My own snippet comes from my NaNoWriMo project, ‘A Godling for Your Thoughts?’ It’s got m/m and f/f, but this particular teaser is m/m. It’s from the very beginning of the book. I went a little over six sentences, but it didn’t make sense if I didn’t. (bows apologetically). My snippet is still fairly short.
“A godling for your thoughts?” The question was a low tease, as the man pulled the tiny icon out from behind the boy’s ear. It was a trick, an illusion. Nothing, but a coin laid in the man’s hand. The boy still giggled at the sight of it.
The man smiled, seeming to bask in the boy’s laughter. His multicolored eyes, however, were troubled. “Seriously, Leiwell, what’s the matter?”
Nice. It’s short, but tells so much about the man’s character.

Thank you! 🙂 I’ve actually been writing about Leiwell and Dyvian for a long time, although they’re finally making their way into novels. 🙂

Sweet scene. There seems to be a great deal of affection between the two of them.

Thank you! There is, although there’s also a lot of conflict. (looks for the Spoiler Smashing Foot, it doesn’t appear to be descending, I guess I can say that much :))
