If it's possible, then it's not far-fetched. Is it likely to happen? That's where imagination comes in.<br />I've never had a problem with the science in Michael Crichton's work, even "Jurassic Park" and "Micro."FCEtierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199098303138353894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447544468792389936.post-89150430506410286642014-06-16T02:28:21.284-07:002014-06-16T02:28:21.284-07:00Hi Heather, thank you ! :-)Hi Heather, thank you ! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922888671399516573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447544468792389936.post-88104410667588065252014-06-16T02:28:04.024-07:002014-06-16T02:28:04.024-07:00Thanks so much Kimberly!

And the really cool thing is how you approach it: layman's terms. It must take a great deal of extra work to keep the science understandable for non-science types. Do you have beta readers from both camps--to critique the science, and to critique the story AND the understandability of the science?<br /><br />Great post, Elena, and I'm looking forward to another Track Presius Mystery!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this, and thanks to Chip, and to Venture Galleries for making it all happen!Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.com
