publish another book the next day, you can. Yes, you have to deal with the editing and covers and promo and all the other stuff publishers do, but for some folks cutting out the wait time is worth it. Higher royalty percentages and monthly royalty payments only sweeten the pot.

I may be dealing with this shortly. With one book off to market, I need to go to work on something else. One of those somethings is a Shapeshifter Seductions novel that I’ll have to self-publish, for a number of legal and moral reasons I detailed in a previous blog. If and when I finish the thing, I’ll be sure to detail the journey here. Forget sales. I need ideas for blog posts.

This is what most writers do while we’re waiting to hear back from publishers: we write another book. Or watch TV. I get a lot of inspiration from TV, so I can call it research. Wonder if I can deduct that on my taxes?

# # #

For those of you worried about Stray Kitty, stop. He’s slimmed down a bit since I stopped putting the bowls out, but his pickiness hasn’t changed. The other day he showed up at the door so I gave him a can of food. Fifteen minutes later I went out to get the dish. The food was still there. So was Stray Kitty. He sat there and waited for another ten minutes until I finally got rid of the offending food and gave him another can. He ate that one. The next day he didn’t show up at all. I guess he found better food elsewhere.

Keep in mind Stray Kitty lives on the street and has no food bowl to go home to. No home, for that matter. This is an animal I’ve observed eating dead cicadas. And he expects me to cater to his taste buds? I’ve come to the conclusion he was some poor woman’s lazy mooch of a boyfriend in a previous life. Karma finally put him in the proper body. Cats have it great, even strays.

# # #

Just remembered another drawback to traditional publishing: the dreaded query letter. I usually lead off with what amounts to a blurb, to catch the editor’s interest. I’m sure you’ve read those blurbs on the backs of books; they help you decide whether or not to plunk down your money for it. Ever try writing one? It’s a stone bitch. Try boiling down a 1000-page novel into a single paragraph. Or a single sentence. Not that it can’t be done, and done well; Snakes on a Plane is pretty self-explanatory. But this is your story, your people and plot, and now you have to distill all those writing hours and all that blood and sweat on the page down to the attention-catching highlights. It’s a whole other mindset from fiction and a tough one to master. Some e-publishers want you to write your own back cover copy. Sales could depend on how well you do this. Can’t we just write the damn book and be done with it?

Ditto for the synopsis. Let’s see you scrunch your startling plot twists and brilliant characterization into a 300-word overview. What do you put in to make it sound exciting, and sellable? How much should be left out? Doing a synopsis for a romance might be a little easier. You don’t have to mention all the sex scenes. The genre makes those a given. Just synopsize the rest of the plot and you’ll be fine.

I’ll bet writing synopses for porn is incredibly easy. “Jill meets Marcus at a party. They go back to his place and have sex for 5000 words. Then Marcus’s roommate Ramon shows up and they break out the handcuffs.” Hey, I think I’ve got my next story. Self-publishing, here I come!

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ June 2, 2014

 Art from ~fairiesworld.com~


Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #300 


Midyear themes: A Revolution of AWAKENING... and Mind-blowing, mind-numbing TRUTHS revealed...
On the AWAKENING front, the people are becoming unbridled, and running free. For, the power of the people to say NO, to reject laws, rules, regulations, codes, policies, etc. from on government-high, now superstorms across the planet.

Worldwide, at an accelerating pace, the idea of NOT AGREEING with top-down control will become the savior of the human spirit. For, any manner of rule only works by tacit agreement of the people.

On the truth front, with the Divine spotlight relentlessly exposing TRUTH after TRUTH at this point in time, the great split in humanity is at hand. The choice: follow the crazed lemmings off the cliff to your own destruction. Or race free and fast, and gallop toward your highest destiny.

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' use their light-blazing magick to open the eyes of the people to their own inner and infinite power. The truth of who humankind is has been so dark-magick and diabolically concealed over the past centuries that most of us don't own a conscious clue about our true capabilities.

And that is the Viper cabal's most prized secret. For, these dark-side magicians want only helpless, instinct-controlled lemmings that will obey their every command, their every wish and will.

On the personal front, an unusual week ahead for most of us. Also, the next several weeks will likely have oddities you've never encountered before. The opportunity is simply to observe, to gather more information, then look at how this could affect you and your loved ones in the future.

At the same time, odd-duck opportunities are likely to come your way, as has been stated before. Look both ways, and look before you leap. That is your best protection.

