About Lesley Check out Lesley's Amazon Author page: www.amazon.com/author/lesleylsmith Check out her latest news! Lesley L. Smith is a physicist by day and a science fiction author by night, which means she spends a lot of time wondering whether her characters obey the laws of physics and whether her equations obey the laws of plot. She holds a PhD in particle physics and an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction, a combination that practically guarantees she will overthink both reality and story structure. She has written over a million words of speculative fiction, including multiverse shenanigans in Kat Cubed, quantum crime solving in The Quantum Cop, cosmic chaos in The Perils of Tiffani, and several other series involving time travel, alternate realities, luck machines, and at least one astronaut who quotes Shakespeare at aliens. Her short fiction has appeared in Analog, Daily Science Fiction, Nature Futures, and other venues that enjoy a good quantum quirk. She also edits for Electric Spec and lives in Colorado, where she works hard to keep her fictional worlds from staging a crossover event. She is grateful every day for the readers, writers, and science-curious dreamers who make this creative adventure worthwhile.   Read Lesley's former "About" page here.   ★   Sign up for Lesley's new email newsletter here. ★   © Lesley L.
