Rainbow Snippet 1/22/22 More of Devin's Boys

 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.  

This week's Rainbow Snippet comes from Devin's Boys, part of a new small-town collection of stories. 

With full bellies, they stretched out on the blanket, heads touching as they stared up at the sky.

“Why’d we stop writing songs about the clouds?” Mikal murmured. Moon felt the touch of Mikal’s nails on his arm and reached for his hand, entangling their fingers.

Sighing, Moon took a moment to ponder that. “Guess we thought we were too grown-up for all that.”

“Know what I think?” Mikal murmured.

“What?”

“We thought wrong.”
