Your wish is his... UGH.
Jani likes his lamp. It's safe, comfortable, and he can conjure up any of life's luxuries he wants. So when some lovelorn human idiot rubs it, he is none too pleased. But, in the name of his sacred duty, Jani sets out to help his new client find love. Yet some lamp-rubbers may not be all that they seem.

This book will make all of your wishes come true... assuming your wish is to read a ridiculous comic fantasy.
Featuring: A Genie, A Centaur, A Sarcastic Wizard, Fairies, A Supernatural Self-Help Group, Ludicrous Bureaucracy, A Power Tripping Rent-a-Cop, Egyptian-Chinese Fusion Cuisine, and of course, A Wacky Adventure.

Mike Bryant's books are NOT like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Carlton Mellick III, or Matt Dinniman... but if you were making a bizarro mix tape of weird fiction, they'd jam well together.
