The Reluctant Virgin (Ride 'em Hard, 6)



This title is offered at a 15% discount. Offer ends midnight CST, August 6th.

[Ménage Amour: Erotic Cowboy Ménage a Quatre Romance, M/F/M/M, bondage, spanking, sex toys, HEA]

Cindy Taylor has reinvented herself after a childhood she’d rather forget. It’s seven years later when she’s forced to return to her hometown on business. She’s a new woman with the same deep-seated vulnerabilities thanks to her disability.

Her regular client, Josh Granger, and two men from her past, Matthew Garner and Chance Anderson, are all hell-bent on making her theirs. But Cindy can’t bring herself to reveal her secret, choosing to live a lie instead. She wants nothing more than to experience the sexual fantasies these men promise, but her fear of rejection is just as strong.

Cindy will have to overcome her personal demons if she’s to experience the happily ever after she was certain would pass her by. It’s a race against time because the men won’t wait around forever, and Cindy is the most reluctant virgin.


Angelic Forecast ~ #204



"I have set my soul to bring about their defeat of the soulless ones. Haven't I?" I ask, as the realization strikes inside me like a lightning bolt.

"Yes, it is one of your sacred vows for this lifetime." My lion man rocks me in his embrace. How I love him.

I open my eyes as the soft whisper of intuition causes me to gaze outside of the pyramid. I still completely, astounded. A dragon, a real live dragon flies in the bright blue sky. Writhing and sinuously spiraling, the amber-gold beast appears to be dancing on the air currents.


"Real," I murmur.

"Yes, Borealith returns to Earth. He will be battling the evil loosed at the London Olympics." Dhuroth pauses, and I know he is considering his next words carefully. "Do you wish to see, my woman?"

"How?" I blurt out. Although, I should know by now that my lion man has many ways and many powers.

"The magickal force of the phoenix, my Sh’raka."

I flip my gaze back to Dhuroth, studying him. The amber-gold dragon, Borealith, has nearly disappeared from view.

"Phoenix?" I question, wishing I knew far more about my lion man's world.

"The phoenix energy wraps around Glastonbury Tor, the sacred site stolen by the soulless ones for their dark sorcery." Dhuroth caresses beneath my chin with his fingertips. "However, we will ride the fiery energy spiral to the site of the Olympics."

A sense of adventure seizes me, as well as trepidation. "Let's go."

With a grand lion-like smile, Dhuroth enfolds me against him. All I see is a white-grayish fog, and we whirl in slow motion... somewhere.

The instant we stop, I blink, then look around, my curiosity so fierce I can hardly contain it. We float above what appears to be the main Olympic stadium.

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

Like a tyrant, the Dragon of Confusion rules this week, and part of next week. This is due to many factors, including cosmic-wave influences. Wacky and wacked out events will occur on the world stage and also around you. Ignore what does not demand your immediate attention, what does not demand immediate action.

CONFUSION is the name of evil's game this week, as well. So beware, and as always prepare. This is best accomplished by remaining 'true' to yourself. And by listening to your divine inner voice. Know that the good-side angels will be guiding you through this thick sinister fog.

On the economic front, the fraud-infested economic system takes another big-time tumble downward as 'those' who want to tell the truth come forward. Another fake rally will likely be generated by the dark powers that be, however. And the housing market will likely be propped up on piles of pretend sand.

At this time, there is a raging debate between the bankster gangster factions on how and when to initiate the final death throes of the dollar, and collapse the global economy. Because of this, the casino stock market will likely have wild yo-yo fluctuations for the next three months.

To protect you and your loved ones, purchase every necessity you can manage. Know, too, the GOOD FORCES are intervening as they are able to lessen and change the worst outcomes.

On the truth front, during the coming week, and following month, there will be colossal revelations about the ongoing 'war' against humankind's precious *genetics* by THOSE who despise all of us. The soulless ones believe it no longer matters if you and I know this truth. In fact, THEY are reveling in their horrific acts of cruelty. Because THEY are addicted to watching and 'feeling' others suffer, the more agony the better.

On the war front, the psi ops for massive and continuous chaos spreads worldwide. Dirty tricks via several false flag attacks will be used to get 'the people' of the world in the mood for all out war, both civil wars and World War III. However, the GOOD FORCES are battling back by spreading the LOVE VIBRATION, and by putting major obstacles in the way of the evil ones.

On the AWAKENING front, more of 'the people' will WAKE up to the fact that absolute secrecy for the sake of security creates absolute power, and that this 'power' is being deployed against them by the corp-gov.

As well, SPIRITUAL AWAKENING now soars. Direct contact with the Source Being at ever higher levels is becoming the norm for many.

On the personal front, this week is best enjoyed by taking time to rest and lounge about in your favorite ways. This will give you the opportunity to connect with your soul and spirit. Out of this, new plans on how to improve your life will emerge naturally.

As well, it remains important to organize your household toward stocking up on everything you need. Think in terms of not being able to get to a store for several months.

On the food front, more devastating information about the so-called Franken-foods will be exposed, if you're looking for it. Also, with the slow downward slide of the Big Boy food corporations, there will be greater opportunities for everyone who grows and sells good foods.

While the police state will be used to crush the independent grower and seller, that will not stop humanity in the long scheme of events. Even as land is being stolen, wholesale, from 'the people' all across the country, all across the planet, there are INTREPID SOULS, who will forge ahead despite the dangers. The more these brave ones are supported, the better off the human race will be.

On the paranormal front, the specter of project Blue Beam looms. That is, rumors of a fake space alien invasion are being propagated. While behind the scenes a real sci fi-type of war rages, especially in the northern area of the country, and on other worldwide fronts. It's good versus evil, and the final clash has begun.

