Don Kane is an author, researcher, educator and IT professional. As a child, he remembers talking with his father about his role in World War II. His father replied, "I was in the Canadian Secret Service, trained at Camp X, and the Halifax Explosion wasn't an accident." This, combined with a later position with the National Museums of Canada's Discovery Train Project, sparked an interest in Canada's role in World War I. Kane researched the Halifax Explosion, and the larger political environment of that era, to provide the backbone for his book.
Kane taught "The Business of Being An Artist" for the Extensions Department of the Nova Scotia College of Art And Design. He was the 2nd executive director for Visual Arts Nova Scotia, and edited the "Visual Arts News". He has written articles for Halifax Magazine. His poetry has been published in Redbook Magazine. Kane was also a Founding Member of both C.F.N.S. (Cultural Federations of Nova Scotia) and S.I.A.N.S. (Software Industry Association of Nova Scotia).
Kane lives with his wife in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where his family has lived since the 1860s. This is his first novel.
