First off, the witches have discovered that technology, and particularly the Internet, is a new mystical "element" like the basics of earth, water, air, and fire. Some witches -- particularly those who are programmers -- have an affinity for tech and can work magic there. And, the stories are simply good. There's a bit of romance, but no explicit anything. There's wholesome family interaction including a great deal of humor in trying to keep a precocious 1 year old witchling from burning down her house as she explores her affinity for fire magic.
In A Different Witch, the families at Witch Central meet a young witch who comes to them for training. Beth simply doesn't fit in, which doesn't surprise her at all since she's struggled with her Asperger's all of her life. As she learns to trust her trainers and as they learn to respect that she approaches magic very differently, everyone grows a bit.

Sounds intriguing... I may check that out sometime in the future.
I've finished
The Stone of Darkness by Resa Nelson; which took me a little while to get into... I was put off by the name of the bad guys; about halfway through, I got back into the groove and quickly blew through the fourth book in the series,
The Dragon's Egg. The invader king was a bit over the top and idiotic... it's hard to imagine him actually winning and building an army considering his behavior through these books.
