Graham L. Wilson

Greetings, and thank you for visiting my page - though I would prefer you look over my work as well. I am a twenty year old heterosexual male from Central Alberta, Canada - west of Edmonton, though I have New Zealand citizenship by descent. I am a rancher and a poultry farmer, and that is one of the main themes of my written work: the decline but perseverance of the family farm. The other is that I come from a long line of technically-minded people, and have a general scientific and engineering interest. Both are reflected in my chosen pseudonym, and yes I am rallying against some definitions in an attempt to reclaim peasant as a unifying term for rural people. I am also an atheist and a socialist, so that influence will certainly show up in my works.

I took to writing in 2008 as a way of expressing myself, first in the form of fan fiction I wrote (http://blood-wiki.org/Shogo/Expanded-Canon/ ) for the excellent old anime-inspired game Shogo: Mobile Armour Division, but soon decided to start playing around with my own ideas; fan fiction is an excellent way for anyone to start writing, so I highly recommend it. In general, these take four forms: romantic short stories wherein I work out some of my isolated angst, political fables or otherwise tales with opinionated subtexts, the occasional attempt at humour, and finally articles I write for the People's Voice periodical. I am not one to try and write general examples of a genre, like say horror or science fiction. I like many genres, but feel that the wide array of examples of these to be found here, and elsewhere, mean that I should only write things that I feel are personally unique; or, in the case of my politics, expressing and suggesting my own ideas of life and society. I may also post the occasional essay, but my thoughts evolve and change in such a way that makes me not inclined to put things in hard print.
