Lesley L. Smith

All right, I confess! I love physics. I blame my misspent youth reading science fiction by the likes of Asimov, Heinlein, and Clarke. Not surprisingly, I also love science fiction. I grew up in Missouri, in a family of overeducated overachievers. Following in their footsteps, I've earned far too many degrees including an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Elementary Particle Physics and an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction. Hmm? I may have a split personality. The evidence shows I've authored or co-authored many scientific articles, and am a longtime member of the American Physical Society. I'm also a founder and editor of the speculative fiction ezine http://www.electricspec.com and a longtime member of the Science Fiction/Fantasy Writers of America. Both sides of my personality live in Boulder, Colorado where I do physics by day and science fiction by night. Please visit me on the web at http://www.lesleylsmith.com.

Lucky In Love

I showed up at work at Qubyte, Inc. at the crack of dawn, as usual. I'd dressed up a little in a skirt, nice blouse, and faux-leather jacket. My mom always said, 'Dress for the job you want.'

The receptionist, Avery, said, Morning, Ella, as usual, as I walked by her big desk in the lobby. Looking good. She was very fashionable and would fit in better in New York City than in humble Kansas City, so if she said I looked good, it meant something.

Hey, Avery, I said back to her. Right back at you. Looking good.

Back in our lab, I
