Born in Toronto in 1966, Kenn Crawford grew up in the coalmining town of Glace Bay on Cape Breton – an island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.

Kenn spent his childhood reading books and making up stories; a hobby that led to his love of writing – poetry, songs and short stories. Eventually, he began writing books and screenplays.

He wrote a weekly newspaper column about songwriting and home recording, and he was showcased in The Cape Bretoner Magazine as the featured songwriter.

In 2016, he took his love of making up stories to the next level by writing, shooting and directing short films. In 2018, he won a Canada Shorts Director’s Award of Commendation.

Kenn lives in his hometown of Glace Bay with his fiancé, Margie, shooting short films

There's no such thing as perfect so stop looking for the perfect opening, the perfect ending, the perfect dialog and so on... the only thing you have to do is finish it. Great stories are not written, they are rewritten. When you finish it, you can start over and make what you have a better - a better opening, a better ending, better dialog, better descriptions. But you have to finish it, so quite chasing perfection because you'll never catch it... a finished story is countless times better than a perfect idea.

The Children of Black Brook

The Children of Black Brooka Short Story by Kenn Crawford


Snow blanketed the night hiding most of the surroundings. The car heater’s steady drone that accompanied the rhythmic swishing of the windshield wipers sounded like a disembodied didgeridoo from Cadi’s native Australia.
