While cleaning out my shelves and my desk drawer, I discovered some funny things, some bizarre things, and some cool things. Among them:
Ultima IV for the Apple II GS. All materials, including cloth map and vellum-bound spell guide. In the original box.
A copy of Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" with ownership signatures from my aunt, my grandmother, and her mother.
A case for holding 3.5" diskettes. Yeah, that's useful.
A folder with sheets of cherry-picked fairy-tales photocopied out of various sources, including multiple Lang fairy books.
Two copies of the Poetic Edda. I think one is not mine.
The moisture sponge that is supposed to go into my harp during winter months. Oops.
A small collection of Spanish and English coins. (Hey, this coin has a hole in it!)
I apparently followed Renaissance magazine avidly for a while. I have something like twelve issues.
Also found my Marion Zimmer Bradley Fantasy magazines. Squee. I am so reading these.
I have that many Pratchett books? Since when? Grant that it's been a tradition that when I fly, I buy a Pratchett for the trip, but ... really?
For a form of fiction that's supposedly tough to sell, I have a massive anthology collection.

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).
