It was a completely traumatic first week back to school, not only for me but for our two new hires. I hope to hell they don’t think it’s always like this or we’ll be looking for new ones again.
So I didn’t write as much as I wanted (also I had edits to do which were easy so that made me happy, I’ll talk more about this one closer to the holidays) and I’m looking forward to reading all your snippets to get my mind off this.
I’m picking up right where we left off with Brendan talking to his ex wife (still a good friend) Kirsten. They’re talking about him meeting Josh.
I’m looking forward to working with him.
“Good I love hearing the excitement, Brendan. It’s been so long since I’ve heard you this jazzed about a project even if it’s a little morbid.”
“You never did like horror.”
“You were the Stephen King fan, Bren. I can’t believe you’re going to go into haunted houses.”
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!

Heh, Bren is a King fan…why am I not surprised?

Well, Kirsten is probably overstating things a bit but he enjoyed some of it at any rate.

Why is she surprised that a horror fan would want to go into a haunted house? Seems to be a perfectly normal and logical thing for them to do.

Because he’s not really much of a fan and he’s never been a risk taker in when they were married.

Morbid is as morbid does, I suppose. 🙂 Haunted houses would be cool, to me. My hubby? Not on your life!

See I think I’ve messed up here. Brendan is as far from morbid as you can get.
Though I’m with you on haunted houses. I go often.

Sometimes our exes make better friends than they every did spouses. I like this about Kirsten and Brendan.

I think I’d be especially reluctant to enter a haunted house right after reading/watching a Stephen King story!

I just went on my first haunted house tour. It was fun, but I’d have liked it better if the tour guide had shut up for 5 minutes and let us explore.
I love stories where exes are still friends. It makes a good relationship dynamic.

I love haunted house tours (though yeah time to explore helps) and a lot I do is private investigation.
I’m so glad people are liking his relationship to Kirstin.

It’s nice to see that there are fans who exist who can stand to see that someone can be friends with an ex-spouse. So rare 🙂

Kristen does think Brendan has lost his mind with this new novel.
