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 snippets from The Prince's Consort in March, since this is the month the book was rereleased four years ago. The Prince's Consort was my first published book, which means I look at things sometimes I think that I would've written them differently. But I still love the story and the characters. It's a prince/commoner romance between Amory, whose horrible merchant father basically tries to trade him to the prince for more favorable treatment and business, and Philip, the crown prince of Tournai who absolutely agrees that Amory's father is horrible. He also has some very big secrets. I'm following on directly from last week's snippet.

“Your Highness, the chandelier is a complex design and, as such, will take much delicate, time-consuming work to finish.”
“A design you submitted to me and assured me could be completed on the timetable you set.” Philip focused on Arnau as he spoke but kept watch on Amory out of the corner of his eye.
“The men who work for me are artists who produce the finest glass in the world, Your Highness. A product of quality takes time.”
Amory’s eyes went wide and his mouth dropped open slightly at his father’s words, though he immediately tried to hide his surprise and disbelief. Interesting.
“I am aware of what a product of quality takes, Master Arnau. I am also aware of the quality of your workers. None of which tells me why you and your craftsmen were unable to meet a delivery date you set.” Philip held up a hand to forestall whatever excuses were going to come forth. “As you were aware when I gave you this commission, the chandelier is a gift for the king and queen of Amaranta on the birth of their first child. For the honor of Tournai and for our continued good relationship with a neighboring kingdom, the gift I commissioned from you, which I trusted you and your craftsman to complete on time, must be delivered to them before their child reaches adulthood.”
