Frankly Speaking

Book cover for Frankly Speaking featuring Matt and Frank the Genie

Matt Stretherington just wanted a quiet pint after work. What he got was a time-freezing, whisky-swigging, trilby-wearing genie called Frank—who definitely has no idea how much he can sensibly drink.

Now Matt has three wishes and a serious case of decision paralysis. Unlimited beer? A magic wallet? A beautiful woman? So many choices—so many potential disasters.

But Frank isn’t your average wish-granting entity. He’s charming, unassuming, sometimes hungover, and has an uncanny talent for sleeping. Until tonight, called to duty once more.

As Matt quickly learns, with great power comes great... clauses, consequences, and contracts you can't read.

Frankly Speaking is a cheeky blend of magical realism and dry wit—a tale of what happens when the extraordinary strolls into the ordinary, magics up a glass of whisky, and insists you be very, very specific.
