Richard Scarsbrook is a Toronto-based fiction writer and poet. During the day, he teaches high school. By night, he writes fiction and poetry, acts in and directs theatre productions, plays the drums and harmonica, sings, and occasionally sleeps. Scarsbrook's work has been published widely in magazines and anthologies such as New Orphic Review, Nashwaak Review, Storyteller, Harpweaver, Backwater Review, NeWest Review, Zygote, Verbicide, Winners Circle 8 and 10, and Love and Longing in the Near North, and he has won a number of prizes and awards for his fiction and poetry. Richard's funny and thought-provoking first novel, Cheeseburger Subversive, was published by Thistledown Press (www.thistledownpress.com) in April, 2003. The rock 'n' roll adventures of Dak Sifter continue in Featherless Bipeds (Thistledown Press, 2006). Destiny's Telescope, a collection of Scarsbrook's prize-winning short fiction, was also published in Spring 2006 by Turnstone Press.
