I’m deep in the editing process forΒ Lies and Deception so thought I’d share another little snippet from the story.Β Lies and Deception will be released by Dreamspinner Press in June/July 2018. Rocky is the president of an outlaw motorcycle club. Mitch is an undercover cop.

The first drag was bliss, sending a hit of nicotine through his bloodstream. No guilt this time; he needed that goddamn cigarette.
Rocky snapped the lighter shut. βYou did good the other night.β
βYeah?β
βDealing with the cops, taking the shit. Things could have gone to fuck, but they didnβt. I appreciate it, man.β
Mitch inhaled another lungful of smoke, holding it before letting it out in a long, thin stream. He already felt a lot calmer, more in control. βDidnβt do anything you wouldnβt have done. Didnβt want to fuck up the operation and bring down any more heat on the Soldiers than there already is.β

Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction β a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.Β In the group youβll find anything from romance and historical fiction to mystery and YA. The common thread is that every storyβs 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 longβone for each color in the Pride flag.

Ah…sounds like Mitch is walking a fine line. No wonder he needs the nicotine hit! <3
Great sensory description…I almost feel like I’m right there in his head, breathing in the smoke.
So much meaning in Mitch’s ccomment…
Nothing relieves stress like a cigarette, I’m guessin’! π
It’s been twenty years since I smoked but I still remember π
Very sensory on that need for a smoke.
Great description.
