The Proof Copy. The spine is horribly horribly wrong. New book cover created. New proof copy ordered.

IT IS TOO HOT TO SLEEP
It is too hot to sleep.
I watch the moonlight 
Creep across the bedclothes.
And I remember 
On a night such as this
That I did not step out through my gate.
And I remember
Not stopping by her little board house
Where the road
Twists away from the sea,
And climbing the stair
Knock softly on her door.
And I remember
Her breasts did not
Tip dark against the thin cloth
Of her nightdress.
And I remember
We did not 
Make love on the bare mattress.
I lie here awake
And the moonlight has
Touched your face.
Asleep, you know nothing of this.
And I lie here awake
Deep in the grace of Africa.

These beauties are soldiers of the Demon Horde who rampage through 'The Half-Life Girl', book two of the Portals series. They arrive through a portal in the Librarium situated on the highest peak in the Vault of Heaven, with devastating consequences for the books!

The front cover will be the image on the left. Based on your suggestions, we’ve increased the size of the figure (Jack) and toned down the shine so the title is clearer

Dust
Motes of dust dancing in the sunlight
Knifing a path through a slit in the curtains.
How many years had the room been closed?
His arm swept round towards the clock.
‘An orphanage workhouse once,’ he said.
The air is dead.
Silent, except for the minute hand 
Juddering up towards the hour.
Brown wallpaper, dark furniture, threadbare carpets,
Faded hurts.
And only the sunlight, of this moment.
Motes of ancient dust dancing in the sunlight
Each enclosing the trapped energy
Of a screaming child.
