Rainbow Snippet May 12-13

5/12/2018

8 Comments

 
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+.

Today's snippet is from The Artist's Masquerade. Cathal has just found out that Flavian has been disguising himself as Lady Flavia, and he wants to know why and if Flavian is a danger to Tournai. (I went a little over six sentences this week—sorry!)

​Flavian was still watching him, but he glanced past Cathal too, toward the door. “I thought the guards were going to come drag me away.”

He realized that Flavian always spoke in a low whisper, probably to disguise that his voice wasn’t feminine, only now that he didn’t. The
difference was disconcerting. Everything about it was disconcerting.

“I thought I’d wait on that for a little while. Until I know more.” Cathal stepped farther into the room. “You say you haven’t done anything
wrong. You’re going to prove it to me.”

“And how am I going to do that?”

Cathal held up the small vial filled with vivid blue liquid. “This is
a truth potion. You’re going to drink it, and you’re going to answer my questions.”

“Am I?” Flavian snapped and folded his arms across his chest. “Why would I agree to that?” 


​

If you'd like to know more about The Artist's Masquerade, you can find it here. The Artist's Masquerade and my other DSP titles are 35% off this weekend. It's a great time to give one a try! Thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend!

I'll be interested to hear his answers, if he indeed agrees to take the potion :)

Uh-oh! Flavian is pretty much cornered. ♡

Whatever makes him think that a person in disguise could possibly be a danger? ;-)

Loved the tension, especially in those last two exchanges