LOVE continues to lead the way in the realm of relationships, all relationships, and will be far stronger than ever before. For, the heart of humanity continues to cosmically open -- continues to bloom like the most beautiful rose.

Also, for some, during the second half of 2014, cupid's arrow will fly on supersonic wings. For, higher-soul matches are being made.

On the paranormal front, a high-strangeness week happens in the skies.  Also, within the next month, look for at least one major UFO event that the presstitute media won't be able to ignore -- not completely.

At this time, crypto hunters are ascending in the consciousness of humankind. Stories -- the weird encounters with cryptids never before revealed because of the ridicule factor -- will begin to pour forth. Further, Nessie, the loch ness monster, 'could' surface once again.

On the land changes front, from the prior week: "the devastation from superstorm weather events increases at this point in time. Worldwide: more massive flooding, more raging firestorms, miles long mudslides, disappearing coastlines, erupting volcanoes, ever larger earthquakes -- especially swarms.

Plus, there will likely be more large-scale evacuations across the planet as the year progresses. The continent of Africa 'could' top the list.

Also, there is a 'possibility' that there will be a destructive meteor strike within two months time. Divine intervention needed."

This week, there 'could' be several, unusual fierce weather events

On the economic front, rage against the bankster gangsters, and the monopoly-capitalist crowd, gallops at full speed now.  As the year progresses, innovative schemes will be devised that keep the under-economy going. This, despite the tyrannical crackdown against using cash.

Also, as the banks demand biometric identification, there will be mass resistance. Some of this will translate into more off-the-grid trade/barter clubs and 'could' bring about bank runs as the people remove their money.

On the worldwide front, the global robber-baron class will underestimate their power over the people. Thus, bringing about a calamitous situation that threatens their very existence. Regardless of how this plays out, these Viper elites will make mistake after mistake, and continue shooting themselves in their expensively shod feet.

Because of this, the 'financial powers that be' will panic to some degree, and haul back on the reins. This will not stop the race toward economic freedom that is now spreading across the world.

Also, look for more wall-street shenanigans to be revealed. Revulsion and disgust will be the reaction of many, and action follows.

On the war front, the invasion of Africa by the 'empire' ramps up and sweeps from country to country. Any false-flag excuse will do.

At this point in history, the tide begins turning against the leviathan multi-national corporations and their brutal march across the world. For, this is a new Aquarian-age world, and they will not be invited.

Also, as always keep an eagle eye on the banks, on your accounts. For, the cyber hacking wars are just getting started.

On the tyranny-at-work front, this week, on the pretext of protecting the people, the administration will tighten the hanging rope of tyranny. This, while continuing to flush their own minions down the proverbial toilet bowl.

Likely there will be a major event within the next two weeks that shakes those at the top of the gov pyramid -- to their very cores. For, the people are rising against them. And will not be stopped.

On the communication front, a complex week of transition between Piscean-age dialogue and the Aquarian-age language of cooperation. In part, this will look like communities, small cities, and towns forging ahead with laws that suit the needs of the people. Two current examples are no GMO crops or fracking allowed.

Eventually, this type of local control will become a quiet and noisy revolution-evolution across the country, across the world. For, humanity is ready to take charge of their individual lives. The message to the dark-side elite: rule by governance is no longer needed or wanted.

On the home front, a discombobulated and crazed week ahead as the CIRCUS CIRCUS entertainments reach a new level of sheer ridiculousness and absolute childishness. Or, look over here as we take this cute 'Jessica' rabbit out of the hat, all while building the storm-trooper police state around you.

On the food front, skyrocketing prices hit simultaneous with poorer overall quality. A much larger underclass develops of those who can't afford to keep themselves and their families fed.

This will lead to more acts of desperation, as well as out-of-the-box ways to help those in need. This, despite making homelessness a crime, and making those who dare to care -- by feeding the hungry -- into criminals.

HEADLINE: "U.S. FOOD INFLATION RUNNING AT 22%"

On the energy front, the influx of powerful cosmic energies continues, then increases toward the end of the month. This means igniting the heart of humankind to a greater flame and fierceness.

In opposition, the dark-side controllers ignite race wars and religious wars with propaganda and frequency manipulation. Their social-engineering attack on families goes nefariously nova. And the biggest push will be fueling the division between women and men, between lovers regardless of gender. For, this love bonding is the foundation of a thriving good society.

The dark-side's message: everybody is your enemy, except the emerging super state.

