Accidental Legend: A Filthy Henry Novel

by Derek Power

Some legends are born. Others are made. Sometimes they happen by accident.

According to legend, Queen Medb once tried to steal the magical Brown Bull of
Ulster in order to become a god. Cú Chulainn, the powerful warrior, stopped her
by single handedly defeating her entire army.

Somehow Medb has returned to modern-day Ireland and is trying to get the bull
once again. This time it is up to Cú Chulainn’s descendant, Cathal Cullen, to stop
her. The problem is Cathal does not know about his heroic lineage. Luckily someone
has been drafted in from the fairy world to help him. Unluckily, that someone is
Filthy Henry.

About the author

Derek Power began writing in early 2001, mainly focusing on short stories. After winning the odd contest here and then he figured he would try and write something a little longer. A few false starts later he managed to complete his first novel, titled Filthy Henry: The Fairy Detective, in early 2013.

He currently live in Skerries, Co. Dublin, Ireland with his wife and young children.

When he isn't writing about Filthy Henry he can be found pretending to know stuff about computers, since that helps to pay the bills.

He also hates writing about himself in the third person, but these sort of things don't generally get written in the first person.