On the land changes front, the sun's energies go into hyperdrive, and more devastation occurs around the planet, especially flooding and flash-fires. Everything that has been popularly taught about the universe will now be called into question, and a new science will emerge, one that has been suppressed for the last fifty years.

On the really bad news front, the global purge begins on an enormous scale. At this time, the corp-gov elite will target those in opposition to their new world order agenda, and begin a covert campaign of elimination by any and every means necessary.

Also, there are deadly plans being made to hunt down those courageous souls who are the true whistleblowers, and make them an extinct species.

On the good news front, the moral courage of the human race intensifies. Those of like mind begin standing together to defend and protect each other. The swift rise of Gestapo-like oppression backfires, causing a renewed demand for freedom.

Further, the longtime suppression of free energy devices is coming to an end. There will be many twists and turns, and many who pay with their lives. However, the louder the demand by 'the people' for these devices, the faster they will be available.

Trendwise, the ghost of Rod Serling's words comes back to haunt these times, and further awaken us.

Quoted from the...

The Obsolete Man
Script Written by Rod Serling.


"The Narrator: You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future; not a future that will be, but one that might be. (Camera pans to Narrator)This is not a new world: It is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advancements, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: Logic is an enemy, and truth is a menace."

This is a great week to spend time with a best friend. Hangout, talk and simply enjoy each other's company. At this time, sharing music with others will do wonders for your soul.

Wednesday's Words for July 25, 2012

These words are coming to you from Anaheim, California. Mr. Ashbury and I flew in to LAX on Sunday last, and will fly home again next Sunday.

One thing I can say is that I now fully understand the concept of jetlag. I don’t recall it being so difficult to adjust to Pacific Time when we went to San Francisco in 2008. I’m hoping the difference isn’t due to the fact that I’m four years older than I was then.

Seriously, I went to bed Sunday night at 5:30 pm Pacific time, and slept until 6 am the next morning. I figured that was simply a sign that I had exhausted myself more I’d realized, in the days before we left. But Monday wasn’t much better. I laid down for an hour or so at 7, feeling totally wiped.

Mr. Ashbury pointed out that the reason for my Monday exhaustion was that we had spent a great deal of the day outside. He could be right. Between the time we spent by the pool—him reading and me writing—and the three plus hours we were out and about—him walking and me on the scooter—most of our day was spent in the sun and breeze of this city not far from the ocean. That’s a lot of fresh air and sunshine for someone who sometimes doesn’t go out of doors all day.

Today the real business of the conference gets underway. From 5 to 8 pm there’s a book signing event at the Anaheim Convention Center. All of the proceeds of this sale benefit literacy programs in this area. RWA typically raises thousands of dollars every year to benefit literacy. Local chapters, across the United States and Canada also donate money every year to this worthy cause.

On Thursday, the conference itself gets underway. I’ve chosen a few seminars to attend this year. I do love to learn new things. But I haven’t made a full schedule for myself. I prefer to tread lightly, and of course, I do need my writing time.

Mr. Ashbury and I have explored this area together over the last few days. Although I have rented scooters at previous conventions, the venues didn’t have many attractions close by to encourage me to go out and explore. Here, we’re only a ten minute walk from a couple of very busy tourist areas: Anaheim’s Garden Walk, and Disneyland.

The Garden Walk is definitely aimed at the tourist, with restaurants like Bubba Gump’s, clothing boutiques, and a very large movie theatre. Arranged in a park-like setting, it’s typical of what I love to visit when I’m in “vacation mode”.

Ah, Disneyland. The original. The theme park that changed theme parks forever. No, Morgan didn’t, nor will she, actually go to Disneyland.

We did, however, visit the commercial area right outside the park called “Downtown Disney”. It’s packed with places to eat and lots of stores. They had a Lego Store, and a store where you could build your own bear. There were t-shirts and jewelry, purses and hats, and souvenirs of every style and shape and description.

At home, I’m not much of a shopper, that’s true. But I do love to look when we’re away, especially at all the shiny and sparkly bits of stuff offered at these sorts of places.

Also within easy walking/scootering distance of our hotel were places like I-HOP and a 7/11, a Chinese Food restaurant, a pizza place, and a Subway restaurant. There are plenty of what we used to call “motor inns”, all with pools. This area is definitely geared toward the family. The prices range from the mildly irritating to the truly stunningly painful.

Being frugal sorts we purchased only one bottle of water from the hotel. The rest we got and will continue to get at the 7/11. And we ate breakfast yesterday at the I-HOP.

Mr. Ashbury has to be on his own for a couple of days now as I attend to the business of writing and being a member of the Romance Writers of America. And he has decided, for good or ill, that tomorrow he is going to go, on his own, to Disneyland.

When he told me that I just shook my head and wished him luck. And yes, I did wonder, just for a moment, if maybe the poor man isn’t losing his mind.

Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #203



"The demonic force has seized control. Ascension to a higher Earth realm has been halted."

"People are trapped." Horror and shock sweep through me.

"The price of the human soul exceeds all else in the dark side marketplace. To speak it bluntly, my woman."

"Is... is there anyone who is... rescuing humanity?"


"We are. As we have discussed, my Sh’raka, many are helping humankind on Earth and assisting in saving Mother Earth. However, Chaos is being fueled by those who worship death and destruction. By those who practice the most heinous and unspeakable dark-sacrifice rituals."

I breathe in soft gasps, and squeeze my eyes shut against what I never wanted to think about, or imagine. What I never wanted to know about -- those kind of rituals. Yet, I must know. Because it is the truth.

