Last week’s snippet from my US-set short story Epiphany, soon to be out in second edition in the Truly, Madly, Boys anthology, ended on a bit of a tease with the line, You probably want to know what he looks like, right?
So for all those who were kind enough to comment in the affirmative, here are the next 6 or so lines:
Hell, I’m no damn good at describing shit. Five-ten, maybe, least he looks like he’s a couple inches shorter than me, real skinny, with kinda mousy brown hair—see, this is why I don’t do descriptive. You’re thinking, hell, he’s nothing special, but let me tell you, he’s fucking breathtaking. Cutest little pointy chin, pale face like he don’t get out a whole lot. Fuck it. He’s beautiful. You just gotta trust me on that.
Don’t forget to check out the rainbow snippets Facebook group for more little excerpts from a whole host of talented authors here.
Truly, Madly, Boys will be out on 14th June and features 4 short stories, 2 by me and 2 by the lovely Josephine Myles,
It will be available exclusively on Kindle.
Cute in a very cute way. 🙂

Sounds like someone is smitten.
My best friend teases me when I find someone.. “Not really good looking but there’s just something about him.” Sounds like your narrator understands that “something you just can’t explain.”
*nods* Being attractive isn’t all about regular features. 🙂
Aww, this is cute, for all the bashful swearing! 🙂
*bashful swearing*

Yes. I think it’s safe to say someone is well and truly smitten.
The bigger they come, the harder they fall… 😉
Loving your POV character. He’ll be fun to read. 🙂
I loved writing him! 🙂
Made me smile. I love it when people see something others don’t.
Love his voice…:D
Love it! He’s definitely seen something there. ❤
🙂 I love how determined he is to convince the reader that this guy is gorgeous, like he’s defending his honour.
Love this! He is obviously smitten.
