My snippet this week is from Jewel Cave, book 3 of Circles.
Picture
By the time they arrived at the police station closest to the Motel 8 and collected the note, it was getting too late in the day to go into a rugged area with undermapped caves. As they’d asked, the paper towel had been put into a plastic sandwich bag. Liam turned it over a few times, then held it up to the light.

“Red crayon. Not blood,” Liam said and handed it to Griff. “Not much in the way of prints or trace DNA,” Liam read off an accompanying report.
“It’s Clint’s handwriting,” Griff said.

Liam set the report on a desk. They thanked the local police. Griff tucked the bag into his pocket, and they left. Matt had arrived shortly before them and rented rooms at the same motel where Clint left the note. The room where the note had been discovered had been thoroughly searched, but nothing was found. Unfortunately, the boy who’d found the note was good at his job, and the room had been scrubbed before he’d placed the call to Griff.

Griff entered the room and sat on the bed, running his hands over the soft bedspread. There was no sign of Clint or that he’d been there, yet Griff knew for a fact Clint had been in this room only hours ago. He rested his elbows on his knees and leaned down, covering his face with his hands.

“Hey, Griff, the park ranger is here,” Matt said.

Griff straightened just in time to see Matt standing half in and half out of the doorway, then stepping aside fast. A man marched through the door. He was tall, with coal black hair sprinkled with gray around the sideburns. He had deep blue eyes and looked as if he could bench-press a Buick. “Park ranger? That’s all we could get?” Griff looked up, the words leaving his mouth before he really thought about the fact that he didn’t exactly know what rangers did.

The man held out one hand. “Mason Arquette. I have a master’s degree in criminology and can shoot the gray hairs off a squirrel at twenty paces.”

I'm not sure if I feel sorrier for Griff because he's missing Clint or because he just put both feet in his mouth with the Park Ranger.

That's some impressive skills on the ranger, hopefully, enough to help find Clint.

    Welcome to My World
    Elizabeth Noble

    Mystery, action, chills, and thrills spiced with romance and desire. ELIZABETH NOBLE lives by the adage "I can't not write." She doesn't remember a time when she didn't make up stories and eventually she learned how to put words on a page. Those words turned into books and fan fiction that turned into a genuine love of M/M fiction. A part of every day is spent living in worlds she created that are filled with intrigue and espionage. She has a real love for a good mystery complete with murder and twisty plots as well as all things sci-fi, futuristic, and supernatural.

    When she's not chronicling the adventures of her many characters, Elizabeth is a veterinary nurse living in her native Cleveland, Ohio. She has three grown children and now happily shares her little, brick house with two spunky Cardigan Welsh Corgis and their feline sidekicks. Elizabeth is a fan of baseball, basketball (go Cavs and Cleveland Guardians!) and gardening. She can often be found working in her 'outside office' listening to classic rock and plotter her next novel waiting for it to be dark enough to gaze at the stars.

    Elizabeth has received a number of amateur writing awards. Since being published, several of her novels have received Honorable Mentions in the Rainbow Awards. Jewel Cave was a runner-up in the Gay Mystery/Thriller category in the 2015 Rainbow Awards. Ringed Love was a winner in the Gay Fantasy Romance category of the 2016 Rainbow Awards.
