One of my favorite authors in the whole world has hit a financial snag and is in danger of losing her house: http://dianeduane.com/outofambit/a-difficult-appeal/ 

@dduane is a delightful human and a wonderful author.  Her books are full of life, and good people making the best choices they can.  They make me laugh and cry still on the 10000000th read.

Like modern wizards, and YA, and talking trees, and arrogant but delightful alien princes, and little sisters becoming intergalactic badasses, and kindly whales, and sentient, feral helicopters?  Get all NINE young wizards books in DRM-free formats for $20: https://ebooksdirect.co/collections/our-inventory/products/young-wizards-new-millennium-editions-9-volume-box-set

Like cats, and wizards, and cats who are wizards?  https://ebooksdirect.co/collections/feline-wizards 

Want to try her writing out first before buying?  https://ebooksdirect.co/collections/freebies 

Pls consider being kind to both a lovely author and to yourself, and pick up some quality reading.

(And once you’re in love with her books, come talk to me about’em.  And maybe consider joining the YW slack, which is also full of lovely people saying nice things.  And puns.)

OH! I’d been meaning to get the Young Wizard books for my kid! Looks like now is a good time to do it.

@dduane also wrote some terrific Star Trek novels if you ever want to pick those up. But I may be time to introduce my kid to her Young Wizards series.
