Synopsis

What happens when ancient magic meets the internet? One thing is certain, modern life will never be the same again.

A thousand years ago, a young thief, Tung, and a disgraced wizard, Madrick, are thrust together in an executioner’s dungeon. In the darkness, Madrick reveals an incredible secret about a legendary spell. The great spell helps them escape their prison cell… and eventually their century.

Catapulted into the present day, their lives collide with Michael, a computer hacker who plans to destroy the world’s largest bank. But sinister people are tracking their every move and they will stop at nothing to steal their spell.

Funny and frightening, Dark Tidings is book one of the spellbinding ‘ancient magic meets the Internet’ trilogy.

What is the Tag Line for your book? (A short description of your book in a sentence or two)

They stole millions from the world's richest bank, infected the Internet with ancient magic and wrecked our modern way of life… and they're the good guys.

Do you write full time or part time

Part-time

How do you structure your day when you write

I try and set aside a two-hour block somewhere during each day. Like most writers, this can be difficult because real life gets in the way.

Why do you write? (Example; For fun, to make extra money, a personal experience you want to share with the public)

Mainly for fun, but I do harbour an enduring dream that someday, someone will want to make a move/TV series out of my 'ancient magic meets the Internet' series.

What are you working on right now / or your most recent work

I've changed from my usual humorous fantasy genre to an adult adventure. It begins with someone on death row in Thailand, but quickly moves to a UK-based thriller.

What inspired you to create this book

I'd like to say personal experience, but my friends and family would be shocked, so I'll say 'I don't really know' instead.

What genre do you write in and why did you choose it

Mainly humorous fantasy which I choose because it's the genre I love to read. In particular, I'm a massive fan of the late, great Terry Pratchett.

About the Author

Ken.magee

Most folk believe that technology rules their lives. They’re wrong. Dark conspiracies and ancient magic actually dominate this planet. My one mission in life is to open people’s eyes to that fact. 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 ‘ancient magic meets the Internet’. I pretend that they’re works of fiction, because I’m afraid of the powerful people behind the conspiracies… I’m hoping a ‘fiction’ writer will slip under their radar. Up until the point when I discovered about the frightening plot which deliberately caused the recent global financial meltdown, I’d led a fairly normal life. I’d worked for many years in the computer industry in roles ranging from programming through to sales. In the middle of it all, I’d served in the Naval Reserve… which was hard work, but fun. Then in 2010, I decided to make time to finish Dark Tidings, the book I’d started many years earlier (writing not reading). I would have finished it sooner, but life got in the way. It’s finished now (the book, not life). Dark Tidings is book one of the series. The Black Conspiracy and A Darker Shade of Black complete the ‘ancient magic meets the Internet’ trilogy.
