Rainbow Snippets, January 5 – 6, 2019
In the Rainbow Snippets Facebook group, readers, writers, and bloggers share short (six sentences) snippets of their LGBTQIA+ fiction or book recs each weekend. In the first snippet of the new year, we’re looking forward (or in some cases, back).
In this snippet from Nudging Fate, Andy, a half-norn event planner who has been strictly forbidden by Asgard from meddling with peoples’ destinies, is certain that his unexpected (and unwilling) masquerade as a candidate for the hand of Reyner of Maidencourt, the One True Prince of Faerie, will put him in Odin’s crosshairs for sure. That’s provided other revenants from history don’t get him first!
(BTW, Nudging Fate is the first in my Enchanted Occasions series with Dreamspinner Press. Book two, Devouring Flame, releases on Tuesday!)
“If it seems like the prince prefers me to any of the other candidates”—And really, how likely was that?—“do you think anyone will believe that I didn’t nudge Fate to make it happen?” Andy slumped in his chair. “I mean, how likely is it that all candidates were incapacitated at once?”
“That was Johan. And Talus.” Brooke tapped her lip with one silver fingernail. “I have to admit, I like the way Talus handled that.”
Andy shuddered. “You need to read The Faerie Queene. You won’t be so eager to see him revert back to that type.”
“Blood? Gore? Death and untold destruction?”
“Pretty much.”
She grinned, baring her extra-pointy incisors. “Sounds like my kind of party.”
Happy New Year! And don’t forget to check out Rainbow Snippets to see what other authors have to offer!
Sounds like some interesting people in this book!
*eyes my ever-growing TBR pile, sighs, and tosses another one onto it, holding my breath as the pile shifts and bit and letting out a sigh of relief when there is no avalanche.*
Oh, but you can *never* have enough books! (And ebooks mean that the avalanche is only virtual ;-))
Sounds like she throws a wild party! ❤️
She justifies it because it’s her job! (She does work for an event planning company, after all. :-D)
Intriguing exchange!
Thank you! 🙂
Heh, Brooke sounds like fun! ;P
Well *she* certainly thinks so–although Andy isn’t crazy about some of her more, er, creative problem-solving ideas!
Brooke sounds interesting!
She has her moments!
Okay I really like Brooke!
So do I. She makes a great foil–never unwilling to speak her mind or get the job done, whatever it takes.
