This book is dedicated to my friend Bertha May Moorman who I have been best friends with since the first day in Grade 1. Bertha was having serious health problems during the writing of this manuscript. She ended up having to have major surgery.

I originally came up with the idea to write a book as a project to have something to do over the winter. But after I started composing it, I noticed that one of the main characters of the book, Button, reminded me of someone. I realized at that moment that it was my best friend that I was writing about. I believe that writing this book was my subconscious way of dealing with the severity of her illnesses and the potential of not having a favorable outcome after her surgery. Since we are the same age, I had to come face-to-face with the brevity of life and the aging process and how fast I was entering into the latter years of my life. I was also reminded that I have to appreciate the people that I have in my life for as long as I have them with me.

Regarding my best friend Bertha, who is presently on the road to a full recovery, I came to realize that if death should ever part us, I would always have a piece of her in my heart. She is the strongest woman that I know and through her continuous love and support over the years, she has helped make me who I am today. Bertha is a strong female role model in my life. I am blessed to have her as my lifelong friend.

dagger of urachadh - attack from the underworld

A young Saskatchewan girl named Golden, who has a strange birthmark on her arm, finds a magical amulet and a strange incantation in her recently deceased grandfather’s study. As a result, she, and is magically transported back in time into a fantastical alternate version of Saskatchewan in the 1500s. After a long trek across the prairies, Golden is rescued by a kind young Celtic boy, Button, and learns that the Darach tribe, which has five clans (Mountain, Forest, Bog, Hill and River), is facing a deadly attack from the forces of darkness at Samhain, when the veil between the earth and the underworld is the thinnest. This onslaught started after the evil and greedy Randahar from the Mountain Clan knowingly disturbed a portal to the underworld. The Mountain clan is hated and persecuted as a result - and Golden's mysterious birthmark turns out to actually be the mark of the Mountain Clan!

After Golden confides in Button that she is from a different time, they set out together to find the Ancient Wizard whom they hope can help her return home. During their journey, a benevolent god visits Golden and tells her she needs to find the Dagger of Urachadh, which will guarantee victory against the evil marauders if wielded by the Great Protector. With the help of Button and his two friends, Naed the Wise and Robert the Historian, and some magical stones, Golden has everything that she needs to set out on her quest.

Ancient Celtic legends come alive as the gods often take animal or human form and show up in the most unexpected places. Follow the many adventures of these four youngsters as they struggle to find the Dagger of Urachadh and to bring the holy relic to the final battle at Battle Creek amid constant dangers from mischievous creatures to deadly mythological creatures to powerful evil gods.

I was born and raised in Saskatchewan. I have lived in Saskatchewan all my life. Dagger of Urachadh: Attack from the Underworld is my first fiction book. I had so much fun writing it. I am delighted to share my love of Saskatchewan through my writing. I hope that you enjoy reading my book!
