Lindsey Duncan is a lifelong writer, chef / pastry chef (CPC CSW), and professional Celtic harp performer, with short fiction and poetry in several speculative fiction publications. Her soft science fiction novel, Scylla and Charybdis, is available from Grimbold books. She feels that music and language are inextricably linked. She lives, performs, and teaches harp in Cincinnati, Ohio. She can be found on the web at www.LindseyDuncan.com/writing.htm Some of my favorite SF/F authors include Jasper Fforde, Lois McMaster Bujold, Jane Linkskold, Laura Resnick, Terry Pratchett and Jana Oliver. Esther Friesner is my favorite short story author, hands down, no contest, end of story. Dave Duncan (no relation) has the Dodec duology, which is (to me) is the best ilustration of, "Story is a force of nature," that I've ever seen. I also enjoy mysteries - historical and (in the modern era) humorous cozy-styles. As far as historicals, my heart belongs to Cadfael (Ellis Peters). In the other arena, I am inordinately fond of Alina Adams' skating mysteries. I am an avid reader of anthologies - anthologies are awesome! Support any anthology you can find! - and I have to single out "Murder By Magic" edited by Rosemary Edghill.