"I have set my soul to bring about their defeat of the soulless ones. Haven't I?" I ask, as the realization strikes inside me like a lightning bolt.

"Yes, it is one of your sacred vows for this lifetime." My lion man rocks me in his embrace. How I love him.

I open my eyes as the soft whisper of intuition causes me to gaze outside of the pyramid. I still completely, astounded. A dragon, a real live dragon flies in the bright blue sky. Writhing and sinuously spiraling, the amber-gold beast appears to be dancing on the air currents.

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

This week brings the arrival of the Thunder Dragon energies. This means many of us will now AWAKEN to our inner power in a whole new way. Also, we will have the intuitive knowledge of how to use this ruthless and relentless power against THOSE who would destroy humanity and Mother Earth.

In opposition to this new power, the soulless ones will cause crisis after crisis meant to seize everyone's attention. Thus, tumult will take over the world stage this week.

Along with the Thunder Dragon energies, the rise of the Goddess Nature becomes obvious at this time. This rise in the feminine force will show up as both wrath and compassion. Goddess wrath against THOSE who harm and murder innocents. And goddess compassion for the truly innocent, the truly good among us.

Now, during the year, 2012, in the midst of unspeakable CHAOS and 'berserker' plunder by the bankster gangsters, it is time to open the gates to real peace and prosperity. If you keep yourself open to the possibility, you will discover the step-by-step opportunities that will eventually lead to a better life for you, your loved ones, and for ALL.

On the AWAKENING front, at this point in time, the movement to stop doing business with the 'big boy' corrupt corporations will grow by leaps and bounds. More and more, 'the people' will be coming together and doing business locally with their friends and neighbors. This includes banking. For, whenever the good mom and pop businesses are supported, the better off we will all be in the long run.

On the economic front, the deterioration of the worldwide economy continues, and the rage of the people rises sweeping non-stop across the globe. There will be mass movements to implement the solution used by the people of Iceland.

In this age of the *above the law* bankster gangsters, in this age of print money on demand, be aware of this recent Greenspan quote: "we can't guarantee the buying power of the money". Remember also, as one globalist stated, 'anything written on paper is worth the paper it's written on'.

For this week, and for the next week, THOSE at the top of the corrupt economic pyramid have several nasty surprises ready to be used against 'the people'. Specifics are difficult because there are many options on the table, and the situation is somewhat fluid. However, it might be wise to have cash on hand and as little as possible in the bank.

On the truth front, a war of division ensues. Those of us who know how valuable the TRUTH is, and are willing to know the whole truth despite the mind-blowing agony we face -- we will now be in direct conflict with those who choose to exist in the world as created by the new world order crowd and their brain-drain media minions. This 'division' will be similar to the American Civil War because it will cause brother to come against brother. At the same time, it will bring some families closer together.

On the war front, the buildup for World War III continues. Boom! Boom! In opposition, the GOOD angelic forces add their energies and strength to any individual and any group standing against the utter devastation of war. As well, the OTHERS who favor humanity are working hard behind the scenes to halt the dark siders as much as possible.

On the personal front, this is the week to pay particular attention to your health, and the health of your loved ones. Check out new strategies to improve your health, and try whatever resonates with your inner knowing. If you use supplements, begin stocking up on the ones you, and your loved ones, use regularly. Also, look for ways to work together with those you trust, so you can help keep each other healthy.

On the food front, with food rationing a 'possibility' on down the road, it is wise for you, and your loved ones, to stockpile good foods, and become as independent as you are able. Around the purchase of food, there are possible 'future' scenarios -- most of them false flags operations -- that will bring about police-state restrictions. However, this depends on how fast humanity AWAKENS, and says 'hell no!'.

On the paranormal front, right now all roads lead to the planet, Mars. The past, present, and future of the so-called red planet is now crucial to how our future plays out on Earth. This knowledge will begin to seep inside the mass consciousness of humanity as events around Mars unfold.

On the land changes front, more catastrophic events are looming beyond the manufactured drought and the weather-war caused flooding that is taking place in several countries. As well, with the active volcanoes beneath the oceans heating up the water, and the fierce activity of the sun, earthquakes, superstorms and volcanic activity will continue. Also, there could be some evidence of an asteroid storm.

On the really bad news front, every excuse will be used by the dark-powers-that-be to dramatically beef up the police state. More false flag events are scheduled to occur so this goal will be accomplished. For, the human spirit must be crushed under the heavy ugly boot of authority. Otherwise, the soulless ones will lose their control over humanity forever.

On the good news front, what was forecast last week will continue -- despite the major white-wash reporting by the presstitute media. To quote: "the real *truth* about the major banks will rain down fast and furious now."

As well, there will be more of a push to bring forth the energy technologies that will free humanity from the evil oil cartel. This 'push' should have occurred already in the timeline. However, several key people involved in providing these energy devices would have lost their lives too early, in accordance with the Divine plan.

Trendwise, as has been mentioned, the rise of the citizen reporter takes off like gang busters. For, the TRUTH will be carried to them by the angels most devoted to Mother Earth and the human race.

Also, guns and ammo will now become one of the new currencies.

Sooner rather than later -- instead of using currency -- any type of skill that benefits others will be in demand. These skills will be traded in many areas of the world, and in our beloved country. This includes the ability to read and comprehend.

This is a superb week to focus on beauty, and contemplate anything beautiful that calls to your soul, and sustains your spirit.

It's release day for Taming the Boss Lady

I'm so happy. Today is release day for my latest book ~ Taming the Boss Lady


It's the 3rd in the Masters of Submission series, and features one of the co-owners Matthew Strong. He's really got his work cut out with his new lady, Kelly McCloud. She's feisty, opinionated and wants him. Has Matthew met his match Taming the Boss Lady?


