Cover art for Sand
Jul. 16th, 2014 09:15 pmLife is extraordinarily busy writing wise, not least with two (count 'em!) new stories out next week. The cover for Sand has to be my favourite MLR cover (along with Tumble Turn) - thanks to the multi-talented Lex Valentine.
“Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand.”
Andrew Parks has come to Syria to escape potential disgrace in Edwardian England, burying past heartache and scandal among the tombs. Charles Cusiter has travelled here more reluctantly, as chaperone to a friend whose fondness for the opposite sex gets him into too much trouble at home. Out in the desert there aren’t any women to turn Bernard’s head – just the ubiquitous sand.
The desert works its magic on Charles, softening his heart. Not even a potentially fatal scorpion sting can overcome the power this strange land exerts.
