Kawlin Rolfe (Kwalin11)

Kawlin is a canadian author that has lived most of his life in Nova Scotia. He moved to NS as a child from Inuvik, NWT.

After graduating the Transition Year Program at Dalhousie in 2011 Kawlin began to find outlets for his creative pursuits. As of 2015 Kawlin has been a graduate of the Energy Sustainability Engineering Technology program through NSCC.

At a young age Kawlin began taking interest in creative endeavours, painting, fixing bicycles, and writing. Growing up in a rural area of NS allowed for plenty of time to read and fine tune various areas of interest.

Literature and the authors behind its work has always acted as a driving force in Kawlin's understanding of writing. Through inspirational writers such as Charles Bukowski, Chuck Palahniuk, Stephen King and J.R. Tolkein, Kawlin found methods and styles that influenced his own work.

Kawlin also discusses subject matter such as 'what is reality', 'what defines us', and 'how society shapes us', particularily with reference to authors and existentialists Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Phillip K. Dick.

As a Canadian Aboriginal citizen, Kawlin is an advocate for nature awareness and the beauty of natural surroundings. Through travel and family, Kawlin believes we must always view our surroundings with a certain respect and wonder.

Currently Kawlin is the main editor for a blog called "The PS Buzz' It is currently being hosted on blogger.com (http://psbuzz1984.blogspot.ca/). (The PS Buzz is dedicated to news on current important & unimportant events! Please check it out if you are intereseted!)

As a child of the 'computer/internet age" (not 'intranet')Kawlin has also taken the idea of writing a bio in the third person rather seriously.

A Short Story- My Room

Although I still manage to work out the odd short story, I feel I've been slacking and have been working poetry or a novel I've been putting off. So, I've decided to share an old short I'm fond of.

Public Works

It's a silly concept, but the impact of 'androids' in modern society is rather interesting. How would we react if a group of 'said-beings' developed abilities to co-exist with us?

  Come one come all, into the bazaar and see my tricks and treats. My story is enough, hopefully just, to scare and unsettle, to spook and terrorize, take measure, because here be horror! Have fun, and Happy Halloween!

  Ah right, how to surmise: a dedication to Lovecraft, Howitt, King, Stine, Rice and wine. "These are the rooms of ruin to which spiders spin..." I hope you enjoy what I like to think of as the B-Reel to my story 'Pollock Farm on a Starless Night'. .

  Pollock Farm on a Starless Night

  "The sheriff’s intervention comes under the heading of what we have discussed many times before: “Why don’t they go to the police?” I’ve always replied, “They don’t go to the police because it’s dull.”" -Alfred Hitchcock; to which I say, well we have Mounties.

  Witch craft fascinates me. I also enjoy a good story, and when I start writing one, I always ask myself: am I having fun? Thankfully, with this one, I felt a resounding -YES. I hope that you remember: it might have teeth.
