Kitty Ebbet enjoyed the book but he thinks a Rainbow Snippet sounds like something fun to chase across the floor…
Every week we post six lines from a work of ours, a work-in-progress or published or a recommendation of someone else’s work with at least one LGBT character. Posted at Rainbow Snippets here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/963484217054974
I actually intended to post this one a week or so ago, but I got busy (read “lazy”) so I’m doing it now. It’s snippets from another fine story from the Own Voices anthology “Romance Is A Drag,” which we sampled before. https://www.jscottcoatsworth.com/book/romance-is-a-drag-anthology/ The story, “Miss Vina Volaria,” by M. D. Neu, finds drag performer Pailo en route to his next gig. But his ports of call include the Moon and Mars.
Oh, and there’s one other thing…
Here’s our first snippet…
He needed to arrange his trip correctly to ensure the Mars crossing went smoothly. He didn’t want to have the voyage near his transition time.
Those days can be a bitch when you’re traveling. And not nearly as fun.
Fortunately for him, his Lycan Circadian Cycle was every five weeks. He knew other lycan that weren’t so lucky—having their cycles sometimes three and a half, or even three, weeks apart.
Here’s one more snippet, and yes the italics in the story are his not mine.
That would suck, especially if you had to make the Mars crossing often.
He scanned his VIS Sheet again, calculating the math in his head, ensuring his trip would be after his mandatory time at the Lunar Lycan Reserve. He didn’t need to double check the schedule, since his Tappy managed to track such things for him, but still he didn’t want to rely on technology for such an important and personal bodily function.
And that’s our snippets for this week, I’ll see you next time!
