Welcome to Rainbow Snippets! Enjoy snippets from a cool group of writers and bloggers. You might find historical fiction, YA, something sweet or something spicy, but the common thread is that all main characters will identify as LGBTQIA+

Still working on final edits for Mirror Maze, a new short story coming soon from NineStar Press. Today, the plot thickens…

Jules put a finger under his chin and tilted his head up, and Cory caught a glimpse of gleaming green eyes before Jules’s hot mouth captured his, his kiss drugging, overwhelming. Wait! Cory reluctantly put a hand between them and nudged him back.

“I have an early class and you have to get your ass to work—”

“Fine,” Jules huffed. He darted a hand around Cory and plucked up the newspaper. Cory watched his face as he read the headline article, saw him flinch, but then a cool mask fell in place, his thick lashes hiding his expressive eyes. After a moment Jules tossed the paper on the counter. “I see your boyfriend found the body,” he observed sourly.

MIRROR MAZE

For Jules, the carnival is life, the other carnies his family, friends, lovers. He can’t think of anywhere else he’d rather be. But the carnival has a secret, that if found out, could bring an end to their ideal existence. What with falling in love with a local man, and a detective dogging their heels about the body found on the hill above the fairgrounds, his perfect life just might be changing, and he has no idea if it is for the better.
