Don Bassingthwaite was born in Meaford, Ontario and now lives and works in
Toronto. Degrees in anthropology and museum studies didn't prepare him for a
career in publishing, but he has decided they are an excellent background for
writing speculative fiction. Bassingthwaite is a contributor to the
award-winning Bending the Landscape anthologies and the author of the dark
fantasy novels Such Pain, Breathe Deeply, and Pomegranates Full
and Fine. He shares a home with his partner, two cats, a wide assortment of
books and games, and a ridiculously well-stocked spice cupboard.
