Hi, everyone! I’m in the last stages of getting my first self-pub through the door and trying to decide if I should put Call Me Miz in the Kindle Unlimited program. Any author/reader input would be greatly appreciated. (Email me or just leave a comment.)
Meanwhile, another snippet today from, Missouri Hess, my biker masseuse with healing hands. I think this could be considered her first disagreement with Thomas.
from~Call Me Miz
He lied to her and all pleasure in the evening stopped; she burned from the inside out with unresolved lust, but it was time to go home.
Thomas moved and stood between Miz and the door.
“I hope you’re a martial artist or something, because a man should feel like he has a fightin’ chance when I kick his ass,” Miz drawled.
“Let’s keep it simple,” he answered, changing his stance just enough to block the exit even better. “Last one with a stitch on wins.”
Miz looked at his single article of clothing—shorts…
Cocky bastard thought he could strip boots, shorts, tank top, and a towel off her before she could jerk down his fancy boxers.
She relaxed, flexing her muscles, loosening the joints in elbows, hips, and knees and, for effect, even cracked her knuckles. “Let the games begin.”

Call Me Miz Synopsis:
Masseuse, hedgewitch, healer… Although Missouri Hess can take suffering away with her touch, and pull truth from a liar every time, she considers her strange talents a curse. Being a healer is a lonely existence when the people you help, shun your truth-telling side. Nevertheless when misery calls, Miz is compelled to answer.
Thomas Hunter is a government agent and a member of an elite Special Forces team—emphasizing the word special. In human form, Thomas is a mouth-watering hunk of rippling muscles. Since he’s in Bitter Creek Holler to meet the local werewolves, he’s spending most of his time prowling the woods as a jaguar, ready to greet shifters in parlay or meet the enemy with fang and claw.
But Thomas doesn’t know the area, or realize until too late, that he’s become prey. When Miz rescues his furry form from a conibear trap, the beast in him claims her as his own. It’s up to Thomas to work out the details and convince the bewitching healer she’s his mate.

Oh, wow, I think he’s gonna get his ass handed to him. Great snippet, Gem.
Hard to resist a woman with a drawl.
Nice 8!
He does sound awful cocky, and she sounds pretty confident. I guess this will be an interesting challenge. Good 8
Hum, that lust might not be unresolved for too long.
*makes popcorn and settles down to watch the games*
This is going to get interesting!
Pass the popcorn, Paula! This is gonna be GOOD!!! 😀
I have no idea who to bet on, Gem . . . but the readers are definitely going to win this one. 🙂
Ha, is he all oiled up too? Might be a slippery little sucker : ). This was a fun snippet!
I just love everything about this snippet. Talk about leaving the reading wanting more!
He’s cocky, but is she just a tad bit too confident? I can’t wait to find out. Like always, you drew me right into the story. Great snippet!
Wow. Just wow;). I can’t wait to read more. The tension just leaps off the page. Great 8.
It’s unanimous. We all love the snippet but bets are off as to the winner or maybe no losers here.
Regarding Kindle Unlimited, my publisher is not in favor of it. That’s all I know. I just write books.
I’m all in. LOL. very teasing and intense snippet. You conveyed so much in a simple scene. it has humor, snark, hotness…
Interesting twist and I’m sure all kinds of fun will be had by all (including we readers) but I bet the lady wins. Excellent excerpt!
Loved this snippet, although I think it’s even money after reading the blurb. Another book for my TBR pile. And I’m sorry, but I have no advice about KU. Haven’t been there, done that.
Nice set-up. This piece crackles with attitude.
Hahaha – I’ll sit next to PT and pinch some popcorn …. 🙂
Great snippet, Gem!
