I just joined Rainbow Snippets! I’m not sure exactly how this works or when the regular schedule is, but I’m supposed to post six sentences from either an LGBT WIP or another LGBT work of fiction.

This is from a story I posted a few years ago that got some nice reaction, called “Shine On Harvest Moon.” One of my series of sci-fi tall tales told in a Gay bar…

The next week, the last of the resort season, it stormed so I couldn’t get to the beach and by the next summer I was in the army. When I finally made it back to the beach, years later, the rocky area had been torn down. They were putting up a bridge from there to one of the islands. I had no way of knowing where the mermen had gone, and no real way of finding them. I certainly couldn’t put an ad in the local paper asking if anyone knew the whereabouts of a group of singing gay mermen, could I? Not even in the supposedly liberated 1960’s.”
