About this author

Leopold McGinnis doesn't know much about art, but he knows what he likes. Unfortunately, it's usually not the same thing everyone else likes, so he's just had to make his own. This includes three novels, The Red Fez, Game Quest, and Bad Attitude, and a collection of poetry, Poetaster.

In his spare time Leopold roams across the postapocalyptic literary landscape in search of beating hearts as the founding editor of Red Fez Publications, the online aftermath of a bout of unemployment, rejection-induced literary cynicism, and an inexplicable optimism for artistic change. Born and raised in Calgary, he has lived just about everywhere, including Toronto, where he currently resides.
