Cynthia McQuillin

Cynthia McQuillin was a filk singer and writer as well as an author and artist. She lived in the San Francisco Bay area. Her songs touched the usual filk topics of science fiction, fantasy, and cats, but also feminism, love, Paganism, and Sizeism.
Her life partner and frequent musical collaborator was the filk singer James Robinson, who was then known as Dr. Jane Robinson. McQuillin reportedly said, upon meeting James for the first time, "At last I get to meet the man I fell in love with!"
Cynthia was inducted to the Filk Hall of Fame at FilKONtario in 1998.
A book of songs by McQuillin, title The Cynthia McQuillin Songbook was compiled and published by Lee Gold in 2013, but is now out of print.
