Rainbow Snippet November 24-25

11/24/2018

2 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+.

I'm working on edits for A Harmony of Fire and Earth, the second book in the Elemental Magicae duology after A Dance of Water and Air, and I thought I would share a snippet from that with you today. Then I had to find one that didn't have lots of spoilers for Dance! This snippet introduces some new characters to you (and I went over the sentence limit again! Sorry!).
Picture

​Rhys unwound his scarf as he greeted the tavern owner, smiling and laughing at his greeting. He and his sister had been stopping in this tavern every time they were in Alizarin for years, and their work brought them there often, at least to pass through. The inn they preferred was next door, and the food and drink were always good and reasonably priced here. But there was another reason Rhys liked this particular tavern.


He wished he could say he hadn’t looked as soon as he stepped through the door, but of course he had.

Briallen took his arm and drew him over to a table. She seated herself before he could get to her chair, which was certainly her intention; she also left him the side of the table with the better view of the room—also intentional, if he knew his sister. He gave her a wry look, but she only smiled in return.

“He’s here.”

​
“I’m aware.” Rhys could do nothing but admit it—Briallen would know he lied if he said he hadn’t seen Gaz seated in the corner.

A Harmony of Fire and Earth should be out from NineStar Press in March 2019, which gives you lots of time for the first book in the series, A Dance of Water and Air. If you haven't read it yet, or you need to catch up on any of my books, they're all on sale this weekend! Find them at Dreamspinner and NineStar. Thanks for reading!

Oh nice! I wonder if Gaz knows how Rhys feels, and if the feeling is returned?

He's here.

I know.

So much said in so few words. Gaz must be unable to avoid.