I'm also very proud of the cover which I designed myself. Let me know what you think :-)


Here's the blurb:



Twenty-nine-year-old Kelly McCloud is not the average submissive. CEO of a large corporate company, she demands and gets respect wherever she goes. Surrounded by weak yes-men, Kelly yearns for the touch of a dominant man—someone who can relieve the pressure in her hectic life.
Natural Dom and Club Submission owner Matthew Strong is instantly drawn to the sexy, self-assured woman. Just who is this opinionated, outspoken lady who frequents his club night after night? When she turns down all the other Masters, he decides to take control.
At thirty-five, Matthew has the experience to handle any woman, however important she may believe herself to be. With a little careful training, he can mold Kelly into the perfect sub, but when enemies from within surface unexpectedly, his well-laid plans may just have to be put on hold.
Has Matthew finally met his match taming the boss lady?

Wednesday's Words for July 18, 2012

For the second time in our lives, Mr. Ashbury and I are preparing to get on board a plane and fly to California.

A few years ago, we visited San Francisco, so that I could attend the Romance Writers of America National Conference being held in that city.

This occasion is for the same conference, but a different city: we’ll be landing at LAX and then taking the Super Shuttle to Anaheim.

I’m a member of not only my own local RWA chapter, Toronto Romance Writers, but also of two “online” chapters—Passionate Ink, and Kiss of Death.

The first is devoted to what we’ll call the writing of steamier romance, and the second to mystery/suspense authors.

Most of my novels have suspense sub-plots, and I strive to hone my skills in this sub-genre with each new story written.

One major reason I’m excited about going to the RWA National Conference is that I will finally get to meet, face to face, with a member of my online writing group: D. B. Reynolds, author of the excellent paranormal series, Vampires In America.

D. B. and I have “known” each other online for a number of years. She and I share moderator duties of the Online Writers Group that is hosted by the website of New York Times bestselling author, Kelley Armstrong.

If you are a fan of a well crafted plot and compelling characters, then I recommend the series. Published by Imajinn Books, they’re available in e-book and print, at Amazon as well as Barnes & Noble.

Whenever we travel for a conference or convention, I always make an effort to do some sightseeing and research in the area. As an author, having a variety of places you’ve visited is golden. It is, of course, possible to set a story in a city you’ve never visited—especially today with all of the research available on the Internet. There are virtual tours and local newspapers, Google Earth, and all manner of photographs and videos available so that a person can get a pretty good sense of a place without even leaving their chair.

But there is something to be said for knowing the scent of a city, the sight and the sound and the rhythm of it. And of course, nothing beats meeting and chatting with the people who live there.

As I have done for the last few conferences, I have arranged to have a scooter available at the hotel when I arrive. Despite wearing a step counter daily, and often managing to take between 5000 and 8000 steps each day, I simply cannot walk long distances without ending up in complete agony. Having a scooter means I’m not confined to the conference site, but can sample some of the neighborhood, too.

I’ve been told there is a wealth of eateries and shops, a virtual treasure-trove of tourist spots—within a five minute scooter ride of the hotel.

I’ll be signing books at the Literacy Autographing event—where all of the proceeds from the books sold go to fund literacy programs both locally and nationally. If you’re there, come by and say hi.

You doubtless recall all the teasing I’ve received from practically every member of my family—as well as several friends—about my proclivity for making lists before I travel. Well, I am pleased to report that my beloved has adopted this habit. Of course, he makes his list on a tiny note pad, from which he also crosses items off once they are in the suitcase. He says he uses the note pad for convenience but I believe he uses it because it is so easy to conceal. I think I’m the only one in the family—or anywhere else, for that matter—who knows that my beloved has adopted my ‘anal’ habit.

Or rather, I suppose I should say, I was.

Love,
Morgan

"Love Slave for Two: Reunions (Bk 3)" Coming Soon!

First of all, today is release day for "Good Will Ghost Hunting: Hell's Bells," the second book in my Good Will Ghost Hunting series:

http://www.bookstrand.com/good-will-ghost-hunting-hells-bells

Secondly...

*drumroll!*

I'm so excited! I love the cover for "Love Slave for Two: Reunions (Bk 3)" which is coming July 30th!

Blurb:


Nevvie and Thomas think Tyler is nuts for coming home with an RV and an even crazier plan to travel from Florida to Seattle. What could be better than a family vacation with two kids and Tyler’s father?

Perhaps finally putting the ghosts of Nevvie’s past to bed for good as she seeks answers to who she is.

She begins to seriously doubt the wisdom of their journey as mishaps seemingly pile up by the mile. And when a tropical storm and medical emergency add to the mix, she considers pulling the plug. By the time they reach Seattle, she endures almost more than her sanity can take, including a ride in a patrol car, a stowaway, and non-consensual use of handcuffs.

And that’s before she’s given her mother a piece of her mind.

Through it all she’ll discover that sometimes the longest journeys, no matter how trying, are the ones that bring you closest to family—and home.

To make sure you don't miss any of my releases, go to my Siren author page and click the Notify Me link at the top of the page.


AND... "Love Slave for Two: Reckoning (Bk 4)" will be coming soon as well, so stay tuned for more info!

Also, I'm working on Tony's story ("The Denim Dom") from "The Reluctant Dom" and "Domme by Default" (coming soon from Siren).

Thanks!

Tymber.

Angelic Forecast ~ #202



A sob escapes me. I hadn't meant to break down. Embarrassed, I bury my face against Dhuroth's chest.

