Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).
In this group you’ll find anything from romance and historical fiction to mystery and YA. The common thread is that every story’s main character identifies as LGBTQ+. The snippets could range from zero flames to full-on sexytimes, anything goes content-wise. The only rule is snippets will be 6 sentences long–one for each color in the Pride flag.
I would invite everyone to please come check out the Rainbow Snippets group, click on a link, read and comment on the writing available and get involved yourselves in this awesome exercise. The link to the group can be found HERE. The following Snippet is from Serpent's Kiss, available at amazon.com and through Kindle select. Serpent's Kiss can be found here!
“Hell yeah,” Darian remarked without
thought, quickly realizing his mistake. “Sorry, but if ever a moment called for
cursing, this was it. Holy…seriously, this one amazing armory.”
“This is but a small collection, the
true armory if kept far from here. Perhaps, if you cease to annoy my mistress
she will allow us to spar with a few of them, if you believe you are capable.”
“I’ve done my share of playing with
knives.”
“Good, then I look forward to testing
just how much play you are capable of.”
Darian flicked out his tongue, licking
along his upper lip, deliberately teasing the same way it seemed as if Karim
was teasing him. For a moment, the minister was forgotten as he locked eyes
with Karim and saw the interest flicker in the other man’s eyes.
Interesting challenges being placed here...
ReplyDeleteHe flicked out his tongue? Like a snake flicks it? *hides behind the couch* :-)
ReplyDeleteBetting it's more than his combat skill about to be tested.
