Clayton Graham
Science fiction author

As a youngster Clayton Graham read a lot of science fiction. He loved the ‘old-school’ masters such as HG Wells, Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov, and John Wyndham. As he left those formative years behind, he penned short stories when he could find a rare quiet moment amidst life’s usual distractions.

A retired aerospace engineer who worked in structural design and research, Clayton has always had an interest in science fiction and where it places humankind within a universe we are only just starting to understand.

Clayton loves animals, including well-behaved pets, and all the natural world, and is a member of Australian Geographic. He has won many book awards including Author’s Show ‘50 great writers you should be reading’, Readers’ Favorite International Award finalist, and Book Excellence Awards finalist.

Combining future science with the paranormal is his passion. ‘Milijun’, his first novel, was published in 2016 and is the exciting prequel to ‘Amidst Alien Stars’ and ‘Alien Whispers: Conflict and Communion’.

Space Opera novel, ‘Saving Paludis’, was published in 2018 and won a Readers’ Favorite International Book Award.

His books may be light years from each other but share the future exploits of mankind in an expansive universe as a common theme. In between novels Clayton has also published highly rated short story collections ‘Silently in the Night’ and ‘Looking for Life’, where, among many other adventures, you can sympathize with a doomed husband, connect with an altruistic robot, explore an isolated Scottish isle and touch down on a far-flung asteroid.

He hopes you can share the journeys.
