Product Description

Product Description

“Just how many things did your mother not teach you as a child? You don’t ask people about their smalls. Besides, for all you know, I could be remarkably well-endowed.”

The Magician's Washing Machine is a short story for grown-ups only, with magic in it. Why should kids have all the wizards?

You know how sometimes you feel rinsed and get yourself into a real spin cycle? Andrew Mulligan's day has started with dirty laundry on show. Waking up to find your girlfriend's left you is never going to be easy for anyone to deal with - but what happens when an upsetting event like that is followed by something altogether stranger that involves rather large boxer shorts?

“I’m an Adept of the Thirteenth Order of Magicks,” he said gently. “We tend to know these things."

5.0 out of 5 stars Made me laugh! 18 Sep 2012
By BWP
Format:Kindle Edition
"There was a washing machine on the beach. A washing machine."

Well do I really need to say anymore? Who doesn't want to read on?

This story was very worth it's 77p :) It made me smile and literally laugh out loud on a day when I was feeling down and miserable so that was a major achievement by a skilled author. Love the word play, lots of lovely word pictures, it created images in my mind.

And again I say, well worth the price, go on, it's only 77p, buy it and have a laugh!

4.0 out of 5 stars Puts a smile on your face 21 Sep 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Andrew wakes up to girlfriend has left him. So he goes for a pre-breakfast walk on the beach (as you do), and while he's there, he discovers a washing machine. Even stranger, it's full of clothes, and it's washing them. On a beach. Miles from anywhere or anyone. Really!

Why, or what happens I won't say, but there's a clue in the title. This is a nicely written short story, with some fun imagery (loved the donkeys), and despite the 'my girlfriend left me' premise, what comes out of the wash (!) is a cheery little tale that will put a smile on your face.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice visuals 21 Sep 2012
By Combat Wombat TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A longish coffee break or a shortish lunch time read. Very well presented on the Kindle with good attention to proofing.

Some great visuals - don't know why but those poor donkeys stand out. Some nice flirtation from the author .. will I, won't I. Packs a punch well above it's weigh in weight and well worth the time invested. Thank you. CW.
