About the Author:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cagey Magee
Young Adult Mystery, Literary Fiction
Author, editor, teacher, virtuoso, Mr. Cagey Magee, graduated from modestly bookish, obnoxious kid to obsessive young-adult reader at around the age of eleven. He lived not far from an excellent library filled with novels that led him to faraway universes and fascinating people. He devoured them—the novels, not the people—and soon became obsessed with writing his own horror, young adult, mystery-thriller, and coming-of-age stories.
Cagey’s first novel came in at the size of two long books. He quickly learned the error of his ways when he needed to print the thing out and carry it. His current novels are more compact but still a little offbeat. He inevitably falls in love with his characters and really hates to kill them. For Cage, the near future holds infinite marvels. No one is all good or all bad. He loves them for who they are and where they go next, and hopes his readers will hang in there for the bumpy ride.

DEATH BY FUGUE
Young Adult Mystery /
Near Future
The Jimmu Files – Book 1
Three Grande Dames of the publishing industry join three teen boys in a chaotic romp to solve multiple murders in 2038 Saratoga and New York City.
In summer 2038, Angie Summers, the best-selling author of sexy Literary Mystery Thrillers, often plays amateur detective. Nothing new about that—Miss Marple, Angela Lansbury, Nancy Drew, Velma Dinkley, and Charlie’s Angels got there first.
Angie drives a Maserati Hydro and wields a secret weapon, NYPD Inspector Rex Caine, who wants to marry her and often extracts her from dangerous situations. When an assassin wounds Rex at Belmont Park, he falls into a coma, awakens with amnesia, and enters a fugue state in which he no longer knows which side he is on.
Angie believes herself left with only her two best friends to help solve a series of murders related to Rex’s plan to capture a group of international drug dealers meeting in Saratoga, NY. She does not reckon on her son, fourteen-year-old Dale, and his two Chinese immigrant friends deciding to take Rex’s place and assist her.
