In the name of randomness, the first sentences of a few of my recent projects.
The opening of Butterfly's Poison, a fantasy intrigue novel set in a world with advancing technology:
Being shipwrecked, the thought rose to the surface of Miayde’s mind, had a dismaying impact on her dignity.
From The Swan Maiden:
The advantage to madness is that it gives the afflicted the potential to be invisible.
From Flow, my contemporary fantasy novel-in-progress:
On bad days, the world around Kit vibrated in sympathy, a stray shudder from the windows or knick-knacks taking a swan-dive off the cabinet.
And from Polestar:
When the star-heiress returned to the city of Gwynora, she was no longer a figure of purity, protected from the touch of any mortal substance.
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).

The shipwreck one is priceless. Priceless. The one with Kit is intriguing, like I'd like to see where it goes from there.
