This website offers information about Len Wilson and his creative work.
Author Leonard W. Wilson is a BC-based fiction writer who took to writing late but with the enthusiasm and drive of an early bloomer. In the past few years, he has written many novels but has published only two. In both, young adults feature in a prominent manner.
Len says that by writing history-based fiction for young adults, he is bringing portions of our history to the young that may not be available to them in most history books. In his novels, there is the 'feel' of the time and place; and, how certain kids, teens and adults viewed important historical events such as the Second World War and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
Another motivation for Len Wilson to write teen novels is that it gives him the opportunity to develop 'an action adventure far different from computer games'.
Len's works in progress include varying themes but you will notice that youth and historical fiction are a constant in most of his writing projects.
The first chapters of the two novels are available for your reading pleasure:
Chapter 1 of 'The Realms of Flimenia, Jeremy's Journey'
Chapter 1 of 'A Reluctant Revolutionary'
