About the writer

Derek C. Power began writing in early 2001, mainly focusing on short stories. After winning the odd contest he decided to continue after completeing his education and started writing novels. His first novel, titled The Ogra Pig, firmly established his writing genre; comedy-fantasy. Following the completetion of the novel he continued writing tales based in Celtverse, including his second novel Filthy Henry.

He is currently working on his third novel, The Fairy Detective, which is a blend of modern day mixed with Celtic legends.

A synopsis of his most recent work can be found below.

The Ogra Pig
In Airah, a magical realm where the Celtic myths and legends walk the lands, things sometimes get mixed up. Luckily there are always people willing to step in and make sure the myths happen just as they should and that legends are born as expected. Dru the Druid and Victor are two such people. When the armies of Al and Mebh, Keepers of The Blue Cow of the South, invade the North to capture The Purple Cow of the North, Dru sends Victor to train a Guardian in the ways of magical animal defending. If only he was sent to right person...

Filthy Henry
Gods in Airah enjoy many perks, mainly ones that revolve around having infinite powers. But when one of their own turns up dead, murdered!, they need help from an unlikely source: a mortal. Filthy Henry, shunned by everybody in his local village, is hired by the Chief of the Gods to figure out who killed the dearly departed deity. But more importantly how the god was killed. It is the case to end all cases and Filthy Henry is possibly the right man for the job.
