Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers 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.
Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.

Ah, these snippets keep tempting me to go back and reread the first edition, but I’m trying to hold strong against the urge, and wait for the new version. Meanwhile, I loved ‘As the World Crumbled’! ❤️
