No Genie, Lamp

His friends call him Aladdin. But there's no genie, no lamp, and no wishes, just a magic he can't control.Alan Eden grew up on a steady diet of Goodwill clothes, his mom's free-love philosophy, and roughly six thousand hours of Bee Gees music. Now he's twenty-one, broke, and pulling espresso shots in Seattle. He also has a secret: every once in a while, a Bee Gees song tells him exactly what's going to happen.So when a smooth-talking stranger offers $3,000 for a quick job back East, Alan should probably say no. Instead, he ends up running from a criminal on an overnight bus to Miami. Sitting beside him is Barbie, a whip-smart pre-law student who thinks he might be crazy.She might be right. Within weeks, Alan has a new job at a tiny Vietnamese diner, a long-shot Super Bowl bet in his pocket, and a pair of gangsters very interested in the mysterious "Mr. X" behind his uncanny tips.To keep his mom, his girl, and himself out of trouble, Alan will need luck, nerve, and the right song at exactly the right moment.Funny, warm, and wonderfully offbeat, No Genie, No Lamp is a story about bad luck, good love, and learning that some gifts are as much a curse as a blessing.Cue the falsetto. Your next favorite underdog is waiting.
