Every week we post six lines of a story of ours, a work-in-progress or from someone else’s work that we recommend that has LGBT characters on Rainbow Snippets, here; https://www.facebook.com/groups/963484217054974

Here’s a snippet from a story that isn’t mine, from the fine new Queer Sci Fi anthology “Rise.” https://www.otherworldsink.com/book/rise/?cn-reloaded=1 In the story “Recovery” from the excellent Kaje Harper, we find a loving couple busy in the kitchen…

“Hold that thought.” I put more details on the gingerbread men, girls and enbies I’ve created. They hold hands or hug, pairs and trios, every combo I can think of. Ground-almond crewcuts with candied-lemon skirts, long hair, a bra, and a chocolate-sprinkle beard; two twinks in matching rainbow-icing shorts. It’s not art, but I’m baking love and acceptance in every bite.

The stories in the anthology are 300 words or less, so I’ll stop there. Suffice to say, things are about to get wonderfully wonky in the hands of this master craftsman of words!

I’ve gotten to where I’m just crazy about anything Kaje writes! She posts a weekly story on this Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/208207893795147 or on her blog https://www.kajeharper.com/

Next week, we continue a couple of Christmastime traditions. One; my posting a bit from an LGBT literary master. And two, the Yuletide telling of tales of dread! —-jeff
