At first, life aboveground is a dream come true. Queen Elfrieda Veronika Ingrid Lenore (E.V.I.L.) is the best friend Grump always wanted, feeding him all the rubies he can eat and allowing him to rule at her side in exchange for magic and information. But as time goes on, Grump starts to suspect that Queen E.V.I.L. may not be as nice as she seems. . . . When the queen commands him to carry out a horrible task against her stepdaughter Snow White, Grump is in over his head. He's bound by magic to help the queen, but also to protect Snow White. As if that wasn't stressful enough, the queen keeps bugging him for updates through her magic mirror! He'll have to dig deep to find a way out of this pickle, and that's enough to make any dwarf Grumpy indeed.

Book excerpt: Women of Earth: Are you lonely? Unfulfilled? Haven’t had a toe-tingling, almost-blackout orgasm in longer than you can remember? Nora I just wanted a good man. A nice, polite, boy-next-door type. He didn’t have to be a male model or a sports star or a wealthy magnate—even if that was the kind of man I read about late at night, alone, in bed. So what if I dreamt of a man with big muscles and a commanding voice? That didn’t mean I wanted to date that guy. A nice accountant would work. Or an insurance salesman. But then I had another epically bad date, came home alone, drank half a pitcher of margaritas, and took a silly online quiz. Next thing I knew, I was agreeing to go on a date with the perfect man. I’d never used a dating service before but…why not? The old-fashioned way hadn’t worked. Maybe Serendipity Inc. would match me with a nice teacher or a dentist. Maybe I’d meet that boy next door I’d dreamt about. Daken For over a decade I fought for my planet. I dreamt of returning to CiFGa to live a peaceful life, and finally it’s happened. I’m home. We beat the invaders back, ground them into the dust, crippled their fleets, brought them to their knees. We shamed them. They won’t soon return to my world. The planetary leaders call me a hero, a CiFGan worthy of reward. After years of celibacy and bland rations, I don’t want wealth and titles. All I want is willing women and spicy food. What do I get? Knighted for bravery, enough credits to retire, and a betrothal contract. I’ve been saddled with a HuHMan bride. About the series Wicked Galaxy Warriors Women of Earth: Are you lonely? Unfulfilled?
