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).

Excellent, congratulations!
I was curious though, how did you break into the published author game?
No real secret there: submissions, persistence and following guidelines to a T - and occasionally putting disclaimers in when I wasn't sure I was reading correctly, because my brain seems to parse what it's reading oddly.
I've used Ralan.com for market information for a long time (though there are others out there) and ninety-five percent of my submissions are to the open venues there.
Woohoo! Congrats.
Thanks!
Congratulations!
