An excerpt from The End of the Rainbow:

“Look,” Andrew said, desperate to get out of this unscathed and un-asylumed. “I swear I won’t write about leprechauns anymore. Whaddaya say?” He held out his right hand, hoping to seal the deal.

“Oh, I think not,” the leprechaun said, turning to face him. His voice had gone greasy, and he had a twinkle in his eye Andrew really didn’t like at all.

“Methinks you do deserve a deal,” he continued. “You’re obviously surprised to see me, so I don’t think you knew you were stepping on any toes.”

He began pacing again, hands clasped behind his back, head down.

“I’ve got it,” he said, rising up and looking Andrew in the eye. “Here’s the very thing. You’ll love it. I’ll release you on the condition that you work off your debt in my employ.”
