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).

This is a great story! I really felt so Pillan. Did you think of "pillar" when you named him? Because a steward kind of is a pillar.
And I love this line, "For the first time he was the eye of the storm." I love how you compare people to storms.
I think that was in the back of my head, but it wasn't a conscious choice. I've always found it harder to name male characters than female ones ...
Thanks! This story was one of my favorites (I know, it's like favoring children, but I can't help it) and I was very happy to see it find a home.
