Praise for Reality Alternatives:

"A college physicist uses computer technology to enter a parallel world in which she has a great family and an improved personal life--but also telekinetic superpowers that put all their lives at risk.
Smith , a physicist, here more or less asks: What is real life anyway? ...readers may find it sets up the open-ended finale on a properly tantalizing what if? note.
Dark energy disrupts domestic tranquility in a pleasant sci-fi diversion with a family-hour vibe."--Kirkus Reviews

      What would you do if you found your perfect life?

When lonely physicist Chloe Carsen discovers a parallel world she becomes addicted to her life there with a perfect family and a perfect career. She doesn't even care that her physical body in the real world is wasting away. But, then, in the alternative world her ideal life begins to fall apart. Her anti-gravity experiment unleashes a government manhunt for her and her family; they'll do anything to get their hands on her tech. The lives of Chloe's alternative-world husband and sons are endangered.

Chloe is torn away from them as her real-world brother finds her on the verge of death and destroys her equipment. Heartbroken and torn between two worlds, Chloe pushes her scientific expertise to the limit to find a way to reconcile her two lives. Can the husband and sons be saved? Can she build a life for herself in the real world?