Once some control returns, I say, "I had no idea about the huge underbelly of evil that exists, that existed. I had no idea there was a small psychopathic group who hated humanity so desperately they've spent age upon age working to enslave and control and kill. A group who wants Earth made in its own image."

"Yes, made in their image. Or destroyed." My lion man intones his words so seriously I raise my gaze to him.

"Wait." Dhuroth touches his finger to my lips. "Before you speak look at what has suddenly appeared."

He takes hold of my shoulders, gently turning me around so I am gazing outside of the pyramid again. I gape at the sight, seeing three enormous portals in the sky that look like they're made out of crystal. There are angel attendants around them.

"They're closed," I say the obvious. "Why?" My question burns eerily through me.

"The demonic force has seized control. Ascension to a higher Earth realm has been halted."

"People are trapped." Horror and shock sweep through me.

"The price of the human soul exceeds all else in the dark side marketplace. To speak it bluntly, my woman."

"Is... is there anyone who is... rescuing humanity?"

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

Now the ANGELS OF LIGHT descend en masse upon our Earth, and many of us will sense and glimpse their presence. Often this spiritual force will be observed as unusual rainbows. For, at this time, the battle against evil permeates every layer of our material world.

In opposition to the angelic force, the dark-side global elite will bring forth the FEAR FACTOR. They will use tried and true tactics to punch the fear button inside humanity -- inside us all. There will be manufactured events and elevate-the-fear news stories brought to you courtesy of the brain-drain media.

Also, more CIRCUS CIRCUS entertainments will be doled out, as well as promises of 'bread' for the starving. However, large numbers of 'the people' will no longer believe, and will begin making every effort to get out of the system.

Know this, if you want to secure your personal freedom, and the freedom of the human race, there has never been a more important time to take action according to your conscience, and your skill and ability.

On the economic front, helter skelter rules. Behind the scenes the bankster gangsters consolidate their immense vaults of stolen loot, and plan their total takedown of the worldwide economy. However, there are forces that remain out of the soulless ones' control, and 'some' of their plans will not get off the ground.

For, those known as 'the white hats' have plans of their own. Their timely obstruction will give 'the people' more opportunity to stock up their larders, and prepare for the difficult times ahead. As well, the real *truth* about the major banks will rain down fast and furious now.

On the war front, there will be big nasty moves this week all designed to keep a high level of chaos, and to initiate World War III. With the rise of the drone, of the sky-net war machines, a robotic takeover of the military will occur sooner rather than later. For, the 'new world order' cabal knows a human army cannot conquer the people.

On the truth front, humanity as a whole is fed up with the deception and LIES coming from the top. Because truth is sacred, now THOSE who violate 'the people' with lies, fraud and deception are being exposed by THE LIGHT.

On the AWAKENING front, from this point forward, THOSE of us who truly love humanity will now be recognized. Far too many simply give lip service to caring about their sister/brother human beings -- too many say they care about each and every one of us, but don't.

Actions and deeds by those around you, and by THOSE on the world stage will begin to speak much louder than words. At this time, the cosmic energies are all about 'who loves you, baby?'. As well, the onslaught of propaganda casting humanity as the cause of all that's wrong with and on Mother Earth will continue to be exposed as one more major deception by the soulless ones.

On the paranormal front, once again, this is a complex picture. Basically, the extra sensory perception naturally part of the human race, now takes off like a rocket ship for a whole lot of us. It will be like looking into a darkened room suddenly flooded with bright white light.

As well, other dimensions become a general part of humanity's web of knowledge. This will play out in many ways, eventually coming together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Nowadays, the lunatic fringe is the place to be.

On the personal front, this week is all about protecting what is yours, what belongs to you by divine right. This means guarding your spiritual nature because it is under attack by the dark powers that be. Also, it is time to protect both your good relationships and your possessions. This is important due to the negative societal forces determined to steal them from you.

Also, this is a perfect week to be on lookout for golden opportunities. They will be as elusive as leprechauns. If you spy one, grab it, and don't let go.

On the food front, extremes in weather will continue across the planet, and more food crops will be lost. There is also the 'possibility' of catastrophic events which will shut down food, water, and medical supplies. Remember, there is only about three days worth of food in any grocery store. Also, it is wise to remain silent about how much food you have stored away.

On the land changes front, the dragon energy of Mother Earth writhes and twists this week, continuing until mid August. How this plays out on the Earth's surface will depend on many other factors, including assistance from benevolent extraterrestrials. However, these 'benevolents' are not allowed to halt certain needed changes. As always, dare to prepare!

Once again, the east and west coast of our beloved country could be affected by land change events, and by the current ferocious activity of the sun. Major flares and CME's will likely be bouncing off the Earth. This could cause superstorms and electrical grid problems.

On the really bad news front, the global green religion is being rolled out full force. Religious symbols have been, and are being co-opted to serve this bankster-gangster, manmade religion. In the name of FEAR and GUILT, you must now bow down to 'their' green god, and submit to totalitarian rule. From a historical perspective, this is the same ruthless strategy used by many regimes to subdue populations. Sacred symbols and sacred days were taken over by another brand of religion.

On the good news front, the true American spirit is being revived. As the UN crackdown on guns goes viral, more and more Americans will be openly and lawfully carrying their sidearms. Out of this return to America's roots, crime in general will lessen, and an independent, can-do nature will be established in certain outlying areas.

Trendwise, several trends heighten this week. Foremost is the 'rise of the robot technocracy' as it was described yesterday. Of course, this means THOSE warriors/warrioresses who know how to defeat the machines will rise in skill and prominence.

At this time, the virtual world is now in competition with the real world. This means some in the population have no idea how to interact with a group of people or how to have a one on one relationship. They are clueless about how to negotiate in the real world. This will have far reaching consequences for society.

