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 sharing another snowy snippet because I'm still in a wintry mood, though I'm mostly just cold and thinking the remains of the snow look kind of sad while my characters have a bit more wonder about the whole thing. I picked a snippet from The Merchant's Love this week. It doesn't snow very often in Tournai, so Faelen and Maxen are enchanted by it (and each other).

I'm sharing another snowy snippet because I'm still in a wintry mood, though I'm mostly just cold and thinking the remains of the snow look kind of sad while my characters have a bit more wonder about the whole thing. I picked a snippet from The Merchant's Love this week. It doesn't snow very often in Tournai, so Faelen and Maxen are enchanted by it (and each other).
When they stepped out onto the street after their meal, Faelen’s breath caught in his throat, and he stopped dead just outside the door, looking up in wonder. Maxen walked right into him, knocking them off-balance. He caught Faelen by the waist to steady them as they both wobbled.
“Sorry!”
“No, it’s my fault,” Faelen said, covering Maxen’s hand with his own. “But look. It’s snowing.”
It was little more than flurries, but there was something magical about them nonetheless. The tiny flakes danced in the air, glistening in the glow of the streetlights. Faelen turned his face up to them and laughed as another little bubble of joy burst inside him.
“I guess you were right,” Maxen whispered. His arms were still around Faelen, holding him back against his chest. Faelen made a little noise of contentment and snuggled into Maxen’s solid warmth. Despite the chilly night, he could’ve stayed right there until morning, just him and Maxen and the snow flurries.
