Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, bloggers, and readers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!). Check out all the other awesome snippets by clicking on the picture above.
Still posting from that “Steampunk Thing.” The first draft isn’t done yet and I’m hoping that this will keep me motivated to keep at it.
This picks up from last week.
I turned toward the house, feeling a bit uncertain, but saw Miss Madison waiting for me, much to the other woman’s impatience, so I made my way to them and was ushered into a warm outer kitchen, where the other woman – Anne – was helping Miss Madison out of her cape.
“Mr. McKelvy, I’d like you to meet Anne, the woman who insists on trying to make a lady out of me. Anne, this is Daniel McKelvy. I’ve just hired him to help me in the warehouse.”
“I’m pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. McKelvy.”
“The pleasure is mine, Miss.” She was older than I’d expected, forties or early fifties I’d wager, and there was something matronly about her.
Novel Notes 
Interesting energy these characters have between them…
I’m really enjoying these snippets.
Such fun dialogue here.
