BODYGUARDS IN BED
(with Lucy Monroe and Jamie Denton)
For Alice,
who listened to the idea for this book first
and encouraged me to write it.
Alice, I blame you.
And next I caught a glimpse of powerful Heracles.
Around him cries of the dead rang out like cries of birds
Scattering left and right in horror as on he came like night…
