Wishes, Genies, Sex, and Death

Marvin and Fatima THREE-IN-ONE

Eighteen-year-old Marvin Harper is a good guy: He tutors Anna Kay in trig for free. Admittedly, part of the reason Marvin does this is that Anna Kay Henderson is a big-breasted cheerleader, and Marvin has a crush on her. Marvin is five-foot-two, a bullied nonentity at his high school, and tutoring Anna Kay is the closest that Marvin figures he will ever come to rescuing a damsel in distress.

Then Marvin’s dislikable but oh-so-rich great-uncle dies, and Marvin inherits a brass oil lamp. Marvin is sure that the lamp is an old, cheap fake. He polishes the lamp with brass polish, planning to sell the lamp on eBay.

Surprise, surprise—out smokes green-dressed genie Fatima.

Thus begins the 58-year friendship between Marvin and Fatima. They are always genie-master and genie, yes; but they also become friends and lovers. Marvin treats Fatima with kindness however he can. Likewise, Fatima almost always agrees to Marvin’s magical requests.

Fatima trusts, respects, and admires Marvin—this leads Fatima to give Marvin more than he asks for when he makes his wishes. From Fatima’s wish-grants, Marvin becomes six-foot-eight, the strongest man in the world, one of the richest men in the world, and an alpha male whom men defer to and women desire.

Marvin has not changed inside; he still wants to help people in trouble. Well, now he can. Less than a week after Marvin makes his wishes, he becomes famous as “the hero billionaire” when he rescues two children from a burning house.

Of course, helping people in trouble sometimes means thwarting the schemes of bad guys. In a world where seven genies are real, djinn are real, and demons are real, Marvin discovers that there are all sorts of bad guys—and not all of them can be stopped by a sock to the jaw. Even with all Marvin’s muscles and all his wealth, and even with Fatima by his side, sometimes Marvin must be brave and clever if he hopes to win the day.

Included in this compilation are three previously published novellas/novels, and a bonus short story—

• Three More Wishes: Be Kind to Your Genie: an evil genie-master decides she wants more than just her own brass bottle and her own genie. She plans to steal Marvin’s brass lamp, and Fatima with it.

• “Kristin Tells (Mostly) All”: A kidnapper is holding Marvin’s ex-lover Kristin Curry, threatening to kill her if Marvin does not pay a five-million-dollar ransom. Marvin believes that the kidnapper will kill Kristin whether Marvin pays up or not. Kristin believes Fatima is only Marvin’s housekeeper; this limits Marvin’s options.

• One More Genie: A Mafia hitman finds a genie lamp. The hitman is evil, and his genie (Kharmesh of the Blue Tribe of Djinn) is Fatima’s sworn enemy. Meanwhile Hakeezib, Chief of the Blue Tribe of Djinn, is working his own evil plan, which will surely kill Marvin.

• More Genie Problems: Can the Hero Billionaire Hold off Judgment Day?: The good news is that Marvin becomes Master of two more genies. The bad news is that even three genies working together are not powerful enough to block a demoness’s plot to cause the Apocalypse.
