Good deed du jour

A couple of my friends, who are AWESOME authors, Diane Duane and Peter Morwood found out today that some cocksucker skimmers emptied out their bank account. It looks like their bank will do the right thing, (yay), but that takes time, (boo!)

However, there's a way, if you're so inclined, to help. They sell all almost all their non-Star Trek books, (yeah, I know, I'd love to buy THOSE direct from them as well, but not in their control) directly from their site. Go there, take a look, buy something. Seriously, the only thing over six bucks on the site is a copy of the International Edition of the Young Wizards, volumes 1-9. Everything else is six bucks or less, and it's all pretty damned awesome. My latest fave is Peter's "Tales of Old Russia", a great sword and sorcery collection, set in, duh, Old Russia. If that's too much, Diane even has a code in her tumblr post that gives you %20 off. But seriously folks, it's SIX DOLLARS for some good folks in a jam. Spend the extra Buck-Twenty, you'll have better karma. DRM-free .epub and .mobi.

(Seriously, if you have kids who are Harry Potter fans, or you are yourself, and you haven't read the Young Wizards series, I cannot, can not say enough good things about it. Magic + Science + New York = awesome.)
