About the author
Ken Carey is an American writer associated with the channeled and visionary strand of New Age literature that emerged in the 1980s. His best-known work, The Starseed Transmissions, first published in 1991 by HarperOne, presents itself as received intuitive material offering a reinterpretation of human evolution, and became a touchstone title in that genre. He followed it with Return of the Bird Tribes, which draws on Native American spiritual themes to address contemporary social and ecological concerns, and The Third Millennium, a guide oriented toward practical living framed around a coming era of change. All three titles share Carey's characteristic blend of cosmological speculation and direct address to the reader. His books continue to circulate among readers interested in channeled texts and New Age cosmology from that period.