Another trend, now corruption begins feeding on itself to such a degree, many who were oblivious wake up and take action. In the near future activism on a wide scale becomes the norm.

This is a great week to form a partnership either for business or personal reasons. As well, go have a fun with a special friend.

Big Willy

I just returned home from a ten-day trip to Lewisburg, Tennessee. Standing in for my brother so he could go on his annual Fourth of July vacation, I noticed a huge increase in farm duties this time and believe me, the workload wasn’t easy. Farming never is.

This summer was quite different than last. For starters, the farm employees had walked off the job when the temperature hit over a hundred degrees. My brother had specifically asked each of his employees to ‘take off’ between the hours of eleven and four so they could avoid the hottest part of the day. Ultimately, when they returned for their jobs a few days later, he wouldn’t hire them back after they’d pitched a group tantrum over the weather, something he couldn’t control.

In the end, my father and I were left to tend the farms without any help. And talk about brutal. Not only did we see a few days where the temperature topped a hundred and five degrees, but we were left to work the farms by ourselves. We didn’t have the luxury of taking off during the heat of the day.

Typically, when I cover for my brother, I only have a few chores to do around the farm. My dad normally works the cattle and handles the physical operations of the farms while I write the checks, order feed, pick up whatever the guys need in town, etc. Most of the time, other than the domestic pets and a few other exceptions, I couldn’t tell you what animals are on the property.

This time, I became well acquainted with the animals. One in particular—Big Willy—grabbed my attention on the first day. While feeding “Pam T” her bottle, Big Willy charged a nearby fence and made sure his presence was known. On several occasions he would stand at the gate and bellow, stamping the ground like he was digging his way to freedom.

To be honest, I avoided going near the main barn whenever “Big Willy” was in sight. A fence separated us, but he often followed me in an apparent effort to taunt the newcomer, becoming my companion whenever I walked from the house to the barn. He must’ve appointed himself my personal bodyguard. Whenever it was time to feed, he lurked nearby, and I really didn’t appreciate his effort.

On more than one occasion, I told my dad, “That bull will hurt someone one of these days.”

Dad agreed. He explained how my brother's girlfriend had bottle fed the bull and had a difficult time with the idea of selling him.

I didn’t take a picture of this creature, but best estimates suggest Big Willy weighs somewhere around eighteen hundred pounds. Yes, 1800 pounds is a scary beast when he’s snorting continually, butting his head against the fence, and charging anything that moves.

Well, as a woman often will (or at least this woman), I bitched. I bitched about being taunted, about the boards he’d loosened, and about how the bull seemed determined to keep me up at night with uninterrupted bellowing.

Turns out, someone should’ve listened. And this is one time I wish I hadn’t been right.

My brother, the brother who has been the rock of the family, was trampled by Big Willy this past week. The bull charged him, tossed him several feet in the air, managed to roll his body completely under his where he stomped him several times.

With the dogs barking like crazy, my brother’s girlfriend looked out the bedroom window and saw my brother crawling to the fence where he was able to hoist himself up to the third plank. At about the same time, Big Willy butted him again, propelling him high above the fence, where he safely and miraculously landed on the other side.

That final hit saved his life.

My brother was checked out by the local hospital. Believe it or not, he didn’t have any broken bones. He’s a big guy—nearly 6’4” and plenty of muscle. Still, he’s one lucky cowboy and definitely realizes how fortunate he is.

A few days after the accident, I said to him, “How are you feeling?”

In true form, he said, “It’s never felt so good to be in this much pain.”

I laughed, understanding his meaning. Prior to that, he’d told me several times, “I’m lucky to be alive, Susan. I tell ya. I’m lucky to be alive.”

His girlfriend couldn’t agree more. “He shouldn’t be here. How he got away from Big Willy, I’ll never know.”

Big Willy's days are numbered. Next week, he’ll head to Alabama where he’ll be sold to the highest bidder. By the weekend, with any luck, he’ll be packaged as prime beef.

Until next time,

Paranormal with a Steamy Twist

Siren-Bookstrand published Steam Toys, a paranormal story with strong steampunk elements. If you’re in the market for a cute and sexy ménage novella, pick up your copy of Steam Toys.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Blurb:

An overdose of steam tosses a disgruntled ghost back into the present. A successful brothel owner in her former life, Heidi Labeidi materializes in front of Edward Brady, an eccentric mad scientist.

Edward and Heidi become acquainted. He takes her out in public and discovers a shocking truth. No one else can see her. After a public catastrophe, Edward’s partner, Barron Capwell, shows up on his doorstep making demands. Relieved to discover his partner can see his houseguest, Edward considers what to do with the outspoken dead madam.

Heidi has a few ideas. A ghost is pretty assertive after thirty sexless years have come and gone.

Eager to please Edward and Barron, Heidi offers her assistance, but it comes at a price. Once the men realize she’s the only thing standing between their future and potential demise, Barron and Edward succumb to Heidi’s advances and she fulfills their every desire.

Excerpt:

Las Vegas, 2010

Heidi Labeidi, the controversial proprietor of The Love Parlor, a popular gentleman’s club on the outskirts of Las Vegas, was reported missing yesterday morning at five o’clock.

Miss Labeidi’s bar manager, Stan Graves, returned from a two-week European holiday and discovered disgruntled staff members and inner company chaos. According to Graves, Miss Labeidi had been acting “somewhat peculiar” in recent months, spending less time at The Love Parlor and relying on her staff to make deposits and handle customer relations.

