Last Day On This Offer

HEY!

Back up your computer!

Go get the external drive you bought specifically for this purpose and then left in a drawer somewhere and RUN A FULL BACKUP.

There are lots of posts that make the rounds reminding us to sit up straight, stretch, drink water, refocus our eyes, take our meds, etc. But while this may not be about your health, it's still super-important.

Back up your whole-ass computer. If you can afford a second backup drive, buy one so that you have one SSD and one HDD, and back up to both of them (you can back up just the current important stuff to the SSD and let the HDD do the heavy-duty lifting).

Do not rely on 'the cloud' or the internet to keep jack shit.

AND BACK UP YOUR GMAIL AS WELL HOLY SHIT. The last thing you want is a catastrophic issue where literally every single thing you have in gmail is gone. It's happened. It happened to a friend of mine and basically her entire life was in there and now it's all gone. 20 years of it.

Just your reminder that these (ebook) prices will be on offer for only four more days... until at 23:59 Irish time on New Year's Eve, all prices in the store go back to their pre-discount levels.

Why not duck in there now and get a whole heap of reading while it's still cheap? And keep your local online semi-indie author from getting overly broke. :)

December 20, 2010: The blizzard of the century is on its way.

So are the aliens.

JD 2455550.52 / December 20th, 2010...

It’s five days till Christmas, and the day before the 2010 Winter Solstice. The biggest pre-Christmas blizzard seen for decades is heading straight for the New York metropolitan area. But in one small corner of the Town of Hempstead, everyone’s attention is on other business. That’s because there’s a party tonight at Juan and Marina Rodriguez’s house… and the guest of honor is a being from four hundred light years away who looks a whole lot like a Christmas tree.

The motive force behind the festivities is the redoubtable Carmela Rodriguez, intent on her longtime plan to fulfill one of the great wishes of the wizard known as Filif—to finally get him into a full set of Christmas decorations. The two-day party that ensues (with an epic sleepover in the middle) brings together a cast of old and new friends to eat, drink, exchange presents... and deal with a local holiday-season problem in a very wizardly way.

This 35,000 word novella is a canonical work in the Young Wizards universe and takes place between the events of A Wizard of Mars and Games Wizards Play. ...And at Ebooks Direct, you can now get it in a single package with the How Lovely Are Thy Branches Advent Calendar—a collection of twenty-five "behind the scenes" scenes that don't appear in the original work.

Contains:

Toxic vintage Christmas lights

Tales of why you should always shake the eggnog jug

Examples of finding just the right present

The revelation of unusual kinks

Headhunting for the intergalactic catering industry

Weird musical theater

And the answer to the ever-controversial question: What the heck is a mochteroof?

Get the How Lovely Are Thy Branches Christmas Package at Ebooks Direct for just $2.99!

These works also appear as standalone volumes in the "All The Wizardry" bundle.*

...UK readers: As usual, with regret, please note that due to Brexit, Ebooks Direct can no longer sell directly into the UK. (More details here.) However, if you're UK-based, you can obtain the Kindle print or ebook versions of Interim Errantry—which contains How Lovely Are Thy Branches—from Amazon.co.uk.

Meanwhile, if you've already got these items, or they're not up your alley, would you consider reblogging this so that others who might be interested can see it? Please & thank you!

Not the most relevant but what's funny is how "Swype" is what some of us use as the word for swipe typing on mobile despite the actual Swype keyboard having been defunct/dead for years now (it is actually literally incompatible/does not work on Android 14 now 😩)

this can't be true can it
