Simon Leigh I’m a former university professor, writing full-time in Toronto. From Melbourne, Australia, I was educated way beyond my intelligence at Sydney University, Oxford and the University of New Brunswick. Thirteen years at universities ended in a construction job digging drains, then thirteen years as a racing driver ended in a concrete wall at Mosport. I now ski race and play valve trombone.

My poems and stories have appeared in The Fiddlehead; the Antigonish Review; etc. and four anthologies. My three poetry books are The Bleeding Clock, Dying Flowers and Short Strokes.

My novel Wild Women: a memoir with six lies was published by UKAPress, 2005 and in a new edition in 2007. Two new novels, The Killing, and Dance Me are with an agent, and a play, Stalker, is being produced.
