Nicholas Cain is an accomplished writer, photographer and communicator living in coastal Newfoundland with his wife and grandson.
He is a former journalist and has a masters level education in professional communications.
His fiction draws on a lifelong interest in science, place, people, and the strange edges of ordinary life. His work moves between novels and short stories, always aiming for fiction that is immersive, intelligent, and emotionally resonant.
Some stories begin with a question, others with an image, a conflict, or a possibility that feels just real enough to be unsettling. Nicholas Cain writes to explore those spaces — where the familiar shifts, and readers are asked to look again.
The Chains We Choose and snakefish were conceived while the family was living in the Okanagan region of British Columbia.
