Rainbow Snippets<\/u><\/span><\/a> is a weekly challenge for writers and bloggers to post 6 sentences of LGBTQ+ fiction on their blog. Everyone then follows and comments on each other\u2019s posts, so if you\u2019re interested in queer fiction, you should check it out.<\/span><\/p>

This week I want to share a snippet from my Demon Noir. <\/span>Soul Trader: The Diamond Affair<\/u><\/span><\/a> is the first in a series which could be described as Quantum Leap meets Lucifer!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Demons can possess any body, so they are beyond binary gender concepts. All the demons in this series use They\/Them pronouns, and are attracted to the soul, not the body. This one has recently been released<\/span> as an audiobook, narrated by the fabulous Dr. Jennifer M. Tobin.<\/u><\/span><\/a> If you like what you read and would like an audio review copy, please reach out to me on <\/span>Facebook<\/u><\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Instagram<\/u><\/span><\/a>, <\/span>BlueSky<\/u><\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Mastodon<\/u><\/span><\/a> or <\/span>email<\/u><\/span><\/a>. I can send you a US or UK code. Jenn has done such a fab job on the audio track it really does deserve more attention than it\u2019s getting.<\/span><\/p>

Anyway, here\u2019s the snippet:<\/span>
<\/p>

Anyway, most recently, I\u2019ve been a gumshoe on the streets of New York City. The year is 1938, the world is on the brink of war and I have two main types of case: adultery and theft. Humans never change.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>

\u201cThere\u2019s a Mr. John Smith here to see you,\u201d Paulette\u2019s dulcet Bronx tones crackle over my intercom.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>

\u201cSend him in,\u201d I say, holding the button. The name sounds about as genuine as a nine dollar bill, but there ain\u2019t nothin\u2019 unique about that. I move to the window and open the shutters, so the light is behind me. When I\u2019m in my natural form there is something off about my appearance which makes humans anxious. Afraid almost. It\u2019s best he doesn\u2019t get a good look until I get the facts of the case.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>

Since Sid can be anyone, this week\u2019s featured teeshop design is for those of you who want to be ambiguous. If you want to leave those you meet uncertain as to your species, this is the design for you!<\/p>
