Rainbow Snippet 4/2/22: From Bleeding Dawn

   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 Bleeding Dawn, which will be my Road to Rocktoberfest Book for this year's series. 

“Wish I could work out the mystery that is Tripp as easily as I can work out a song,” Zakk muttered as he leaned in the doorway, watching Dez play while Zakk polished off his drink in a short series of gulps.

“Was sitting here thinking the same about Riley,” Dez muttered. “At least we’ve already got a name.”

“Huh?” Zakk hummed, taking his eyes off the patten of Dez’s fingers in time to see him nod his head at the guitar.

“Solving the mystery that is you,” Dez remarked, shrugging. “Or at least something along those lines away.”

While he wasn’t sure the lyrics he’d heard so far were about solving anything, they were as good a place as any to start.

“Let me plug in my keyboard.” As Zakk moved to do so, a thought stopped him cold.

“We gonna sort this out because we need to or are we gonna spend the day playing to avoid crashing and the assholes that are making us stress?”

“After that call, do you think you’ll sleep or just toss and turn in bed.”

“Point taken.”