On the really bad news front, the hidden pandemic happening in hospitals because of superbug infections will reach a tipping point within the next few months. This will AWAKEN many to the reality that the Medical Industrial Complex is the enemy rather than a savior of health and healing.

Further, on orders from the Viper global elite, the mad scientists working behind the scenes are loosing virus after lab-engineered virus to change humanity's DNA programming, and to cause a future avalanching genocide.

The more you know and learn about natural healing therapies the better for ALL.

On the good news front, 'super enlightenment' becomes a force to be reckoned with at this moment on the cosmic clock. For, this super-powered 'knowing' is what the dark-side controllers fear most about humankind's true abilities.

Even though, zombie-ism of the public grows ever larger, now a state of SUPER AWARENESS takes hold of those who are ready. This unstoppable AWARENESS tsunamis around the planet. Thus, the voice of the people reaches beyond the mind-control dogma that has plagued the human race for centuries.

On the global mafia cabal front, both fusion and factional infighting, the Viper elite are brutally battling each other while agreeing to sink the worldwide economy into a morass of chaos, hunger, and absolute desperation.

Further, at this time, their bankster gangster banking system is in such a disastrous mess that their will be giant upheavals. Also, there will be more disappearances and deaths of their financial minions. These people know where the bodies are buried, so to speak -- and/or are leaking sensitive information.

On the heroine and hero front, all those who are creating trade/barter economies in their communities, and are helping each other as needed.

On the freedom front, from a previous forecast: "...at this time, embracing freedom becomes ever more popular. And, as stated before: the rattlesnake of liberty coils and rises with the warning: DON'T TREAD ON ME!"

The looming civil war, the battle to stay on the land -- while in the background for the moment -- is about to boil over. For, the people have had enough, and are saying NO MORE. Watch for the upcoming fireworks.

Trendwise, the paranormal is now the new normal, and is leaping-stomping forward like Godzilla on nuke-bomb steroids. This is occurring throughout society, throughout the world... despite the massive oppression/suppression of truth when it comes to sevreal facets of the supernatural world.

Also, in the long scheme of things, the empire that is religion, falls flat on its face when faced with the true spirituality of the people. This 'fall from fake grace' is initiated this week by a specific event that will be under reported.

THIS WEEK smell the flowers, the beautiful blooms around you. Watch others bloom around you, and observe how you are blooming into a new sense of LIFE.

My Sexy Saturday ~ White Fang and Pasha, the seduction



Sexy Saturday kisses, everyone.

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

White Fang, the super wolf hero, and Pasha, his cat goddess heroine, have made a deal that suits both their needs. Purr-fectly, of course. Now their desire is flaming out of control.
 
