About the Author
More than once when she was a little girl, Christine came to the conclusion that she'd been dropped by an alien space craft and left to grow up in a small town in Minnesota. When would they notice she was missing and come back for her, she wanted to know. After graduating from Concordia College, only 20 miles away, she decided drastic action was called for and she joined the Navy to look for them. The Navy, in their infinite wisdom, sent her to Iceland, one of the few places in this world with more Lutherans per square foot than Minnesota. After serving in Florida, Iceland, and Virginia, she realized no one was coming for her and she decided to settle for domestic bliss.
Christine lives in New England with her husband, three exceptional children, and one crazy, red Abyssinian cat. Freelance technical writing and typesetting jobs constantly interfere with her creation of worlds where she feels more at home.
At Your Command, Christine’s paranormal romantic comedy is set in her home town. She has three other books available through Hard Shell Word Factory. For the Emperor, her first published book and EPPIE finalist, is a science fiction romance set in the same galaxy as Highlord of Darkness, also an EPPIE finalist. Through Iowa Glass is a romantic suspense set in another strange and alien world, Iowa. You can contact Christine at LSComp@aol.com. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Quirky, light reading -- Very highly recommended,
By
This review is from: At Your Command (CD-ROM)
Maggie Yates possess a Masters of Science degree and a graduate assistantship in psychology. Two days before her wedding to the professor she assists, Maggie leaves him a message on his answering machine saying shed changed her mind and he should stay in L.A. In an equally impersonal response, Chet sends her a telegram saying he needs an assistant with whom he can work closely and he will find someone else.With no money, no job and no plans, Maggies at a loss. Four weeks later a package arrives from her great aunt. Within is a jinn. They are now unexplainably linked as surely as he has a silver collar around his neck. Until Maggie banishes him to the obis or she dies, he belongs to her. Maggie thinks shes loosing her mind, although she cant help but admire the rather hunky, naked man that has mysteriously appeared in her bedroom. Now she has three wishes before he disappears forever. But soon Tom, as the jinn calls himself, has his own wish. He wants to remain close to Maggie and keep her happy. From warming her toes to providing the most erotic nights of passion, hes happy to please, unlike with his previous masters whom only doled out cruelty. Now Tom hopes to trick Maggie out of her third wish until shes an old woman, so that he might enjoy living. He even finds himself wishing she might love him enough set him free. Christine Murphy creates an entrancing romance in AT YOUR COMMAND. Certainly any woman would delight in the physical pleasures and potential for wishes that this sexy jinn presents. Yet theres a deeper motivation, as Maggies growth and maturity bring a sparkle to the tale, balanced by Toms sizzling journey to learning to love and trust humans. Sensual, evocative and amusing, AT YOUR COMMAND comes very highly recommended.

AVERAGE, PLEASANT READ,
By
This review is from: At Your Command (Paperback)
AT YOUR COMMAND isn't your normal jinni in a bottle story. Tom, our jinn, is doing his best to be released from his five thousand-year curse of servitude and torture. To do this he must trick his new master, Maggie, into setting him free. A couple of problems occur with his plan, one; she doesn't believe he's real and is being somewhat flighty with her three wishes and two; he is falling in love with her.This is a fairly short story, really a novella more so than a novel, a quick read and I found to be a rather fun one. It's a nice average story that will help you kill a little time that will give you a chuckle and a bit of a 'Ahh' at the end. I definitely RECOMMEND it, a great one for a day at the pool this summer.

MAGIC MAYHEM!,
By
This review is from: At Your Command (CD-ROM)
"Be careful what you wish for" may be the old adage, but heroine Maggie Yates wasnt exactly wishing for another man in her life --- especially a sexy jinn. She'd called off her wedding, spent weeks in bed, and wasnt expecting anything miraculous or wonderful to happen to her. Then, she opens the 50 yr.old package from her great aunt and gets the surprise of a naked man in her bed! Tom, a bound genie, has a hard time convincing her he's the real thing and that she has three wishes coming. He's hoping she'll either delay those wishes or he can trick her into thinking she's used them so that he can remain out of his obis prison until she dies and he's sent back to wait for another master. Christine Murphy has written a wonderfully whimsical book, full of moments of humor, moments of poignant emotions, and a very real heroine that reacts just the way you'd act if you were confronted with a jinn and three wishes. Its a great, entertaining read!
