My clever plan to conceal my Mother's Day gift in my mother's keyboard tray went horribly awry.
I knew I had to act fast, because she was talking about going out and purchasing the book I left for her. So I asked her to check something for me.
Turns out she only needed the mouse. Never pulled the tray out.
So I, thinking frantically, suggested she go on Borders.com and look for a coupon. She tells me to do it. I pull out the tray.
Mother talks blithely, looking up, looking down, never once at the keyboard. "What do you want me to do?" says she.
And I reply, finally at my wit's end, "Will you LOOK at the left side of your keyboard?"
Yep, that finally did it.

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).
