Megan of Veiled Secrets Reviews has given Cat’s Meow a 4 Fiery Dragon Review. Thanks so much, Megan! The Predators are very special to me, inspired by one of my favorite Dean Koontz books, Watchers.

“An Emotional roller-coaster … Cat’s Meow will run the gamut from laughter and sensuality to tears… A red hot burning passion explodes whenever Micah and Becca are in the same room even under negative circumstances. Put them in that room alone and watch the sparks fly as the pair find many inventive ways of exploring their desires.

“With at least two more victims of Project Predator known to us I can’t wait to see what Ms. Austin comes up with next in the Predator series.”

Don’t forget to stop by Tera’s blog today to check out my interview and for a chance to win a Kindle!

It’s almost Thanksgiving…already. Ack! Snuck up on me this year. The best part of the holiday is getting together with family and friends, and sharing our favorite treats. My favorite…Bourbon Sweet Potato Caserole. Its a simple recipe even those cooking challenged can handle.

Ingredients:
6 medium sweet potatoes
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup butter, melted
1/3 cup orange juice
¼ cup bourbon
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1 cup miniature marshmallows

Preparation:
Cook sweet potatoes in boiling salted water in a large sauce pan approximately 30 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool to touch, then peel. (Or take the simplified way and buy frozen mashed sweet potatoes)
Mash potatoes in a large bowl. Add sugar, butter, orange juice, bourbon, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until fluffy and smooth.
Spoon into a lightly greased 1 ½ quart baking dish. Sprinkle pecans around the edge.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle marshmallows on top and bake for 5 additional minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown.
Serves 8 to 10

Ellora’s Cave Publishing ~ October 21, 2009

Predators – Shape-shifter trilogy

Book 1: Cat’s Meow

 

Blurb:

Micah Lasiter won’t let age or physical wear-and-tear slow him down. Presented with the chance to be stronger than ever before, he doesn’t hesitate to join The Predator Project. Not that refusing is an option.

Too bad nobody warned him about the possible side effects.

Dr. Rebecca Southerby works with cats. Big cats. She’s not sure why a scientific research organization wants a zoologist on staff but the great perks that come with the job make it easy to overlook a few peculiarities.

What’s shocking is finding her one-night-stand at the secret lab, and discovering how much he’s changed.

Ensnared in a strange new reality, they’ll have to work together to bring down the corrupt organization and untangle a web of secrets with the power to either bind them together or kill them.

 

Book 2, Eye of the Tiger, coming soon!
