Rainbow Snippets* — Adios October!

And just like that, another month is gone. October completely flew by, barely leaving me time to breathe. This weekend was my final Farmer's Market of 2026, and it was a huge success. The last weekend is always Halloween week, but this is the first time since I joined it was the same day. Many of the vendors decorated their booths and wore costumes, and we passed out candy to the kids. Not only did most of the kids come dressed up, but many of their parents did, also. We had very mild weather, which I think helped bring out the crowd. It was very busy, very festive, and very fun. Even though I have a few events scheduled in the next two months, I'm hoping to use my extra time to get more writing done. I'm only about 15K into my current WIP, and I would love to finish it by the end of the year. (Not likely, but I can dream!)



Since it's Halloween weekend, this week's snippet is from Delicious. Grady has a ghost in his house, but Hanson has insisted there's no such thing. He's going to change his mind soon! Told from Grady's POV:  


I didn’t turn around when Hanson came back in. “Did Fluff find you?”
“Yeah.We need to run her home soon.” 
“Sure.” I was done with the dishes and was wiping down the counter when Hanson poked me in the side. “Stop that,” I mumbled as I stepped aside, but he did it again. It wasn’t gentle, like before. “Hanson, I said stop it. It’s not funny!”
“Stop what?” I twisted around. Hanson was on the other side of the room, fiddling with the controls on the fireplace. “I want to make sure I fixed it.”
“Wha… That was weird. I would have sworn…”

Rainbow Snippets* --Happy New Year!

Image
2018. What can I say? I'm at that age where one asks "Where has the time gone?" but at the same time, in so many ways, this year has seemed endless. My goal for 2018 had been to start publishing and I did manage to have one short story published, so I met that goal; just maybe not in the way I meant. Therefore, my goal for 2019 is to get brave, make concrete decisions, and publish at least one of my books! That's as far as my resolutions go. (after all, who likes a skinny, sober bitch anyway?!)  My snippet this week comes from one of my first manuscripts, When Silverfish Dance . It's not a romance so much as a Suspense with Romantic elements. In other words, it ends with a HFN instead of a HEA. Although, if I ever manage to write the sequel...! It's New Year's Eve, 1973, and the two main characters, Morgan and Barry, are pretending to be a couple. Sometimes the lines blur: Barry looked up at him with a small smile and said, “Look, it’s almo...

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*–Happy Spring!

Image
Spring has sprung! (Again. I think I said that a couple of weeks ago--before we got more cold weather and snow flurries.) It looks like it might dip again for a couple of nights next week, but I'm going to enjoy this first official weekend of spring. Shoes off and lawn chair ready for some afternoon reading! This week's snippet is from Blind Ante , the first book in my Bar Games series. Jordan is homeless. He makes a living playing poker. It keeps him alive, but he's tired. Jordan is about to leave the game when a guy throws a deed on the table. One more hand, and he leaves with the deed in his pocket. This is the first time we meet Roger, albeit briefly. He'll show up again later—and then get his own book!  “ Illinois ,” [Jordan] said aloud to the purple-flocked cow sitting on his dashboard. He studied the deed to the 5 acres he now owned. At least there was another state between it and Kansas . The man mentioned a trailer on the property–that was the true jackpot , i...
