My husband and I both grew up on your series, and now we have introduced our 10-yr-old to them. I remember sneaking off during recess to read Deep Wizardry in junior high. I got in trouble for that, but it was worth it. For the first time, I had really connected with a character. I was bullied for a long time and wished that I had magic to protect myself with. Your books are dear to me for this reason: when I had no friends, I could count on Nita and Kit. I lived in your world far longer than in my own. The Wizard's Oath became sort of a guide for how I chose to live my life back then. Later on, I would meet real witches, of both genders, and find my niche, but your message stayed with me. Your books inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and start living in this world. So, quite honestly, you are my hero... (^_^)
(15 years later, being unconventional and bit geeky is actually perceived as a good thing... go figure.)
