Praise for Neutrino Warning:

This prelude can be enjoyed as more or less a stand-alone even if readers don't know a Tokamak from an autoclave. The author is a scientist in real life and a prolific author of largely whimsical romps incorporating concepts of physics and probability. Smith delivers a nicely casual voice ... and highly advanced science in doses manageable and nonpedantic enough for general readers.
An engaging tale featuring cli-fi, college intrigue, romance, and particle physics.-- Kirkus Reviews


Praise for Kat Cubed:

In Smith's sci-fi tale, an experiment opens portals to alternate universes and three variations of the same young woman struggle in environments warped by climate change. ...Smith, a physicist, effectively invests the tangled yarn with brio, imagination, and doses of real-life science.
A wheels-within-wheels yarn that ... sure takes readers for a spin.--Kirkus Reviews

                             Kat Cubed

        How much does your world affect who you are?

In Kat Garcia's twenty-second century world only the Rocky Mountains are above sealevel, and the sun is hot enough to kill anyone who ventures outdoors. Kat goes through a portal seeking bullets to arm herself and keep her friends safe from the decayed remnants of the government.

In Kaitlin Garcia's world, the Unified States is constantly bombarded by severe storms. Kaitlin goes through a portal in order to implement her climate mitigation strategy before her world is rendered uninhabitable.

In Katherine Garcia's world, only draconian government control over the citizens has kept the droughts, floods, and diseases from killing them. Katherine goes through a portal seeking nuclear fusion, the key to throwing off the oppressive governmental yoke.

When the actions of the three Kats start to unravel their universes, can they join forces and save them all?
