Asher Kane
International crime fiction that hits harder than it should.
Asher Kane writes international crime action thrillers that span continents, cross jurisdictions, and leave nothing clean.
His debut series, The BLACKFRAME Chronicles, follows Interpol Senior Investigator Kenji Nakamura and his elite multinational task force as they hunt tech-savvy killers operating in the blind spots of the digital world. Five books. Six continents. No safe ground.
Kane’s fiction is built on technical authenticity, relentless pacing, and characters who earn every scar.

About This Name
Asher Kane is a pen name of Martin Balome, founder of Caliana Press.
The CRITICOM books are procedural and patient. The BLACKFRAME Chronicles are neither. The separate name is a promise about pace — crime and action, harder and faster, and a reader picking one up should not expect the other.
Caliana Press publishes under six names. Every one of them is Martin.
