Rainbow Snippet: 4/23/22

   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!).

Claiming Cody

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 Saint's Sinner, my current WIP and the book that will follow Claiming Cody in the Rollin' Jokers series. 

“Was a family thing,” Night blurted. “My uncle was pissed and when he gets riled up my cousins aren’t far behind.”

Maybe he was imagining it, but suddenly, the pair looked less menacing and Saint, no, he wasn’t imagining the mixed look of pissed off and caring swirling in Saint’s eyes.

“Your uncle have your kutte?” Mark asked point-blank.

“I….it’s hanging upside down in his bar, or at least, that’s what my brother told me they were doing with it when he came out to the shed to cut me down.”

“Cut you….” Saint’s words trailed off as he cast a quick glance at his brother. Night wished he could communicate with his own sibling without words or hand signals.

Mark stuck two fingers in his mouth and let out the kind of piercing whistle that made outsiders alternately duck and look up at the sky, waiting for the bombs to fall.

“You guys pack this mess up and take it to the rec room,” Mark instructed. “I want to see at least three different ideas spelled out before the end of the night, so don’t you fucks get distracted playing pool in there.”
