edit data

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 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, with 1,284 copies sold.

A Front Porch Chat

I had the good fortune to come across the path of the lovely author Sherri Hollister not long ago.
We got to chatting and with a bit of cajoling I managed to get her to agree to interview me for her series of Front Porch Chats to authors.
Sherri asks some pretty deep questions and her interviews are always well thought out and above all informative.

You can read mine here:-
