Unless there is snow on the ground, never speak their name aloud. The more they eat the hungrier they become, and they are starving. They were meant to stay undisturbed, their dismembered limbs scattered, frozen under the permafrost, but as is always the way, the greed of industry has unburied them once more. Now, the most feared, the Wheetago, have returned, using their powers to call back the Na acho, cannibalistic giants once banished by Dene deities. The revered hero known as the Child Finder who is fighting to cling to his humanity after a Wheetago attack, a mother and her young son, and a desperate band of convicts, form an uneasy alliance to survive the Wheetago horrors now awakened. ROTH, from award-winning, bestselling Tlicho Dene author Richard Van Camp, and visionary illustrator Christopher Shy is the first graphic novel in the Wheetago War series.

This is a book I laboured over for a great deal of time, crafting a poem in a day or a week, however I could manage to fit writing into my schedule and my limits of creativity. I always have felt that the only way one can be an interesting writer is to lead an interesting life, and so while I was writing this book I travelled all over Western Canada, I went to Hawaii twice, as some may note in my poems of those beautiful islands. I also spent a great deal of time studying poetry by reading it and listening to it, as well as attending workshops, poetry recitals and even poetry slams and poetry competitions. Edmonton is a great place to be a writer-it is way too cold to do much else in the winter months, and I hope that fact is reflected in how you feel about my favourite form of creative expression.
