Best SF/Fantasy Romance of 2002
At Your Command
Is Maggie Yates suffering from a complete nervous breakdown or is a naked jinn offering to grant her three wishes? The only alternative she’s willing to consider is she has a nut in her bedroom. In either case, it’s time to panic!
Tom has had more names than he can remember and several masters he’d like to forget. The only thing he hates more than granting wishes is returning to the obis to wait for another fool to call him. When he meets his latest master, however, he discovers wishes have their charms, but he can only grant three before his curse separates them forever.
Can Tom trick Maggie into forgoing her third wish until she’s an old woman? Or maybe, just maybe, has he found the one person who loves him enough to risk setting him free?
Published by The Hard Shell Word Factory, and available in
trade paperback, Kindle and other electronic formats.
Reviews
Very Highly Recommended
“One of the funniest books I have ever read—I laughed cover to cover! Murphy did a fabulous job of creating Tom, a very believable jinn. Having a rough time with modern customs and language syntax, Tom finds his greatest source for help is the United States Post Office, which offers advice for free; they only charge for stamps.” —Holly E. Price at Under the Covers
“Ms. Murphy handles the genie aspect of this story with a deft touch, but the genie merely provides the impetus for Maggie’s journey of growth and maturity, which is the real heart of the story. This is another book that is well worth the read.” —Jennifer Dunne, Science Fiction Romance
