​The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your TBR. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ.

For December, I'm sharing snippets from The Merchant's Love. I haven't written a holiday romance (yet), but this one is as close I have. It's a cozy story of a bookish royal and a sweet merchant who become friends and fall in love over books and baked goods as fall turns to winter and the winter holiday arrives in Tournai. There's a bit of magic gone wrong too, but it's honestly a warm hug in book form. I'm jumping in midway through the book for this snippet.

​This month, I'm sharing some snippets from The Envoy's Honor, which is a adversaries to lovers, dragon shifter romance that is part of the Chronicles of Tournai series, though it can be read as a stand alone. In The Envoy's Honor, a delegation from Ivria comes to Tournai afraid the secret of their existence and of the existence of dragons has been revealed by Corentin. Kirill is one of them and wants only to protect his home and people. Griffen's brother is going to marry Corentin, and Griffen wants only to protect his family, putting him in opposition to Kirill. The two circle around each other, attracted but unable to trust—until there is a murder and they have to rely on each other to solve it and save both their peoples. This snippet follows directly after last week's.

I'm continuing to share snippets from The Sorcerer's Guardian. The Sorcerer's Guardian is the fourth book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, but it can be read as a standalone. It's the story of an arrogant, powerful sorcerer and a loyal guard captain sent on a potentially dangerous and certainly arduous mission for the crown. And neither is happy about it, but they clash and snap at each other and somehow stumble into love along the way. This week's snippet follows last week's.

Concern flooded back into her pretty face. “You found her? And the person who took her?”

“Yes, with Master Savarin’s help.” He’d gotten over any resentment he might have had that he needed the help of magic long before today and was happy to use any tool he had access to. Savarin, the most powerful sorcerer in Tournai, was not someone whose help should be turned away, and Savarin never withheld it, serving Tournai whenever he was called upon.

“The sorcerer? How did he help?” Joceline sat forward, a gleam in her eyes he recognized well. She wasn’t simply curious; she wanted to know because she might use the information in a story.

“Joceline.”

“What?”

He sighed and shook his head. “He used his magic to try to track the kidnappers and then to try to find the baby directly. He pointed us in the right direction, let us know where to search for them.” Loriot didn’t bother mentioning the help they’d received from someone else, a scholar at the university. If he read Savarin right, Savarin would be finding Master Corentin at the university soon and asking him about the magic he used, because it also sounded as if Savarin hadn’t heard of anything like it.

“Interesting."

For September, I'm sharing snippets from The Sorcerer's Guardian, which rereleased four years ago this month. The Sorcerer's Guardian is the fourth book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, but it can be read as a standalone. It's the story of an arrogant, powerful sorcerer and a loyal guard captain sent on a potentially dangerous and certainly arduous mission for the crown.
