Praise for Conservation of Luck:

In this sci-fi novel, a revolutionary new technology has unforeseen consequences as a young scientist creates a "quantum" computer that endows her with unusually good luck.
"To earn her master's degree, youthful Ella Hote, a researcher in the U.S. heartland, has built a suitcase-sized quantum computer. ...[For] real-life physicist Smith ... her novels and series that riff on quantum mechanics and Erwin Schrodinger strangeness are fun little mind tricks and thought experiments, part George Gamow at his more fanciful crossed with chick lit.
...Entertaining, femalecentric, escapist reading for poolside."--Kirkus Reviews


Lesley's interviewed over at Lauren's Bookshelf about Conservation of Luck here. "My new novel Conservation of Luck addresses the whole intriguing concept of luck..."

         Conservation of Luck

For every good fortune, there's an equal and opposite misfortune.

As a brilliant young computer scientist working on her master's degree, Ella Hote doesn't believe in luck. But when bizarre accidents, insane coincidences, and weird encounters with improbably handsome strangers start to happen all around her, even hardheaded Ella has to change her mind.

She comes to realize she's inadvertently created a luck generating computer that can make even the longest of long shots pay off.

Unfortunately, for every stroke of good luck, someone else pays the price in bad luck.

Ultimately, when lives are on the line, how far will she go?
