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.

“Do you have anyone you want or need to contact, friends or family or anyone, to let them know that you are alive and well and free?”

“We must be as confusing to you as you are to us.” She smiled. “Thank you for answering the question that I didn’t ask.”
“Why didn’t you ask?”
