About the Author

Leopold McGinnis wishes he was good at writing bios. Because then he’d tell you how he independently wrote, illustrated, published and promoted three novels—The Red Fez, Game Quest and Bad Attitude—in literary obscurity. Then he’d allude to his several years of literary activism in the underground as the founding editor of Red Fez Publications and founding member of The Guild of Outsider Writers, including his brief but crazy stint with the always outrageous Underground Literary Alliance. Perhaps he’d write his bio in rhyming couplet, or paint a picture big enough to swallow the black hole of his nihilism. Yes, with one simple bio he would catch in a sack all the fluttering questions that beat their black wings against the pink, red and orange of his daily sunsets. Yes, yes, yes. He would.
