FYI; the International ebook edition of DEEP WIZARDRY is out

[dianeduane]

Since Harcourt only controls the North American rights to their editions of the YW ebooks and these can't be sold outside the US, we've started bringing out international editions that can be purchased by everybody else. So You Want to Be a Wizard, Wizard's Holiday and A Wizard of Mars are out already: and now Deep Wizardry is ready to go. (The books are coming online out of order because some of the origin files have been easier to convert than others.)

Deep Wizardry costs USD $5.35 and is available in Kindle / .mobi and Nook / iPad / .epub formats. More info at DianeDuane.com, or you can click here to go to the Deep WIzardry page at the DD.com shop.

(Just a note: if you've heard the scuttlebutt about a revised/updated edition of DW, be advised that this isn't it. That'll  be coming out later in the year. This version matches the text of the US editions.)

I don't know whether I'm in the minority here, but I've always felt that there was something appropriate about the tech/timeline oddities. I mean, I don't know much about Ireland, either now or fifteen-twenty years ago, but as far as the rest of it, I can't really see a better way to do a continuing, contemporary story.

Speaking of which, if you do intend to continue, I can only assume you'd want to re-update at some point. And I don't really think that juggling the old stuff over and over while also trying to move forward is wise, or best for the series itself.

But perhaps I am a special case. For several years I mostly read stuff that was written during or around World War II, and didn't have any problem with it. For that matter, I first picked up H. G. Wells a couple of years before YW. I suspect, now, that I wasn't ready for it yet, but the point is that I have no problem dealing with lower-tech assumptions.
