The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend (I'll beg forgiveness in advance for sometimes going over the sentence limit!). 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 switching over to snippets from A Dance of Water and Air, the first book in my Elemental Magicae series. In Dance, Edmund is a prince who must make an alliance marriage with the queen of a neighboring country, but when he arrives there, he finds the queen distant and something very wrong. He begins to grow closer to the queen's brother, Prince Arden...and begins to fall for him. Then Edmund is accused of trying to murder the queen, and he and Arden flee, to save Edmund's life and give them time to figure out what's threatening both of their countries. Dance has trans bisexual and cis demisexual main characters, and though Edmund and Arden are left in a good place, the story continues in A Harmony of Fire and Earth. I'm jumping into these snippets after Edmund has been accused and thrown in a cell in the dungeon with his secretary and personal guard. This snippet follows directly after last week's.
The thought of Arden made him ache in ways he didn’t want to think about. Couldn’t think about at the moment.
“Why did they do this? They said they’d let us wait down here for a while before someone came to question us, but…”
Peregrine shook his head. “I heard something about us not doing anything more to their queen, but I don’t know what that means.”
“Something happened to Hollis? I wonder if she’s all right.”
“I wonder what happened, and why they thought we had something to do with it.”
“Both excellent questions.”
