Happy New Year — to friends, family, readers, Snippetteers, and you random folks who trip over my blog in the course of Google searches for “hot male-on-male tree action”! (Don’t worry, I don’t judge…) This week’s Snippet is from FIRESTORM, book four of the SoulShares; next week will be BLOWING SMOKE (SoulShares #5), and with any luck at all, by the week after that, MANTLED IN MIST will be out and you’ll be getting one of the first peeks!

Had to go with seven sentences for this one — I hope you’ll forgive me! (The first speaker is Cuinn, who has spent the first three books being the quintessential bad boy, but is now trying to come to grips with the fact that he’s found his SoulShare — who’s a harder case than Cuinn ever dreamed of being.

“You don’t need wonder?”

Rian started to shake his head, but was stopped, dead, by a kiss. Not one like last night’s, not the first move of a duel. A gentle, lips-parted kiss, an exchange of breath. Closed eyes, the soft touch of a tongue. A shiver, arrowing down his spine.

“You’re so fucking wrong,” Cuinn whispered, before taking Rian’s mouth for fair.

Rainbow Snippets, December 26 — DEEP PLUNGE (SoulShares #3)

Hello, Snippetteers! — as I’ve mentioned before, I have a book coming out in mid-January, MANTLED IN MIST, the sixth book in the SoulShares series. So by way of leading up to that, I’m featuring a snippet from each of the other books in the series — this week is week three, which means six sentences from DEEP PLUNGE. DEEP PLUNGE is the story of Lochlann Doran, the oldest Fae in the human world (or pretty much anywhere else, for that matter) and his SoulShare, Garrett Lee Templar, the hottest pole dancer at Purgatory. In this snippet, the two of them have just partially completed their SoulShare bond, and he’s discovering what happens when two SoulShares make love.

********

He felt Lochlann’s laughter as well as heard it, and the sound brought him right back to the one thing that let him think maybe he wasn’t dealing with a head case. The sensation that gripped him when Lochlann came. He could have sworn he heard laughter, except that Lochlann had been totally silent and he himself had been fighting to keep back moans like he only gave up when he was the one being brought off. Laughter; pure, delighted, full-throated laughter. And for an instant, he’d felt a joy so intense his mind couldn’t hold on to it. He was sure in that moment, he’d been happier than he’d ever been in his life, but he couldn’t remember what it had felt like.

Rainbow Snippets, December 19 — GALE FORCE (SoulShares #2)

RS2

As part of the run-up to the release of MANTLED IN MIST (SoulShares #6) in January, each of my weekly snippets until then is coming from a different SoulShares book. This week, we’re on number two. GALE FORCE is the story of Conall Dary, the most powerful Fae mage born in the last two thousand or so years, and Josh LaFontaine, the owner of Raging Art-On Tattoo and Piercing Parlor, up the stairs from Purgatory. (Josh and Conall, incidentally, are in the running for Best Established Couple in this year’s Goodreads M/M Romance Group Member’s Choice Awards!) In this Snippet, Josh and Conall are discovering that they can communicate in their dreams. (Sorry, it’s seven sentences, but I couldn’t really lop off either end…)

*******

“Damn.” The word was half a groan. “The dreams are good — hell, the dreams are amazing, I had a dream after the shower that was almost as hot as the shower — but it’s not the same as having you, it can’t be.” The sound of flesh on flesh, a stroking hand, carried clearly through the mist.

“I wish we could have finished the dream,” Conall murmured. “I wanted to feel you inside me. I still do.”

*******

If you’re intrigued, all the SoulShares are 30 percent off on the Riverdale Avenue Books Web site through January 2, with the code SECRETSANTA30 — http://ow.ly/W7wqs

Rainbow Snippets — Hard as Stone (SoulShares #1)

In just about five weeks, MANTLED IN MIST (SoulShares #6) is scheduled to make its way into your Kindles or onto your bookshelves. So I thought I’d lead up to that happy day with Rainbow Snippets from the first five SoulShares. Starting with HARD AS STONE (SoulShares #1) — Kevin’s first encounter with the Fae, Tiernan Guaire:

“I’m sorry.” The laughter lingering in the voice told him the speaker was anything but sorry. He was enjoying Kevin’s reaction. He’d bet anything that when he opened his eyes again, that devastating blue gaze would be locked on his. Anything.

Fuck, I hate being right sometimes.

Rainbow Snippet #1 — Wolf, Becoming

Filed under: Uncategorized — 6 Comments
December 5, 2015

VolykIlya1

Hi! — this is my first time participating in a snippet group, and I thought I’d try a few lines from “Wolf, Becoming,” my first shifter novella, currently in edits at Dreamspinner Press. In this scene, Volyk, a shapeshifter wolf, has just saved Ilya’s life — Ilya is a young, deeply closeted Russian gay man whose older brothers tried to kill him, after discovering the secret he was hiding. After rescuing and healing Ilya, Volyk has shifted to human form, and has just kissed him for the first time.

*********

All his life, since well before that aching spring morning, Ilya had known he was attracted to boys, and then to men. But it had never been safe for him to discover exactly what that meant. And now… I wish to God I knew. All of it. Because the thought of being clumsy, inexperienced, laughable in this man’s arms was painful enough to bring him to tears.

“Was that wrong?” Volyk’s voice caught. “Kissing you? I know nothing of humans… only my instincts, and the whispers of magick.”

A soft laugh escaped Ilya. Before he could lose his nerve altogether, he returned Volyk’s kiss, as gently as the other man had first kissed him. “I know as little about it as you do. But at least now if one of us is wrong, we both are.”
