Life-induced near-standstill.
The current scene of Scylla and Charybdis really has a fantasy court scene feeling, but it's unmistakably science-fiction. A nice blend. Not necessarily what I meant to do when I set out with the whole novel, but a pleasing result.
My hour-write yesterday surprised me and came out scifi, so I'll have at least one more story in that vein ... once I finish 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).

I've ventured into the sci fi realm from fantasy writing and I love it! I think it's a good place to branch out to.
I dabble in SF, but it's definitely not my strong suit. I went out of my comfort zone for Scylla and Charybdis, and there are times when I worry it's written *too* much with a fantastic mindset - but it's been a good project for me skillwise.
