Been swamped with work interviewing new professors to hire, and nano, and trying to keep this foot up, and managing to finish up the final edits of one of my christmas novellas (I’ll start sharing that as soon as I get the final promo packs)
Still with These Haunted Hill (which I’m working on for nano, in part) and we’re in a potentially haunted house looking it over for a client. And hey I actually have exactly six sentences for a change! We’re in Brendan’s head and he’s been considering how pretty the house is. (Kristen is his ex-wife, amicable divorce and still friends but couldn’t hold it together after their son died)
Some days he wondered why he stayed in the house. Kristen hadn’t wanted it, too many memories. That was one of the reason he held on to it but maybe it was keeping him from moving on too. He wondered what Josh liked and that made his heart race more than the prospect of a ghost on the stairs. Fear, like ice slipped into his core. The idea that he would even think about sharing a house with someone – a someone he hadn’t so much as kissed or gone out with on a real date with – terrified 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!

Aww. Maybe a bit preemptive if they haven’t gone on a date yet, but still sweet. Love that the idea of ghosts in here and now isn’t as frightening to him as taking a closer step with Josh.

So touching, and the idea that ghosts are less scary than a relationship with Josh is so revealing.

He seems more than a little gun-shy,but then, relationships can be scarier than ghosts, maybe because they bring their own ghosts.

Yes they do, especially Brendan is haunted

Aww, I like that…that he’s falling for him as a person rather than all about a physical attraction. ❤️

Thanks. It’s definitely about the person over looks (though he does think Josh is a cutie)
