Hi everyone. I’m sharing a final pre-publication snippet from Cat Nip today. The total story will be released and available at the distros August 14th. Thank you all for your wonderful comments and support.
“No questions about me, about my other self?” Hunter asked, wondering why she wasn’t curious about the jaguar.
“You met Huza,” Maggie answered, giving him a flat stare. “Obviously you’re only one of my many odd friends and strange acquaintances.” And then she seemed to think over what she’d said and added, “There’s only one like you, right?”
He shook his head.
“The men at the camp last night—the man I healed?”
“Yep,” he said gruffly.
“All of them are cats like you?”
“Not exactly,” he told her. “But we’re all beasts burdened with men.”

This makes me want to read more. 🙂
Good dialogue with a leading answer at the end. Wow!
Wow, can’t wait to read about all the different men beasts! Nice exchange.
Beasts burned with men- great line and it makes me wonder about the rules at work in this world. August 14th seems like a long time to have to wait for answers!
His last line certainly explains a lot about his attitude! 🙂
I’m sorry that this is the last snippet from this, Gem, but since that means the book will be out soon, I’ll cope. Impatiently.
“But we’re all beasts burdened with men.”
Nice. Except that now I really want to keep going, and I can’t. 🙂
It looks like she is heading for a surprise.
You’ve created a fascinating world.
Loved this: “But we’re all beasts burdened with men.” What a fantastic juxtaposition. Beast first. Man second. Very nice.
I’m with the others, love that final line! I can;t wait to read this so please keep us posted on the release. Another excellent excerpt!
We’re all beasts burdened by men…. Great line. Good stuff, Gem.
I love this twist on how a human reader might think: ““But we’re all beasts burdened with men.” Priceless! Good 8, Gem. 🙂 Please post in a wewriwa snippet when this gets released?
I love that last line. I’m so liking these snippets. 🙂
The beast line was excellent, but now you’ve got me humming the Stones’ “Beast of Burden!” LOL
That last line is a winner!
Seems like you wrote a winner of a line…we all love it!
Love the last line, Gem! Beasts burdened with men. 😀 Great snippet.
