Deven Kane plays a mean bass and loves to tell stories. He writes thrillers set in dystopian contexts, and urban fantasy, which he describes as “supernatural thrillers set on another world.”
“Speculative fiction allows me to explore human nature, interpersonal conflicts, the desire to rise above our circumstances, and the obstacles that hold us back,” he says. “No matter the setting—Earth’s near future, the past, or an alien culture on another planet—the most compelling stories are always about our interactions with each other. The good, the bad, the ugly, and our need to transcend.”
His novels include the dystopian Tracker Trilogy (Tracker, Dissident & Scorpion), and the urban fantasies Darkwood and Treehawke.
