<\/a>Hello Snippeteers,<\/p>\nIt has been a freaky week here with crazy cold weather. I\u2019ve never appreciated my fireplace more. This week\u2019s snip is from Complex Dimensions, the fourth book in the Rowan House Series contracted to NineStar Press scheduled for release 2019.<\/p>\n
From Complex Dimensions<\/p>\n
The small hairs on Veronica’s arms stood up, and she sensed someone staring at her. She looked up, and into the darkest brown eyes, she had ever seen. The woman’s hair was slicked back, tight against her head, the smile on her face predatory. She rested her hand on her narrow waist, her large breasts marginally contained by the dark green corset she wore. \u201cI’m Ashley.\u201d The latecomer sat down next to Millie and pushed Myfanwy’s place setting to the side.<\/p>\n
Oblivious to Millie’s sharp look, she kept her gaze fixed on Veronica’s face as she extended her hand. Her blood red nail polish matched the lipstick she was wearing. She licked her lower lip before she spoke. \u201cWelcome. Has anyone given you a tour of the house?\u201d<\/p>\n
Veronica reached across the table and shook her hand briefly. \u201cNo. I…\u201d<\/p>\n
Millie’s spoke over Veronica, her voice hard-edged and direct. \u201cShe’s just arrived. And if she’s interested in a tour, I’ll assign someone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Roxie cleared her throat loudly. \u201cStay in your lane Ashley. As for tours,\u201d Roxie’s eyes held a challenge, her tone icy, \u201cyou’ll have to get in line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rainbow Snippets(\u00a0https:\/\/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’ll 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 <\/p>\n Brenda Murphy writes short fiction and novels.
