Scaramouche, the pen-name of writer and editor Richard Drummond, crafts narratives that capture the strange and extraordinary happenings one might witness from their own front lawn. He resides with his wife in a quaint country town in New Zealand, a setting that clearly informs his distinctive perspective.
