\"\"<\/a>Hello all, it is the weekend and time for another #rainbowsnippet. This week my kids went back to school, and I’m knee-deep in new projects, or as I like to think of it playing with my imaginary friends. My next Rowan House novel Complex Dimensions releases in a few weeks, so this week’s snip is a bit of Veronica and Millie. Enjoy.<\/span>
\nFrom Complex Dimensions:<\/span>
\n“Do you fancy a snack? Robin packed us some biscuits and sandwiches.”<\/span>
\nVeronica smiled at Millie. “Not hungry”\u2014she trailed her fingers down Millie’s arm leaving tiny raised hairs in their wake\u2014”for cookies.”<\/span>
\nMillie closed the flap on her saddle pack. “No?”<\/span>
\nVeronica passed the water bottle back to Millie. “Nope.”<\/span>
\nMillie stowed the water bottle in the pack. “Sandwich, then?”<\/span>
\n“Not hungry for anything but you.” Veronica tugged her hand and pulled her into a kiss, loving the way Millie relaxed into her.<\/span>
\nMillie’s hands rested on Veronica’s waist, her thumbs rubbing in small circles over Veronica’s hipbones. “And after Robin spent so long making us lunch.”<\/span>
\n“Later.” Veronica had wrapped one arm around Millie’s broad shoulders, and with her other\u00a0<\/span>hand\u00a0she played with the soft brush of hair on the back of her head.<\/span><\/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
