My Scylla and Charybdis soundtrack has a variety of selections, from songs about the overall arc to those focused on specific characters and situations ... but there's one group of songs that I can only describe as bratty.
With a male dominated and female dominated society, and Anaea's female-only home, the topic of gender comes up a fair amount, and I just had to add a few classics:
It's Raining Men - Geri Halliwell
There Is Nothing Like A Dame - South Pacific soundtrack
There's one song in this vein that's a little more serious (a *little*). It's a song I've always liked, and even if it doesn't exactly fit - in fact, the setting here is almost inverted from Anaea's experience - I love the message enclosed of being brave and exploring new possibilities:
Us Amazonians - Kirsty MacColl
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).
