    About this ebook

    Fantasy fiction often has heroes in control of their magic, treating it as an everyday part of their lives. You won’t find that here. Because these 5 fabulous stories by Terry Hayman aren’t about magic users so much as people who are used by magic, sometimes in terror, sometimes in delight. Experience earth magic, angel magic, Hawaiian magic, even rock and roll magic like you’ve never seen it before. Contains “Profit Sharing”, “Plague Poker”, “What You Really Want”, “The Substitute”, and “The Wizard of Light Meets the Wizard of Rock and Roll.”
