He Blinded Me With Science - by Brinda Berry

I love science and have gotten hooked on the Big Bang Theory - so when Brinda showed me this awesome post, I was excited to share it with you all! Here's Brinda!

I'll confess any day of the week to being a science geek. Wearing the geek banner proudly, I listen to science podcasts, watch the Discovery Channel, and marvel at exhibits in science museums. Admittedly, I'm not Sheldon Cooper (of Big Bang Theory TV show) geeky, but I do love technology.

A fascination with science is something that Tara and I have in common. Naturally, we've both included versions of futuristic technology in our novels. In my new release, Watcher of Worlds, Mia Taylor and her friends are exposed to many exciting and new technologies that may or may not be far from reality.  In one scene, there is a demonstration of quantum levitation.  This was one of my favorite scenes to write because I love the possibilities of using this very real technology in the future.

Writing this scene wasn't my first exposure to quantum levitation. When my son was younger, he did a science project and built his own quantum levitation maglev track. We still have it in our attic. Just talking about it makes me want to dig through all the goodies stored up there. Or maybe not. I don't have to wade through attic boxes to see a demo. We have YouTube! Check this out.

Thanks for having me here today at Tara's place. Science geeks unite!

It was my pleasure. That is so cool! And I can't believe your son did a science project on it. Brilliance runs in your family! 

Here's more about Brinda and her cool, new YA Sci Fi book! (check out the first two books in the series, too!)

Senior year should bring fun, friends and happiness. Not portals, treachery, and murder.

Seventeen-year-old Mia Taylor, gatekeeper to an interdimensional portal, wants nothing more than to heal from her romance gone wrong. Illegally falling for her co-worker Regulus had been a huge mistake. But when Regulus goes rogue to hunt down a murderer, Mia must forget her broken heart and use her unique abilities to save him. Traveling across dimensions, she enters a strange and hostile world where a rebel faction holds the key to their escape. Her gift of synesthesia is in high demand, and a secret organization of the otherworldly kind has her in their sights. But sabotage and murder may be the least of her worries. Her ex-boyfriend wants a relationship. Her dad wants her to act normal. Her friends want her to stop moping. Who knew faking happy would be the easiest part of senior year?