This is Pasha's POV.
~~~~~~

Seven paragraphs from White Fang, Ace Wolf Reporter ~ the chapter title: Take me to your loins

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

Her cat yowled savoring the extreme pleasure as White Fang straightened and drank in the sight of her. The vibrations of his gaze pummeled the swells of her breasts, delicious raw sensations that swirled over her clit and wickedly teased her toes.

When White Fang stroked down her arms, then manacled her wrists, Pasha shivered inside. Predictably, her cat purred with fierce delight at his masculine power.

Let him be the victor in this first round of passion between them.

His wolfish kisses fell like a rainstorm on the parched need of her skin, swelling her breasts. Her nipples pushed against the confines of her gown, an ache of bliss all its own.

White Fang's savage need dizzied Pasha, and his canine growl at being denied the taste of her breasts by the gown between them, sent a wild rush of heat that only a woman could feel. For, the man-wolf desired her beyond else.

"Beast," she softly taunted. "What are you going to do to me now?"

A Minor Crack in the Rules


I’m going to give a writing lesson this week. But first, here’s a censorship update: I finally found a brand-new copy of It at Barnes and Noble. The offensive word still exists throughout the text, just as it does in modern copies of Huckleberry Finn. So that answers that.

The follow-up question still remains: If a newbie writer submitted a book with such liberal use of That Word, would it be accepted and printed as is, or would political correctness necessitate a thorough editorial scrubbing? There’s no way to tell without writing such a book and sending it around to agents and editors and see what kinds of comments you get. Would they even give that as a reason for rejection? I’ll bet they’d cite something else. It’s like job interviews. They’ll say you’re over- or underqualified or lack a specific skill they need or don’t have enough experience, when the truth is the job went to the son of some friend of the owner’s or that girl who looks hot in a skirt. Nobody’s ever going to tell you you’re wrong, just in case the reason why can be used to file a lawsuit. You just weren’t as right as the other person. Congratulations! We finally live in a world where everybody’s perfect!

I wonder what writers of historicals do? Especially those trying to write Civil War era fiction. Set the story up North? That would be the easiest solution. Or they could follow Disney’s Tarzan example and simply not show a large segment of people who would have been living there historically. I’m all in favor of equality, diversity and inclusion—I thought Thor did an excellent job in subtly adding Asian and black gods to the Norse pantheon—but c’mon. Sometimes the contortions we’re forced to go through in order to avoid offensiveness get out of hand.

We make our living with words. Some of those words can be hurtful. Like “bitch” and “slut” and “cunt.” Those words are still acceptable. But that’s a different blog.

I’m currently typing up a book I hope to send to a publisher, probably next week. It’s a ménage—one woman, two hot guys—and falls under the romance umbrella. Like all genres, romance comes with its own set of rules. I’m still in the second-guessing stage of the writing process, so now I’m wondering if I may have violated one of them.

In this case, the rule in question is, “Woman meets her perfect mate as soon as possible.” Chapter One is good. First page is better. First paragraph of first page is trickier to pull off, but can and has been done. My female main character doesn’t meet her men until Chapter Two. Chapter One is the setup; a minor character makes a remark that sets the plot in motion. So she meets the guys late for a romance, but it’s not necessarily fatal. And she meets two of them. That might make up for the late start.

Here’s the problem: Another male appears in Chapter One. My FMC doesn’t like him. With good reason: he turns out to be the villain of the story. But there he is, on page 2 already, and there she is, tossing insults at him. That’s also a standard romance trope. Some readers are likely to read this exchange, note his early intro and assume, “This is the one, this is the hero, this is the man of her dreams.” Uh, no. But try telling readers that once they’ve formed expectations. When she meets the real heroes in Chapter Two, a lot of folks are liable to feel betrayed. What’s a writer to do?

I could rewrite the entire beginning. Nah. Too much trouble too late in the game. I could change Chapter One to “Prologue.” Then Chapter Two becomes Chapter One. Any man you meet in the Prologue may or may not be important to the story. I can make my bad guy appear even slimier. Then people who assumed he was Da One will feel relieved when they meet the other two. I may have already helped things along by titling the book Jessalina’s Pets. That “s” on the end implies she gets more than one, so even those who invested in Chapter One Guy should be willing to switch allegiance after Chapter Two. Ditto for the cover. When/if I get one, it’ll show two men whose descriptions don’t match COG’s. That should also work in my favor. I hope so.

To top it off, one of the men she buys at the slave market has brown skin. Weren’t we talking about offensiveness in the first part of this blog? That’s easily fixed. I can just call him “tanned.” We’ll see what the publisher says.

I think I can skate by in the other case too. I need to intro the bad guy early so he doesn’t pop up out of nowhere later on. Readers would be even less forgiving of that than they would of a perceived bait and switch. I’d better make sure to emphasize she really detests this guy while she’s instantly attracted to the other two. That’ll make it go down more easily.

Dammit, this conforming to expectations is hard. Why did I want to be a writer again? Oh yeah, because it beats working. Back to the keyboard.

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ May 26, 2014

Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano 

Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...

Angelic Forecast ~ #299 


Theme: Now Comes the Healing of the Human Soul

However, prepare yourself. For, the world flies apart even more -- giant spinning blades slicing through society.

Also, be prepared for extreme madness and mayhem as well as profound and perfect miracles. All while the chaos accelerates and the Aquarian Age renaissance blooms like a field of lovely wildflowers.

On the land changes front, the devastation from superstorm weather events increases at this point in time. Worldwide: more massive flooding, more raging firestorms, miles long mudslides, disappearing coastlines, erupting volcanoes, ever larger earthquakes -- especially swarms.

Plus, there will likely be more large-scale evacuations across the planet as the year progresses. The continent of Africa 'could' top the list.

Also, there is a 'possibility' that there will be a destructive meteor strike within two months time. Divine intervention needed.

On the magickal, mystical front, this week the 'Mages of Ages Lost' fire blasts of powerful magick, blowing away the heavy curtains of deceit, as conjured by the Viper magicians. Now reality, as humanity has never known -- never experienced -- will be revealed one Divine step at a time.

As well, like Dorothy discovered in the Wizard of Oz, the true manipulators behind the scenes, will be relentlessly exposed on the big movie screen of Life for ALL to see, and know. For, their day to seize and rule the planet is over.

On the personal front, tough days ahead for many of us as the economy continues its nosedive into oblivion. However, if you can think out of the proverbial box, favorable opportunities to overcome will come your way.

This week, the love vibe heightens, and there will be more major opportunities to improve your relationships with those you care most about. Also, be on the lookout for those who are trustworthy. Then reach out to these allies, and make contact with potential friends in your community.

As well, the stars are smiling on romantic and passionate love. Now is the time for many of us.

On the paranormal front, a blockbuster week for all things paranormal-supernatural in the entertainment realm, and for real. On top of this, now the major propaganda push for 'ancient aliens' as humankind's ancestor-designers begins.

The off-world progenitors of humanity on Earth  is a complex and challenging story and picture. However, the *real* truth about our long lost past will be Machiavellian-obscured by the 'dark-side powers that be'.

For, they would have us bow down before the alien gods, and become nothing but slaves and sacrifice victims. Envision the horrific blood sacrifices of the ancient Aztecs -- that is their ultimate goal.

On the truth front, THE TRUTH VIBRATION that has been rainstorm-pouring in from the sacred cosmos now goes into super-drive. In part, this means *everything you wanted to know but didn't know you wanted to know* will surface.

Remember: from the prior forecast: "For, TRUTH is our savior, if we the people will only see it, acknowledge the revelations, then REAR UP, AND SEIZE THE DAY."

On the AWAKENING front, more and more of us will fly with the mighty and good angels amongst us. That is, our higher natures emerge and we see past the DOGMA we, as humanity, have been indoctrinated with for age upon age. For, that time of FALSE GODS is over, as has been stated repeatedly in these forecasts.

However, this evolution-revolution AWAKENING cannot be emphasized enough because it will take extreme courage to face the sheer depth of the ongoing, false-god deception.

On the economic front, slip-sliding away, any disposable income, that is. From this time forward, the jackboot authorities will be attacking Americans for any kind of so-called financial infraction. More debtor prisons will be established. Also, fines, fees, taxes now leap toward infinity.

Meanwhile, the people have had enough. Ever faster: 'don't buy, don't comply' wildfire-sweeps across the country. From last week's forecast: "Out of this, both a quiet and a noisy revolt firestorms across the country. Some will simply not comply, shunning the system. While others will take their voice to the streets, to the internet, and demand reform and/or the elimination of the IRS and the Federal Reserve."

This week, the worldwide economic war against the people takes many diabolical turns. Keep an eye out for the huge shenanigans that will happen on the world stage, and are meant to form a permanent serf class.

On the war front, a dangerous period of time ahead. The Viper elite are psychopathically determined to escalate civil-war conflicts across the globe, and increase the theaters of war. However, currently they are being checkmated by White Hat forces.

This week, the war against humanity threatens the very essence of what it means to be truly alive and human. *Divide and conquer* at every level of society is the weapon. That is, religion against religion, country against country, color against color, class against class, brother against brother, children against parents, man against woman.

On the tyranny-at-work front, as the year progresses the major cities, and certain key areas, will be placed -- degree by degree -- into semi-lockdown. Any and every excuse will be used to justify the brute fist of martial law without calling it martial law.

Checkpoints are likely to spring up overnight like poisonous mushrooms. TSA units and paramilitary police will suddenly take over entire towns and cities. At a certain point, people will begin to flee this dehumanizing oppression in droves.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Police use cellphone spying device
A stingray is a device that mimics a cell tower and thereby tricks all wireless devices on the same network into communicating with it." — Associated Press

On the communication front, slowly, the mystical becomes reality as humankind becomes fully aware of their sacred connection with each other...aware, and able to communicate in more profound ways.  As well, instead of using words to communicate mind-to-mind, speaking will often be replaced by movie-like scenes.

