Author: Tom Kane
Tom Kane is a seasoned writer whose literary journey began at the age of eight with his first short story, Planet A for Acid. Armed with a pencil and notepad, he embarked on a lifelong passion for storytelling. Transitioning to a typewriter in his thirties, he penned tales whenever time allowed. It was the advent of the Kindle that spurred him to become an indie author and publish his debut novel, Operation Werewolf, based on his father's World War II experiences.
Drawing from personal and family narratives, Kane's writing evolved, exemplified by The Diary of a Debt Collector, inspired by his wife's professional encounters. This catalyst ignited a prolific period, yielding both fiction and non-fiction works.
During the Covid lockdown, Kane delved into historical fiction, crafting The Brittle Saga Trilogy comprising The Brittle Sea, The Brittle Land, and The Brittle Sky.
Currently, Kane's focus now lies on Midnight's Child (sequel to Walking Away from Midnight) his latest historical fiction endeavour poised to launch a promising series.
With an ever-expanding repertoire and a knack for weaving intricate narratives, Tom Kane invites readers to explore his diverse literary landscape, offering a glimpse into his writing style through his published works.
