Made it back to work and right into a hot mess which is why it took me so long to get caught up on your snippets.
On the other hand being back in the Athens area is helping to make These Haunted Hills talk louder in my head. Once I get some edits out of the way I can get back to them.
We left off with Josh and Brendan’s story with Brendan back at his cabin talking to his ex, Kirsten, who was concerned he was so late with his check in call (combination of her being a city girl leery of the woods and her worry that he has gone out there to commit suicide.) Here’s more of their conversation.
It was hours after he’d promised to call Kirsten. “I went to the library and did some local research. It’s a fascinating town.”
“What’s Doctor Zimmerman like? Is he as cute as that picture you sent me?”
“Kirsten!” Brendan squirmed. “Much more adorable than that university website picture. Joshua’s a geek, huge fan. You can almost hear the need to be a screaming fan boy ripping out of him but he was well-behave professional, funny. I liked him.”
If you’d like to play along, Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook community where we post up 6 sentences of one of our LGBT stories every Saturday. It’s been fun and you can find it here. Be sure to check out all the offers! It’s been a great supportive group!
Ha! I like their back-and-forth here. She sounds supportive.

Thanks. Kirsten is supportive. Their marriage ended more because they couldn’t get passed their son’s death than it was because they didn’t love each other still.

At least Joshua came off in a good light, in Brendan’s mind. That can only bode well for the future, I hope. 🙂

If Josh had any idea that Brendan thought he was cute he’d lose it.
Thanks

Hahaha! Is Brendan sure he’s not describing himself rather than Joshua?

Brendan is definitely describing them both

It’s good to see exes getting along. So many authors show them only at each other’s throats.

I like how he sees Joshua… He could have called him intense and all that, but instead… fanboy!

Thanks. Brendan knows a fan boy when he sees one.

Brendan definitely does. Thanks. It might be a tiny while yet (read: I’m dragging heels because I’m behind on writing)
