Quick Update

I finished my editing rounds of Embers and Flame, now to write the synopsis and query and send it out. I'm really divided right now about if I really want to do that, or just settle on self-publishing and skip putting myself through the querying angst. I have so many projects bubbling around in my head and I'm not sure what I want to start on next. Logically, I started the Headphones rewrite and I should dedicate myself to finishing it, but I see that taking at least four months, and I really want to start on Cut Shot, Jeb and Ian's story. I may try to work on both at the same time--at least get Cut Shot started, and then focus on it as my CampNano project. Anyway, that's where I am at the moment, so time to take a deep breath and move forward!

Rainbow Snippets*—Time for a Break

Image
I knew this summer was going to be a challenge, and I wasn't wrong. I've had too many irons in the fire and it's felt like everything has gone a little sideways. No major disasters, but enough to feel like it's two steps forward, a step-and-a-half back. I got home from the Rainbow Readers Cruise last weekend—which was wonderful, by the way—but as per the new normal, I tested positive for Covid. I'm supposed to head to Kansas Wednesday for GRL, so fingers crossed I'm testing negative by then. I'd consider canceling now if I wasn't going as an author, but I decided to take the plunge and "just do it" this year. I have swag and books and preorders. Everyone, send me your good vibes!  Rooster in Key West. It was too hot to do much exploring, but we walked around the market area for a bit.  Posting the opening of Fang for Everything  today. I probably have before, but it's a book I'll have available for sale at GRL, so I'm featuring it a...

Rainbow Snippets*--Breathe

Image
I don't have words for this last week. So I'm just going to leave it at that. I did go spend the night with my daughter and her partner over the weekend (they live 3 hours away). Sometimes you just need your family.  This weekend's snippet comes from Like Cracks in the Sidewalk . It's 1995. James and Val are taking a walk during the early days of their relationship. Told from James' POV: Val's face was smooth, relaxed. I’d not noticed how tense he normally was until he wasn’t. How had I missed that? I ran my thumb across his cheek-bone, forgetting where we were, and tilted my head as I leaned down to kiss him. He parted his lips without any hesitation, drawing me in, and it was sweeter than any kiss in all of history. The birds chirped their song over our head and the wind rustled the leaves, and yet, the only sound I heard was the small moan Val made at the back of his throat as he pressed against me. Every second was magnified and expanded, wrapping us in a bu...

Rainbow Snippets*— Bisexual Awareness Month Featuring Fangs for Everything

Image
It's Bisexual Awareness month, and to celebrate I'm going to snip from my books with bisexual characters. I should have started at the first of the month, but there was traveling, accompanied by Covid. 1 star. I do not recommend! Hopefully, my life is going to become more routine once again.  Snipping from Fangs for Everything Young Rollie doesn't know that Alex is a vampire, and as things heat up, Alex is "explaining" some medical conditions that affect him sexually, as it's their first time being intimate. But Rollie misunderstands and things almost end before they begin. Told from Alex's POV:     “ Y ou’ve done this before, right?” [Rollie asked.] Again, there was that embarrassed flush.  “Had sex? It’s been a while, but I had a girlfriend when I was younger. So, yes?” And that wasn’t a lie, or even the truth stretched.  Rollie stiffened. “Wait! I thought…” He frowned, his thick eyebrows drawing together, and there was an edge o...
