When I started writing the Kane series I wanted to create books that echoed the kind of books I love to read, so think of action-adventure thrillers a la Clive Cussler & Russell Blake. I set my stories all over the world, which also mirrors my own life as a travel addict and thrill-seeker, and Kane, like me, has a degree in archaeology. Interesting fact; I’ve visited all the featured locations in the series myself. Unlike Hiram, however, I am not a master of martial arts. What readers will find are lightning-paced, internationally staged page-turners with real-world events and spectacularly exotic settings. Oh, and a cast of nefarious villains and a genuine action hero. I like to keep my readers guessing, and there’s never a dull moment when Hiram Kane’s involved.<br><br><b>Q:</b> Are the books standalone stories?<br><b>A:</b> They can be, yes, and can definitely be read independently from each other. But a few of the main characters feature throughout and the story threads all tie nicely together by the last instalment. Well, maybe there’ll be more ☺ If readers do want to read in the optimal order, I suggest the following sequence: The Tiger Temple, The Samurai Code, The Condor Prophecy, The Shadow of Kailash, The Feathered Serpent and Of Curses and Kings. Silent Knight is Hiram Kane's origin story, set 20 years before The Tiger Temple. To find out how it all began, grab Silent Knight today.<br><br><b>Q:</b> Why should readers give the Kane books a chance?<br><b>A:</b> Because Kane’s adventures are page-turning action-fests that pull no punches and would definitely appeal to readers who enjoy tales of real-world issues mixed with despicable bad guys and pulse-pounding action sequences. Oh yeah, the awesome power of Mother Nature plays a significant role in all the books. I loved writing them … I’m confident readers will love reading them!</p>
