About Kane
Kane Williams believes that the pen is mightier than the sword (and asks that you kindly don’t tell Excalibur he said that).
Perils of the Past is his debut fast-paced fantasy novel. It was published on 23 May 2025. For the draft manuscript, Kane was a 2023 Killer Nashville Claymore Award Finalist for Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy.
He also pens flash fiction and the occasional short story. His flash fiction piece, Rice & Ice, won a competition held by Press 53 and was featured in Prime Number Magazine as well as in the anthology What Dwells between the Lines.
Previously, he wrote non-fiction and was published by Thomson Reuters in 2018.
He lives in Sydney, Australia with his wife.
