Help out Diane Duane...

[seawasp]

... a fine author of a number of books I have read (ranging from YA fantasy to Star Trek tie-ins), whose bank account was just emptied by persons unknown.

What you can do you will see at that link, but I'll repeat the vital info here for convenience:

"The bank will cover this expense when its fraud department has digested all the details. But meanwhile, the household is skint. So: if you feel inclined to spit in the eye of the nameless rogue(s) who’ve briefly ruined the domestic tranquility around here, I invite you you to go over to the Ebooks Direct store and buy something using the discount code DDGOTSKIMMED, which will give you 20% off whatever you buy."

So buy some neat eBooks and help someone out of a little crisis (the bank will eventually cover the loss).

I caught the news of that on Twitter yesterday. Ugh. I'd totally buy a couple of books on the sale but ... I don't own an eReader and don't plan to until the format war settles out. (Also until they make one that's solar-powered. My laptop is always running out of charge at the wrong moment, which is why I mostly use it on a desk, plugged in. Sigh.)

Thanks for a public service. Also, a note! Obscure Middle Kingdoms stories available there - I didn't know there were any, other than the Tale of the Five, which I loved. Yes, there is some really good stuff over there, especially with her husband Peter Morwood's yarns now added to the site.
