Rainbow Snippet February 29-March 1

​
​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+

This week, I have a snippet from The Prince's Consort for you. The Prince's Consort was my first published novel, which I requested and received my rights back to from Dreamspinner in the fall. It will be back out in the world through NineStar Press on March 16th with a gorgeous new cover. I'm so excited for it to finally be available again!

Uncle Umber, his father’s brother, had become a source of counsel and support when his father died. But Father had been gone over a year, and Uncle Umber needed to let Philip be the ruler of Tournai.
