Hello, Snippet fans! I am sorry I have been absent these last few weeks, I have been up to my elbows in home improvement projects, and preparing for a podcast interview over at WROTE.<\/a> I had a fabulous time talking with them about handling distractions and writing. Check it out here.<\/a> Today’s snip comes for my next release slated for September. I love the cover art by the fantastic Natasha Snow and NineStar press.<\/p>\n

From Knotted Legacy: Twenty women stood before Martha in the main ballroom. She looked at each of their faces, favoring some of them with a smile. \u201cI will be gone for two weeks. The house is closed to guests. You are all free to go or stay. Those of you who choose to go on holiday, please leave a copy of your plans with Millie. If anyone has any trouble while traveling, please call the main landline.\u201d She inclined her head toward Elaine. \u201cCook is in charge while I am away.\u201d She didn\u2019t miss the small murmurs and one loud groan from someone in the crowd, or Elaine\u2019s expression of satisfaction. She would never understand her sister\u2019s desire to be the most feared Dominatrix in the house.<\/p>\n

Elaine squared her shoulders and focused her gaze on one of the submissives. \u201cYou have something to say?\u201d Roxy had been with them from the start and she never tired of pushing Elaine\u2019s buttons. \u201cOh no, Mistress. Nothing to say.\u201d She rested her hand on her hip and rocked back on her heels and dared to meet her Mistress\u2019s gaze. \u201cHere.\u201d Elaine\u2019s voice took on a warm tone. \u201cLater then.\u201d She licked her lower lip and smiled a tight smile at Roxy.<\/p>\n

Rainbow Snippets( https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/RainbowSnippets\/<\/a>)is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction\u2013a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).<\/p>\n

In this group you\u2019ll find anything from romance and historical fiction to mystery and YA. The common thread is that every story\u2019s main character identifies as LGBTQ+. The snippets could range from zero flames to full-on sexytimes, anything goes content-wise. The only rule is snippets will be 6 sentences long\u2013one for each color in the Pride flag.<\/p>\n
