The New Millennium Edition of the first Young Wizards novel, So You Want to Be a Wizard, is now available in ebook format from the online Ebooks Direct store at DianeDuane.com!
This is not a rewrite of the book, but a polish and update intended to bring SYWTBAW into the new century by modernizing its setting and establishing it as the beginning of a new and much more consistent timeline, thus making it more accessible for its newest readers. It also contains exclusive new material that does not appear in the original 1983 edition. The beautiful new cover is by noted German graphic artist Niko Geyer.
For much more information about the update, please see under the cut! You can also access this new podcast interview at GeekDad, where the updating of the book is discussed in some detail toward the end of the podcast: and the "Wizards in a New Millennium" interview with Kelly Knox at GeekMom.
Please also note that during this launch period, the Ebooks Direct store is also offering a 20% discount on the complete 9-volume Young Wizards International Edition ebook set. Just use the discount code LAUNCH at checkout. (Info on how to use the store discounts can be found here.)
