A Quantum Gravity Novella

The human world got split up into eight loosely connected realities when something went awry in a supercollider. This accident created a new universe of split realities. The split affected not only the present but the past, so that it seemed these dimensions, or alternate worlds, had always existed alongside our own, with connections that were sometimes so porous it was possible to cross between. Among these worlds were: Otopia — the human Earth; Alfheim — a world of not-really-elves; Daemonia — a world of not-really-demons; Faery — home of the Fae; Zoomenon — a place of elements. Other worlds are partially or completely non-material, and fatal to 3-D life.

Quantum Gravity is the story of Lila Black, a human, who is swept up into the long-standing power struggles between populated humanoid worlds. She becomes the first human-machine hybrid lifeform (though not the last).

But this story is about Sorcha Ahriman, a demon, and successful singer of pop songs, who has only a small, if significant, part in that earlier tale, including her heroic demise.
