Careless Magic: A Shoplifter's Guide to Wizardry
Jennifer Knight is in danger of losing everything and everyone important to her.After battling warrior elves and high wizards on Magus, she thinks she might have an edge when she returns to Earth; she is wrong.
LaPointe and her wizards are threatening to close the portals between worlds, and they need Jennifer to make it happen. The best thing she can do is lie low, but that is not her style.
With no word about her missing werewolf boyfriend, and her house under gnome surveillance, Jen strikes out on her own to infiltrate the wizards and find answers. Her plans go awry because of an impulsive decision, and not even the help of friendly elves or a determined troll can forestall the terrible consequences.
Despite augmenting her deadly skills, Jen soon discovers that Earth's magic is fickle, and trusting anyone is nearly impossible when wizards can control minds. In the aftermath of a terrible showdown with the werewolves, Jen learns the consequences of using Careless Magic.

About the author
Ty Burson
23 books18 followersTY BURSON was born in Riverside, California. His mother and her family emigrated from Canada, while most of his father’s people hailed from Oklahoma. After completing an Associates Degree in general education, Ty joined the Air Force. Ty signed on to be a Russian Crypto-logic Linguist, went off to basic training, and eventually ended up in Monterey, California. It was there that Ty met his future wife, Kerri.
Ty finished his Bachelor’s degree before leaving the Air Force. Eventually, four kids and a couple of career changes later, Ty went back to school, got his teaching certification, joined the Air National Guard, and began teaching middle school in Florissant, Missouri.
It was at a conference for middle school teachers that Ty got the idea for a lucky dragon that protected a fishing village. A protagonist with a stutter and a demon came along much later. While the novel got shelved when Ty decided that he had to have a Doctorate in Education, it never entirely left his mind—as few wonderful ideas ever do.
Currently, Ty and his family live in Maryland, where he continues to teach after completing his Doctorate and retiring from the Air National Guard in 2011. Ty is known for entertaining his students with funny poems and stories, and for wearing bizarre, entertaining ties.

I cried!
Jen’s choices have started to leave some heartbreaking results. I know I cried, don’t be surprised if you do too. Jen has found herself in a world of trouble and I can’t wait to see what the author has planned.