Further, those who are kindred spirits will lead the way in this telepathy, and provide the environment for acceptance. After all, love is the great connector.

On the home front, the mindless drivel of popular entertainment is the order of the day. That, and CIRCUS CIRCUS terrible events designed to herd the people into predetermined corrals -- where their ability to protect themselves and each other, is removed -- controlled by those in the system who built the corrals -- by those who rope and enslave them to their evil will.

This week, the rebellion against establishment authority takes a giant leap forward. Fewer and fewer are fooled by the staged deception that would deny them the right to bear arms.

On the food front, the truth about GM/GMO frankenfoods tsunamis worldwide, and the battle is on to save every good and natural food source. Meanwhile, Monsanto, Dupont, etc. spread their ill-gotten gains like predator-offered candy to lure, buy off, and intimidate the growing opposition.

For, the battle is on across the globe, and it won't be pretty. Especially at the endpoint.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Russian Activists to Conduct Independent Studies Proving GMOs Could be Genetic Weapon Natural Society - A draft bill is on the table in Russia that would criminalize GMO production and distribution. Now, anti-GMO activists there are looking to create a team of 'long-overdue' independent and international researchers that can finally prove unequivocally that GMOs are poison tools created by Monsanto and the corporate, biotech machine."

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Russia Wants to Impose Criminal Liability for GMO-Related Activities ~ Natural Society - A Russian newspaper, Izvestia, writes that criminal liability will be imposed on any act that involves producing, selling, or transporting genetically modified organisms, if Russian lawmakers get their way."

On the energy front, as unemployment rises, and many have no hope of finding a job, this will lead to small-time energy-product breakthroughs, or unique and practical inventions that produce power in a variety of ways and situations.

Likely these WILL NOT be mass-marketed, but spread by word of mouth, from community to community. And through information found/debated on the internet. Scams will abound, of course, but so will real working plans and devices.

On the really bad news front, the stench of corruption is so foul, it permeates every molecule on Earth, and blankets the people, the land, like an impenetrable shroud. For, those in positions of power are sinister-rotten to the core, courtesy of the dark-side controllers.

This establishment stench AWAKENS more of the people, who want to clear out the evil garbage. Yet, there will be those who simply accustom themselves to the accumulating foul odors, and go along with the tyranny-matrix.

Further, if you are homeless, beware and take care. Many of you are being rounded up and disappeared at this time. Do your best to form independent support networks for each other, take over abandoned properties, and DO NOT trust anything that sounds too good to be true.

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Homeless tent city in Camden, N.J. get bulldozed
CNN News - One of the most recent evictions took place in Camden, N.J., this week, when the state, county and city joined forces to shut down multiple tent cities and kick out the residents. While the county worked with the occupants to find them somewhere to go, Camden's shelters were already full and many people ended up on the streets." 

HEADLINE-SNIPPET: "Cities All Over America Are Becoming Extremely Cruel To The Homeless ~ Economic Collapse - We are treating some of the most vulnerable members of our society like human garbage, and it is a national disgrace." 

On the good news front, many more of us soar like eagles, our hearts speak loudly, and we champion all manner of goodness and GOOD CAUSES. All for the sake of ourselves, our loved ones, humanity, and Mother Earth.

On the global mafia cabal front, dissension rises in the mafia cabal ranks like a pod of hungry leviathans. More minions disappear and die right and left. All while the 'acceptable' rank and file continue escaping into underground cities, and onto private islands.

Meanwhile, the cunning-corrupt technocrat class is forced onto the people to continue raping, pillaging, and plundering whatever wealth remains. For, the Viper cabal believe this will bring forth another dark-age of serfdom.

On the heroine and hero front, all THE BRAVE ONES past, present, future who bring forth the true freedom of mind, body, heart, soul and spirit -- who battle for freedom no matter the odds.

On the freedom front, many more of the people declare their freedom from the bankster gangsters, from their predator banks -- and the debt slavery system that has been forced on Americans for a century.

Now begins the all-out war against the U.N. Agenda 21 takeover of America, against the BLM, Bureau of Land Management, and THOSE who diabolically hold and manipulate the reins of power. For, either the people take back their land or lose control over their very lives.

More importantly in this epic battle, the most precious human spirit is at stake.

Trendwise, the explosion of the UFO phenomena. Worldwide, sightings and related events will supercede all else in the coming times.

From Coast to Coast am ~coasttocoastam.com/show/2014/05/25~

"All Things UFO

Date: 05-25-14
Host: George Knapp

Also, at this time, the HEART OF HUMANKIND blooms like a opening rosebud, despite every weaponized, social-engineering trick of the new world order criminals. Thus, the chasm widens dramatically between those of GOOD HEART and those who forsake all kindness and caring.

THIS WEEK, let your heart bloom along with the beautiful blooms of Mother Nature. Listen to the singing of Nature all around you, and tune in singing with your own unique vibes.
