Would You Like To Help Me Make Money From Professional Masturbation?
…well, if that’s not a zinger of a headline, I don’t know what is.
In any case, I wrote a humor tale for Alex Shvartsman’s “Unidentified Funny Objects” science fiction humor anthology, which is now available on Amazon in e-book and paper format. I’ve read some of the tales there, and they’re funny – he’s got some damn good authors, from Mike Resnick to Ken Liu to Jake Kerr to Lavie Tidhar… and yet somehow, among all this talent, he made a mistake and included me!
Fortunately, my tale is suitably bizarre. If you’ve enjoyed some of my crazy sex stories in the past, this one’s the looniest. It’s called “One-Hand Tantra” – and like all porn, first I have to give you a sample:
“The path of most wizards is solitary,” Loefwyn’s father had told him when his power had first manifested itself. “Your path, my dearest and only child, is more solitary still.”
To this day, Loefwyn wished he had never become a masturbatician.
As his father had promised, Loefwyn’s singular sex magic had given him a decent living. He’d just scraped up enough cash to build the obligatory wizard’s tower, a ribbed rock column jutting up to advertise his unique talents. Masturbaticians were rare, effective ones even more so… and both Loefwyn and his spells were potent indeed. Intrigued merchants dropped by to witness the town’s newest oddity — even as they hesitated to shake his hand.
Now, royalty — minor, vicious royalty, but royalty still — had hired him. Enspell Griselda the One-Eyed, and Loefwyn’s success was all but guaranteed….
If you’d like a fair amount of funny for your holiday season, I’d recommend this book even if I wasn’t in it. As I said, it’s available at Amazon for a mere $5.99, or you can cut the middleman and buy it directly from their site. Either way, I don’t think you’ll regret it.
Excellent! now I just need to get a copy of this in time for Confusion…
