Professor Grady and the Gravity Gun
John Hardison has always wanted to write. Growing up with Star Trek, he has always had his head in the stars. As a professional, the author has had nothing to do with writing fiction, only technical documents and blogs. The idea of writing, of sitting down and putting thought to paper, had always been a task too daunting to overcome until he joined a local writer's club. There, he was encouraged to put pen to paper and began to write short stories. One of them, The Teddy Bear Dance, won a local competition with Bethesda Magazine, encouraging him to set his goals higher and complete his first novel. Inspired by his own daughter's character and arguments he had as a youth with an astronomer who believed gravity was a particle, not a force, Hardison has written Professor Grady and the Gravity Gun. The first in a series of books involving a teenage girl swept up by a time traveler from an alternate 19th century where debunked laws of physics are their hard reality. Hardison has an impressive collection of Star Trek memorabilia and is finishing a series of Star Trek short stories. He is also working on the second adventure for Melina and the professor as they slip over the speed of light and discover a universe very different from their own.
