About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).

Ray Bradbury: YES.

The ships hung in the sky exactly the way bricks don't.
Yes, I can do alarming portions of the Hitchhiker's series from memory, why do you ask. ;-)
The source for that quote, btw, was a dog-care place I recently entered - one of those motivational posters with an adorable picture of (I think) goldens romping. But it is, whatever way, a lovely quote.
