About this ebook
Tina betrayed mankind to the alien Canro, for the perfect lover who completely understands what she needs as a sex slave. Except that running the world means meetings take up all his time. So with the help of another slave, she hatches the perfect plan to get her more attention. Now with the bonus story, "Not a Meat Puppet, a Magic Puppet" that starts it all.
Thea Hutcheson
Thea Hutcheson lives and writes in a large house full of an understanding partner, four semi-feral cats, and about a thousand books in an economically depressed, unscenic, nearly historic small city in Colorado. When she's not working diligently as a planning commissioner to change that situation or writing, she's a factotum.

(This episode is steamy!). Though the story takes place in Germany, it was a variation of a tale common throughout Europe over a thousand year period while European culture was transitioning from animist paganism to Christianity. It tells the story of a mortal man seduced by an otherworldly woman, such as a fairy queen or goddess, who lures him to her Underworld paradise. This story asks us: where does abundance actually come from? Does it come from the land, physical pleasure, healthy food, enjoying loved ones, and contributing to our community in some way? Or does abundance come from working hard, getting a well paying job, saving money, and playing by "the rules"? When Spirit presents us with its gifts, what should we do with them?
