I’ve been posting stuff from J. Scott Coatsworth and Kim Fielding’s fun novel “Office Of the Lost” for Pride Month. Today we meet the adorable Minkis.

Every week we post six lines from a work of ours, a work in progress or part of someone else’s work with LGBT characters at Rainbow Snippets, here https://www.facebook.com/groups/963484217054974

For Pride Month I’m posting snippets from “Office Of the Lost,” a fun new novel written by my friends J. Scott Coatsworth and Kim Fielding. https://www.jscottcoatsworth.com/book/office-of-the-lost/ Our heroes, Leopold Lane and Desk Fae Crispin get a breather this week from bopping around dangerous worlds as they are back at the tree apartment Crispin calls home. Oh, and we get to meet Minkis! (But all Hell is about to break loose!)

A delighted chittering greeted him.

“Minkis!”

The gray squirrel approached cautiously, sniffing at him as if he wasn’t sure whether Crispin was real.

Small wonder. I’ve been gone for days. He reached into his pocket and held out an acorn.

Minkis stood on his hind legs, took it greedily, and dashed back toward the giant oak tree they both called home.

Awwwwwww! So sweet! (Of course, all Hell is abut to break loose, like I said!)

“Office Of the Lost” is highly recommended.

Happy Pride, everybody! See you all soon! —-jeff
