Here are the more seasonal works available at Ebooks Direct for the holiday season:
How Lovely Are Thy Branches: A Young Wizards Christmas:
JD 2455550.52 / December 20th, 2010...
It’s five days till Christmas, and the day before the 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 lightyears away who looks a whole lot like a Christmas tree.
As so often happens, 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 a newer work --
JD 2459186.50000 / December 2nd, 2020...
Tonight's the night when the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is about to be lit in an elaborate ceremony in midtown Manhattan. Like everything else in the COVID-stricken world of 2020, this tree lighting has been forced to differ from all the others that have preceded it.
But there's another reason this particular tree lighting will be unique. This tree is the one in which the tiny saw-whet owl the media christened "Rocky" was discovered, trapped, when the tree was set up two weeks ago.
The humans who helped "Rocky" and released her back into the wild had no idea of the forces about to be unleashed on New York City. For the one thing they couldn't give the owl was the one thing she wanted most: her tree.
As a result, she's been forced to take matters into her own claws. And it's going to take a crack team of New York's best and smartest wizards to keep the ensuing events from destabilizing the whole planet...
This 25,000 word novella is a canonical work in the Young Wizards universe and is set in the revised New Millennium Editions YW timeline.
