It's weekend, and time for more Rainbow Snippets. 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+.
To start February, I thought I would share a snippet from A Harmony of Fire and Earth, which will be out next month. This is the sequel to A Dance of Water and Air, and I'm trying not to pick snippets with spoilers. Here's a snippet of conversation between Rhys and Gaz that takes place the same night as the last snippet I shared from Harmony (and it's a bit over the sentence limit, but I thought it was necessary—sorry!).

After they finished eating, Rhys and Gaz bundled up against the cold night and left Briallen and Meraud chatting and finishing the wine. Gaz needed to retrieve his and Meraud’s horses from the stables. Rhys went along to check on his and Briallen’s and make sure they’d been made comfortable for the night. He could admit to himself it was just an excuse to spend a few more moments with Gaz. If the others knew, they kindly didn’t mention it.
“So we probably won’t be seeing you for a while, then,” Gaz said after a few moments. They were strolling, despite the chill. Rhys didn’t envy his friends their ride home in the dark. “Since you want to get home before the worst of winter sets in.”
“We don’t really want to have to travel then, so probably not.” As much as he regretted it. There was nothing to say they couldn’t travel, but Aither’s winters meant a lot of snow, even here in the foothills, and it wasn’t pleasant to try to get through it, even though he wanted to see his friends. “It’s best for us to go directly home from this last job.”
“And you miss your greenhouses.” Gaz was smiling when he said it, the look almost fond.

I'll have more for you about A Harmony of Fire and Earth soon. If you haven't read A Dance of Water and Air, you still have time before Harmony comes out. Find more info about it here. Thanks for reading!
