About
Leopold McGinnis!
I have been writing for over 10 years and have had work published in
several online and offline poetry & prose journals. Game Quest
is my first book, although I previously published a novella: The
Red Fez.
Why did I write this book? I was a huge fan of 3D Adventure games when
I was young and wanted to work for Sierra when I grew up. But seeing as
how nobody was going to hire me when I was that young I turned to
writing as a creative outlet. I'm still not working for a gaming
company, but I'm still writing. In some ways, this book is an homage to
the games and game-creators who first inspired me.
In 2002, around the same time I was writing this novel, I started www.redfez.net,
an online database of writing from underground and independent writers,
to promote the type of work that is all too often ignored by the
corporate bookmakers and even, unfortunately, small presses.
In the past five years I have lived in Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria,
Tokyo, Manila, Ottawa and Toronto for no sane or profound reason. I'll
probably be moving to Edmonton soon. I am a member of the Underground
Literary Alliance.
If you're interested in reading more by me, or learning a bit more
about me, I invite you to visit www.leopoldmcginnis.com,
which has a whole schwackload of fun stuff to read. Try Searched or The
Chocolate Milk Challenge, or peruse my Stuff! section for parodies
& flash animations.

I'd love to hear what you think of Game Quest so far...
