Hi everyone. What a busy week! The weather here screams FALL and though I am writing, writing, writing, I want to spend as much time outside as possible before we have to hunker down for winter. I hope things are going well for all of you. I’m sharing another snippet from Cat Nip to celebrate this week’s release.
After the others emptied the streets of Willow Springs, Hunter returned to the El Diablo for a chat with Mars.
He didn’t waste time on niceties when he found the saloon owner perched on a bar stool nursing a glass of his imported liquor.
“The woman sitting in the corner tonight—who is she and what was she doing?”
“Keeping me alive,” Mars admitted and raised his whiskey in a toast. “God bless Maggie Jenks.”
He laughed, emptied his glass, and filled it again before continuing. “She’s a healer. Don’t make trouble for Jinx. A lot of people around here would be sorry to see her leave. You, on the other hand, we can do without.”
The cat is out of the bag and here…

Looks like an interesting set up and plot.

That was pretty straight forward!
Gee, Mars… tell us how people really feel about Hunter. LOL Great snippet. (Is “Jinx” her nickname or a typo?)
Nickname.
Bam! Mars shoots from the hip… Good lines!
Terrific dialogue gets the reader right into the scene. YUM!
Great scene and bags of attitude!
SHABAM! Take that! What an excellent response. 🙂 Great snippet. I must say, I love the animated graphic in your bookcover. And the newsletter app is very professional. I’ll have to check into that.
(Nothing for me this week. Just doing a little hopping.)
I’m so glad to see this one is available! I’m adding it to my TBR right this second. Love the comeback…and the nickname Jinx – I have a character from a while back that I’d named Jinx 😀 😉
Hooray! It’s here! Guess I know how I’m spending my afternoon.
And I love that last line—that’s put Hunter in his place. 😀
Intriguing story – I like him but he does seem to be the kind of guy who needs to be reminded not everyone loves him LOL. Added this to the kindle TBR. Great 8!
Heading to Amazon for my copy now. Great interaction between Hunter and Mars (Love your name choices). Great teaser!
That last line is one of the best lines I’ve read all day.
Added it to my Kindle app, but goodness knows when I’ll get to it.
The last line makes me think that Mars doesn’t fancy Hunter. If that’s the case, I’m wondering why. Good excerpt!
“You on the other hand…” Wow. Hard to say anything after that.
Great snippet! There’s a lot of attitude in those words. I also love the promo image, the movement is cool.
Very atmospheric. The El Diablo sounds like my kind of place.
