This Rainbow Snippet comes from Sunset at Pencarrow which I’m co-writing with Lou Sylvre. It’s for Dreamspinner Press’s ‘World of Love’ series and is set in Wellington.
“It seems silly to have you spend a really uncomfortable night here—and believe me it will be—when I have a perfectly good couch at my place.”
He was sure Amy wouldn’t mind. She’d take one look at Rusty and realise why Nate couldn’t leave the guy at the airport. Oh crap. She probably would take one look at Rusty and tease the shit out of both of them. Nate would have to make it perfectly clear this was just helping out a guy in need and nothing more.
About Anne Barwell
Anne Barwell lives in Wellington, New Zealand. She shares her home with a cat with “tortitude” who is convinced that the house is run to suit her; this is an ongoing “discussion,” and to date, it appears as though Kaylee may be winning.
In 2008, Anne completed her conjoint BA in English Literature and Music/Bachelor of Teaching. She has worked as a music teacher, a primary school teacher, and now works in a library. She is a member of the Upper Hutt Science Fiction Club and plays violin for Hutt Valley Orchestra.
She is an avid reader across a wide range of genres and a watcher of far too many TV series and movies, although it can be argued that there is no such thing as “too many.” These, of course, are best enjoyed with a decent cup of tea and further the continuing argument that the concept of “spare time” is really just a myth. She also hosts and reviews for other authors, and writes monthly blog posts for Love Bytes. She is the co-founder of the New Zealand Rainbow Romance writers, and a member of RWNZ.
Anne’s books have received honorable mentions five times, reached the finals four times—one of which was for best gay book—and been a runner up in the Rainbow Awards. She has also been nominated twice in the Goodreads M/M Romance Reader’s Choice Awards—once for Best Fantasy and once for Best Historical.
