#RainbowSnippets: Jack and Marjory
Happy Saturday! Here’s my #RainbowSnippets post for this week – if you’re new to this, Rainbow Snippets is a chance to read and share 6 sentences of LGBTQIA+ fiction every Saturday. There’s a huge variety from Steampunk, like mine, to Romance, Fantasy, Paranormal, Comedy and everything in between. You can join the fun and read all the other fabulous snippets at the wonderfully friendly and supportive official facebook group here 🙂
So, here is the next snippet from Jack and Marjory – my novella-in-progress which gives two of my Bi-Gendered characters a chance to tell something of their own little side-adventure, which actually had a massive impact on the history of Ire in a ‘behind-the-scenes’ kind of way.
If you missed last week’s snippet you can catch up here: #RainbowSnippets: Jack and Marjory

And the more we sifted the soup of the matter through the cheesecloth of our own grey stuff, the more the railway madmen and little old parasol duellers and sausage wielding barge girls and the laughing policemen all seemed to stand out as sinister flies in the ointment of our peaceful continuation … the more we watched the door… the more we quaked at every floorboard creak … the more we determined we would not test the mattress of that comfy looking bed after all, but keep a careful guard until the first green light of dawn … and then scarper like a jack rabbit back to Lancaster.
being an entertaining and informative piece of travel writing by a couple of rogues on the run as they attempt to avoid the machinations of wizards, monarchs and a ruthless band of beatnik poets, deflect a civil war and deliver a priceless, historical tea set before the owner finds himself at the gallows.
Wishing you all a most splendiferous week and don’t forget to check in at the #rainbowsnippets facebook group for more fabulous snippets of LGBTQIA+ fiction 🙂

Sleepless nights are no fun at all, lol, but I do love an eldritch green dawn much better than the rosy pink ones! 😉
