Rainbow Snippets - 17/18 Feb



Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook Group that invites authors to post 6 sentences of their work each weekend. It can be from anything you like, your current WIP, a recent release, the golden oldie that even you had forgotten you had written, or just a scrap of an idea (as long as it has 6 coherent sentences). Nothing of your own work worth mentioning? How about a 6 sentence review of your favourite LGBTQ+ story.

Have a couple of lines from my WIP.
More World War Two submarines anyone?

A strong wind blew in from the south, slamming waves into the harbour wall and sending jets of water spraying into the air. The fine mist dampened Zach’s skin as he continued staring out to sea. He’d barely moved in the last half hour and to any onlookers it would appear as if he carried out a lonely vigil. Not that there was anyone to see, not on a chilly evening such as this. The Brits he’d come across so far were a hardy breed, but even they would be curled up in front of the fire by now with a warming mug of tea.
The wind changed direction unexpectedly, whipping Zach’s blond hair back across his forehead.



Even though the book isn't ready and I have no cover and only a draft blurb, I've created a Goodreads entry, because one way or another this book will be released this year, and this should spur me on (especially if people actually add the book to their 'want to read' shelf).

Add it to your Goodreads bookshelf here.
