​The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend (I'll beg forgiveness in advance for sometimes going over the sentence limit!). 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.

Last weekend I shared a snippet from The Envoy's Honor because it had been out in the world five years last Sunday, and I thought I would share another today. This book is the eighth book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, though it stands alone just fine (it also pairs well with The Dragon's Devotion, the other dragon shifter book in the Tournai series, since Bastien from that book is the brother of Griffen from The Envoy's Honor). The Envoy's Honor is an adversaries to lovers romance—Griffen and Kirill are put at odds in diplomatic negotiations, one trying to protect his family, the other his people. But when someone is murdered, they can only trust each other to find the killer (because they were kissing each other in the garden when it happened, so they know they didn't do it!) and they may save everyone they care about in the process. This snippet follows directly after last weekend's.

The Envoy's Honor has been out in the world five years this weekend, so it only seemed appropriate that I share a snippet from it to celebrate the occasion. This book is the eighth book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, though it stands alone just fine (it also pairs well with The Dragon's Devotion, the other dragon shifter book in the Tournai series, since Bastien from that book is the brother of Griffen from The Envoy's Honor).

Here's a snippet leading into that kissing:

​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.

Happy Ace Week! I'm going to share some book recs for Ace Week in a separate post, but I wanted to do a quick post letting you know about my books with ace spec main (and supporting) characters. While I don't use the words demisexual, asexual, etc on page because these are fantasy worlds, the main characters' orientations are explained on page. With supporting characters, it isn't always as clear but I've explained what to expect with them below.

​This month, I decided to share some snippets from The Envoy's Honor because it came out three years ago this month. The Envoy's Honor is an adversaries to lovers dragon shifter romance in my Chronicles of Tournai series. Dragon shifter Kirill is an envoy sent with a delegation to Tournai to ensure that his people and their secret (about being dragon shifters) are safe, and Griffen is a diplomat trying to prove his worth and protect his family. From the beginning, they clash and have moments of connection, all with attraction simmering beneath. But there's a lot more going on that they're unaware of at first, and when someone is murdered, they decide to investigate together (because they know they didn't do it...because they were arguing and kissing in the garden at the time...). Today, I'm sharing a snippet of Griffen and Kirill's first kiss. They've been arguing, and Griffen is trying to convince Kirill to trust him and work with him. It turns out differently than he intended...

Today's snippet is an encounter between Griffen and Kirill after one of the disastrous meetings between Tournai's representatives and Ivria's, led by Ederic. (I know it's way too long—I'm sorry! I thought it was necessary for this one.)

This month, I decided to share some snippets from The Envoy's Honor because it has an anniversary coming up soon. The Envoy's Honor is an adversaries to lovers dragon shifter romance in my Chronicles of Tournai series. Dragon shifter Kirill is an envoy sent with a delegation to Tournai to ensure that his people and their secret (about being dragon shifters) are safe, and Griffen is a diplomat trying to prove his worth and protect his family.

But there's a lot more going on that they're unaware of at first, and when someone is murdered, they decide to investigate together (because they know they didn't do it...because they were arguing and kissing in the garden at the time...). This is a snippet in Kirill's point of view from after the dragon shifter delegation meets with Griffen and a couple of others from Tournai (Ederic is the leader of the dragon shifter delegation). Also, if you've read To Love the Dragon King, you probably recognize Kirill and Romilly, though you don't have to read either book to understand the other.
