They\u2019re wrong. Dark conspiracies and ancient magic actually dominate this planet. My one mission in life is to open people\u2019s eyes to that fact.<\/p>\n<p>My name is Ken Magee and I tell people I write contemporary fantasies which blend adventure and humour with technology and magic. My books live under the tagline \u2018ancient magic meets the Internet\u2019. I pretend that they\u2019re works of fiction, because I&#8217;m afraid of the powerful people behind the conspiracies&#8230; I&#8217;m hoping a \u2018fiction\u2019 writer will slip under their radar.<\/p>\n<p>Up until the point when I discovered about the frightening plot which deliberately caused the recent global financial meltdown, I\u2019d led a fairly normal life. I\u2019d worked for many years in the computer industry in roles ranging from programming through to sales. In the middle of it all, I\u2019d served in the Naval Reserve&#8230; which was hard work, but fun. Then in 2010, I decided to make time to finish Dark Tidings, the book I\u2019d started many years earlier (writing not reading). I would have finished it sooner, but life got in the way. It\u2019s finished now (the book, not life).<\/p>\n<p>Dark Tidings is book one of the series. The Black Conspiracy and A Darker Shade of Black complete the &#8216;ancient magic meets the Internet&#8217;\u00a0trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to be kept up to date with new secrets, please sign up for the newsletter &#8211; the form is on the right.