Graves became concerned after he discovered Miss Labeidi had not visited the gentleman’s club in over a week. Mr. Graves stopped by Miss Labeidi’s luxurious loft in Las Vegas, let himself in, collected over a week’s worth of mail, and discovered her cat near death.

According to Graves, Miss Labeidi has few enemies but has been noted for her outrageous spending habits. She’s a suspected drug user and frequents the casinos whenever she isn’t working. Graves said recent mysterious behavior concerned several of the women working for The Love Parlor. Employees contributed Miss Labeidi’s mood swings to menopause, stating Miss Labeidi’s change-of-life experiences were often intolerable.

Based on findings at Miss Labeidi’s home, police are treating this as a missing persons case and remain optimistic. Individuals with information about Miss Labeidi’s last known whereabouts are asked to contact the authorities as soon as possible.


* * * *

Heidi glared at the open newspaper spread across her antique dining room table. Oh what she’d give to choke Stan Graves with her bare hands!

Stan not only arranged her disappearance, but he’d taken over her club, her home, and even had the audacity to place Rocks, her beloved Persian cat, at the foot of her bed while he romanced one hopeful starlet after another. The poor thing must’ve been terribly traumatized!

To add insult to personal injury, “those girls” who’d reportedly mentioned her mood swings—which she’d never experienced—were now laid up in her king-size bed fucking the man she’d once loved.

Heidi plotted her revenge. Retribution tasted bitter until a woman dished up a hearty serving for the man most deserving of a provoked female’s retaliation. Heidi would carefully plan a counterblow, and when Stan least expected avengement, she’d propel some fundamental disgrace his way and watch the light dim in Stan’s smug face!

No one—not even Stan Graves—held the power to destroy what she’d worked years to build. If Stan needed a change of pace, he shouldn’t have gone to all this trouble. Heidi would’ve gladly knocked him back down to nothing where he belonged.

She narrowed her gaze on the article again. The boldness of those Las Vegas Tribune reporters! How could they do this and get by with it? To think the last thing anyone in Las Vegas would remember about her was that she was going through the change of life. Bah!

She’d let them see a new woman. Yes indeed, she’d show them what happened to those who messed with Heidi Labeidi. She’d prove her point all right, just as soon as she figured out how to let folks know she was still among the living.

That presented a slight problem. Technically, she was now considered a ghost, and death wasn’t exactly easy to overcome.

Wednesday's Words for July 11, 2012

Mr. Ashbury has a “lucky vacation travel shirt”. I kid you not, he does, and it is beyond a doubt the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

I’ve very nearly thrown that shirt out several times, as he never saw fit to explain to me, before this most recent vacation, that this particular garment held significance for him.

It’s a collared, polo shirt. That’s about the only good thing I can say about the thing. It is red, with red “squares” interspersed with red and black squares, the latter which are tiny red squares with black stripes inside them. The whole thing is sort of like something you might see if someone zapped a checkerboard with a “shrink-me” ray gun.

If you look at it too closely while he is wearing it and moving, you’ll get dizzy.

I was trying to recall just how old this short sleeved, polyester-blend shirt is. If I am not mistaken, he wore it on the first ever trip we took—the first time we boarded a plane when we finally took our honeymoon after 17 years of marriage, back in 1989.

Yes, that shirt is old enough to get drunk in a bar, and vote.

My beloved has informed me that he intends to wear this shirt when we fly to California on the 22nd of this month, and again when we fly to Dallas in August. I have tried to reason with him that these ‘trips’ are not vacations, and therefore, they do not require the presence of this talisman.

The man looked at me as if I wasn’t quite “all there”. And then he asked me, in a most serious tone, if I really wanted to “tempt fate”.

Since we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary on Saturday, I suppose it’s rather late for me to lament his general lack of fashion sense. This is no slur against him, as he would be the first to agree that when it comes to taste in clothing, he doesn’t have any.

I think my first clue to this unfortunate reality was when, in our first year of marriage, he bought me a black and pumpkin-orange night gown. His desire to please me and to gift me with “sexy and fetching apparel” knew no bounds in those early years. I was always very appreciative of his efforts, of course—after all it really is the thought that counts. Please don’t ask me to list some of the other items he bought for me. I seem to have a black hole in my memory about these things.

They say the sub-conscious works to conceal traumas from the conscious mind as a means of “protecting” the psyche. I believe them.

These days, of course, Mr. Ashbury either takes our daughter shopping with him, or he does the modern thing and gives me a gift card.

I return the favor by not giving him gift cards, but instead going to the mall and purchasing him the clothing he needs. While the fact that he always likes what I pick out for him doesn’t really mean much—he really doesn’t have enough clothing sense to know if the clothes I buy him are right for him or not—on those occasions when we go out, his family always compliments him on his apparel.

Now, I know that the astute among you will be left wondering, well, Morgan, where then did that ugly-ass red shirt come from in the first place?

Friends, I tell you honestly, I have no clue. I really don’t recall how that shirt came to be in my beloved’s possession, let alone how it became such an integral part of his wardrobe.

I can only surmise it was a gift from one of my in-laws.

Love,
Morgan

Angelic Forecast ~ #201


"That is the trap," my lion man answers, reading my thoughts.

"Oh, if only there is a way to truly tip the scales." I rethink my words. "We all need to be tipping the scales with our acts of goodness."

"The heart of humankind struggles to ascend, to rule as is meant to be. Love, compassion, as a force when balanced with a fierce and relentless spirit to protect what is good, and who is good... this balance of the soul can never be defeated. Not by the force of evil, nor by the most cunning and diabolical of beings."

Dhuroth's words are a balm, a shield against the upcoming times.

