News Release

GOSHEN — National award-winning novelists, Kathryn and Steven Cain, will visit Fables Books, 215 S. Main St., Goshen, to meet and greet readers. The Cains have published nine novels. The event will be from 6-8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7. Their visit is part of Goshen’s First Friday events.

The authors are recognized as finalists in the American Writing Awards, Outstanding Creator Awards, and honorable mention with the Hollywood Book Festival. Steven Cain chuckles when he mentions that Kathryn Cain received first place for the sexist character of her tiny faery, which she named Sally.

The married couple write side-by-side but separately, mainly during the Indiana winters. Kathryn Cain said, “While all our novels are fiction, we cover many genres.” Those include thrillers, science fiction, historical, romance, horror, inspirational and fantasy.

Their novels reside in the Indiana Authors room of the State Library along with the likes of Kurt Vonnegut, James Whitcomb Riley, and many others.

Analysis shows that Kathryn Cain writes like a cross between D. H. Lawrence and Upton Sinclair, while Steven Cain’s readers compare his writing style to Ernest Hemingway. All of Steven Cain’s books take place in fictional towns in Indiana. Several of Kathryn Cain’s do as well. “My romance novel takes place in a 13th-century castle, so it couldn’t take place in Indiana,” said Kathryn Cain.

The couple dedicated themselves to bringing the limelight to Indiana. Steven Cain added, “We all see stories about Paris, New York and Chicago. We write to bring mystery and intrigue to Indiana.”
