Lyndenn Behm grew up on a mixed farm in western Saskatchewan. His boyhood was in the 1960s but he later spent more than 20 years writing about small towns and farms on the Prairies. In 1993 he married his current wife, an Anishinaabe woman from a Manitoba First Nation. This gave him a deeper understanding of rural life. His short stories describe rural life as it once was and how it has become. Some stories are touching, others are hysterical. The big fish in a small pond theme is common. As Lyndenn says: "Sometimes you can do a better job of showing what reality is like by using fantastic fiction rather than fact."