"Once upon a time," I say as I let the memories flood my mind, "I thought the good times were here. On Earth, I mean. 'Let the good times roll' was often the attitude back then. And, to be honest, it seemed possible "

"Yes." My lion man strokes my hair. "During the seventies, the eighties...those decades."

I nod against his chest. "I thought it was only a matter of being brave enough to think positive, to go forward and create a better world for myself and others. To keep learning and growing in all ways, especially spiritually." I pause, my heart hurting. "I devoted myself to that path, so to speak."

"Yes, I know. I feel that truth in you, my Sh’raka."

Tears well in my eyes. So many emotions assault me. "I had real hope back then, a belief in the future. My future. Humanity's future. I worked so hard to create my dreams."

A sob escapes me. I hadn't meant to break down. Embarrassed, I bury my face against Dhuroth's chest.

Once some control returns, I say, "I had no idea about the huge underbelly of evil that exists, that existed. I had no idea there was a small psychopathic group who hated humanity so desperately they've spent age upon age working to enslave and control and kill. A group who wants Earth made in its own image."

"Yes, made in their image. Or destroyed." My lion man intones his words so seriously I raise my gaze to him.

ANGELIC FORECAST ~

At this point during the pivotal year of 2012, All THOSE of good heart will move into the magick. The vibrational patterns on Mother Earth are gradually transitioning toward a time where each one of us will be able to fully express who we are as magickal human beings. For an idea of humanity's possibilities think: the legend of Camelot meets the inventive arts explosion of the Renaissance.

To counter our magickal 'rise' as individuals and as the human race, the soulless ones will use every diabolical trick in their ages-old play book to diminish and enslave everyone. FEAR is always their favorite weapon of choice with GUILT a close second.

This battle between GOOD and evil can be compared to Darth Vader emerging from his movie grave with ten Death Stars circling the planet. Now is the time to honor your inner rebel, and take action in accordance with your spiritual nature.

On the AWAKENING front, the masks are falling away. Those who have been considered 'above the rest of us' in intelligence and ability, and the so-called leaders of the corp-gov, will now experience a fall from grace. For, this grace was merely manufactured propaganda, and 'the people' now AWAKEN.

On the truth front, once again, obscure historical truths rise like deadly serpents to attack those who despise humanity. In the coming times, history, as it has been presented, will be shattered over and over again.

On the paranormal front, the ancients speak. What was, before recorded history, now surfaces in the words of what some have called the gods and goddesses. These powerful ancient ones will, once again, begin to walk amongst some of us. Even now, their eons-old battle against enemies continues to rage. However, most of these powerful ones come to help humanity reclaim the paradise that is Earth.

On the economic front, during the month of July there will be a permanent earthquake of events 'designed' to further manipulate the dwindling worldwide economy. However, more TRUTH about the bankster gangsters breaks loose like a super-fierce dragon confined for far too long.

Out of these revelations, many more will take responsibility for bringing forth new ways of trade, of doing business with each other. Many more of us will realize all true wealth comes from the land -- and from the skills, talents, and smarts of 'we the people'.

This week, or the next week, look for wild fluctuations in the banking system. As well, top bankers will continue resigning in droves, and leaving the planet due to untimely deaths. Likely, this major story will be kept from the people by the presstitute media.

On the war front, misdirection rules this week. As the drumming-hype continues to start a major war in the Mideast, the real war ramps up against 'the people'. Those who love liberty worldwide are now the primary targets of the dark-side elitists, and THEY own the armies.

Also, on the near horizon acts of 'possible' terrorism and false-flag attacks will be the big-fear stick used to beat humanity down, and into submission. Thus, to bring in the one world corp-gov.

On the personal front, this is the week to pay particular attention to the homefront. Do you have a way to stock more food, water, and other necessary supplies? Any nook and cranny will do. Take time to make plans with others to help each other out during a crisis. The superstorms are not over.

Also, this is a special week to have fun with family and friends, pets included.

On the food front, everyone who knows how to store seeds and has a place to store them, make this one of your missions. With the ongoing contamination by the GM/GMO franken-foods, any viable seed will be appreciated and needed in the coming times. As well, preserving the summer bounty of fruits and vegetables by canning, drying and freezing is a wise move.

On the land changes front, Mother Earth is continuing her growth, her needed changes. However, most of the danger comes from the continuing weather wars. As well, artificial manipulations of the land are being done by mad scientists types with their secret, planet-killing tech toys. One is the leviathan machine at CERN, which is 'not' for discovering the so-called "God particle" as is being advertised.

On the really bad news front, behind the scenes there is a gold war between several of the most technically advanced factions of the global elite. For, he/she who controls the vast amounts of gold on planet Earth rules the flow of world commerce and the endless amounts of fiat currency. This is because the uses for gold are far beyond what has been told to the public.

Further, in truth, the world is not broke. There is enough for All. The economic collapse is all a giant fraud, and is simply being used as a means to control humanity.

On the good news front, despite the downside of human nature, which has been amplified by those on the dark side intentionally for age upon age, the GOOD inherent in us all, the good that is the human being, now rises up as never before. Take heed however, and always use discernment in a situation when any good deed is offered. Is it GOOD that is really being offered?

There is a special opportunity with your name on it this week. Even the smallest opportunity will mean a better and brighter future for you.

Trendwise, at this time there are several major splits or schisms taking place in the population. Groups who are fed up with the establishment are forming their own communities, their own tribes, so to speak. One of the future schisms will be between those who are city dwellers and those who refuse to be herded into the cities. Even now, there is no more 'mainstream' in our beloved country. Only a facade remains, and is meant to fool as many as possible, for as long as possible.

This is the week to contact a friend you haven't spoken to for awhile. Catch up and enjoy each other's company.
