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.

Forget having a superpower, I was exhausted from my regular life teaching at the university and trying to be a good mom and wife.
It still felt like the beginning of the semester as February rolled around. I was learning my students' names, and they were getting the hang of showing up to class and studying and all the other college stuff.
When I sat down for dinner at the kitchen table--in the nick of time--I had to force myself to smile. We had a Phillipson family rule that everyone had to sit
