Rainbow Snippets* -- Delicious is up for Pre-Order

Like so much of the US, we're still stuck in the deep freeze. The almost foot of snow we got last weekend is still on the ground since the highs have barely gotten to the teens and the sun has hidden more than shown. But January is done, so we're one more month closer to spring!

Delicious is up for pre-order! It's a quick-read, low-heat novella that was supposed to be part of a multi-author series that didn't happen. But after putting so much time into imagining the characters and writing the first half, I didn't want to drop it. And I'm happy with it. (That's the thing, isn't it? We, the authors, should like our stories, I think.)

Grady, wanting to move away from the city, buys an old house, site unseen, and hires a contractor to make it livable. Although he's spoken with Hanson over the phone numerous times, this is their first time meeting in person. Told from Grady's POV:

“Oh, my,” I said under my breath. That sunbeam from earlier landed on the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen. Either that, or he was so angelic he glowed on his own. Broad shoulders, a little swagger as he walked, and a thick head of hair. He was the perfect model of a Disney Prince, if a Disney Prince wore a T-shirt tucked into skin-tight jeans. This had to be the contractor I’d hired, and I bit my tongue to keep it from hanging out of my mouth. Over the last two months, I’d questioned myself a hundred times about making this move, but it was looking better and better with every passing minute.

Rainbow Snippets--Blind Ante

Image
I've starting to feel like Blind Ante and Cut Shot are never getting published. Always, there is something else that has a higher priority. I'm working on a novella at the moment for a project at the end of the year. Since it's a group project, it's front and center. And since I'm a slow writer, it'll probably take me all summer to finish the first draft. I need life to slow down! In this snippet from Blind Ante , Jordan has come into the bar where Reese works. He's not usually much of a drinker, but on this one night, there is something obviously bothering him. After a couple of shots and a beer, he starts singing. The little ditty has significance later in the story. Do you recognize it? Reese went back to work, tossing bottles and flirting, but he kept an eye on Jordan as he sat with his jaw resting on his palm. He was staring off into space, his mind floating somewhere far away.  Jordan began to sing, so low Reese could barely hear. “Pete and Repeat, si...

Rainbow Snippets*-- More from Delicious

Image
It's 4th of July weekend here in the US. I used to really like it, back when I was younger. We'd have a cook-out with friends, or go camping, then in the evening go watch fireworks. But also, back then, fireworks without a license were illegal in my state, and in my town. It's not now. And , it's not just one night of my neighbors setting off bang after bang late into the night. No, it's a week of it. It's a week of little sleep, since my jobs usually require being up by 5 am. I'm too old for this! I need my sleep.     The sun breaking through the trees during a recent walk at the local Nature Center.  This week's Snippet comes from my current WIP, Delicious . I'm slowly making headway on this novella, having gone past the halfway mark. Hanson is the contractor Grady hired to refurbish the old house he'd bought, sight unseen. They spoke on the phone, but didn't meet until the work was almost done. This snippet is from Hanson's POV: The gu...

Rainbow Snippets*--The Good and the Bad

Image
It was a rough week. My phone died, along with my oven. On the upside, I finished the first draft of Delicious ! (If you're interested in being a beta reader, check out my previous post.) It was supposed to be part of a series of fairy tale retellings, but I think we're just publishing on our own. I ended up with Hansel and Gretel, which was a challenge. How to retell a tale about sibling children without crossing a few lines? That's not my style. So, it's not really a retelling so much as "and then this happened" story. I never can stay within the set parameters!   There are strange noises in Grady's new house, but one night it becomes too much, and he shows up at Hanson's, still in his pajamas. Turns out, it was a refrigerator fan gone bad. (Or was it?!) Hanson fixes it and then teases Grady. Grady teases back. Told from Grady's POV:    “I’ll see you Monday,” Hanson said at the doorway. “Unless your ghost chases you into my bed again before then....
