Happy Saturday! I’m really sorry I’ve been so bad about reading other snippets. I try not to participate on weeks I know I can’t make the rounds. I’ll try to do better this week.
Also, if you’re interested, there’s still time to enter the giveaway below to win a copy of something from my backlist. Maybe a good way to celebrate Bi Visibility Day, right?
I’m snipping again from Drumbeat, my nearly-new novel about a drummer, and Irish dancer, and their multi-faceted relationships.
The real story was that Cian had cornered Jamie at Brandon and Gemma’s engagement party and tried to rope him into conversation about his past work. Given the fact that there was a limited audience for it, there was only one way Cian could have known anything about it. He’d had an awful lot to say about Jamie’s character, something about why they hadn’t hired an actual deaf actor for the part. Jamie wouldn’t have minded discussing it somewhere other than in front of his friends, but Cian had sounded so arrogant, leaving no room for Jamie to explain anything. Cian didn’t get to jerk off while watching Jamie and then judge him for his part in it later, as though somehow Jamie had put the notion in his head to watch the web series or as if casting direction was even his call in the first place.
The trouble was, Jamie had kind of liked that about him.

Ha! Love that last line. 😁
😀 Thanks!
Such conflicting emotions…intriguing set up!
Ooer missus! Although I do feel like this post would benefit from a torso…
Poor Jamie — caught between wanting to smack Cian and liking him.
This is an interesting start on things. This is actually on my TBR list along with the rest of the series (peers up at the teetering tower of ebooks). Eventually. I want to read them in order.
Sounds a bit conflicted and intense at the same time. I really liked it.
Interesting!
