Alex Norton, Paranormal Tech Support v1.0 by willgreenwald

Wizards, vampires, fairies, and their supernatural peers have always had trouble with modern technology. Alex Norton is the guy they turn to for computers and phones that won't explode in their hands. Paranormal tech support is frustrating when your clients are centuries older than your grandparents and can light you on fire with a thought, but at least the pay is good. When Alex's best friend and former partner dies unexpectedly, he's left with plenty inherit. There's a house, a pile of old gadgets, and plenty of books. Oh, and a niece he's never met, who he has to take as an apprentice and serve as her guide to the world of the Weird. Note: This is a first manuscript, and the first completed draft at that. It hasn't been fully edited, and there are a few structural tweaks I'm still mulling over. Consider this a beta more than a full release candidate.
