“I am Kain Massin, a retired high school teacher who’s been writing since I was a young teenager, and that was a long, long time ago. I have been a member of the Blackwood Writers Group since 1996.
I write short and long stories. (Unfortunately, despite good intentions, most of my short stories grow into the longer ones.) They’ve had success both here in Australia and overseas, and have been published in Canada — for a contest-winning story — and the USA — for the same story, published in David Hartwells Year’s Best Fantasy — and in Poland.
I also write novels, one of which — A God For The Killing — won the 2008 ABC Books Fiction Award.
I have edited and co-edited several anthologies, both for the Blackwood Writers Group and for an international anthology.
I am currently writing a series of books based around Judith, the main character from A God For The Killing.
'The Pandered' is, strangely, a short story. I don’t know how I managed such brevity.”
