I'm on my final editing pass for Unnatural Causes. This is a targeted pass, to smooth out the additions from the previous pass and to cut unnecessary fat. Since the novel is at 98,000 words and a bit of change, I'm in a different position than I usually am: rather than looking for what I can cut that won't hurt the story, I'm looking for what I can cut that will help the story.
So in honor of that, here's (one of) the quirky song(s) that I put down as a themesong for my narrator, Vil. It's inside out and topsy-turvy, much like Vil herself even before the chaotic events of the novel:
Anywhere Is - Enya
This music video also gets thumbs up from me for actually connecting to the music. Nothing drives me more nuts when the music tells one story and the video another ...
Well, all right. People who say things happen "on accident" drive me more nuts.

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).
