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, I decided to share a snippet from A Dance of Water and Air, both because it's been on my mind since I got to visit the chateau used on the cover when I was in France earlier this month (I shared photos here) and because I have autumn on my mind (I've already started the autumn baking!) and this book is set from fall into winter.

This was to be his home? For how long? Forever? Could he stay here, so far from everything he loved, indefinitely?
