Former Apache Junction resident Bonnie Pike-Blake, now living in San Tan Valley, has published the book “The Veil is Lifted,” a sequel to her book “A Dog Named No!”

The 278-page paperback novel, independently published on May 16, is available on Amazon.

Although a work of fiction, the book has characters that exist around Apache Junction as well as historical data on the Superstitions and Apache lore, according to a release.

“Ten years have passed since Elizabeth’s nearly tragic accident in the Superstitions sent her through a sipapu into an ancient Apache world. Now, without warning, the cancer that had once been in remission had returned with a vengeance. In an attempt to find her way back through a vortex and find healing again, she leaves on a healing quest with her beloved dog, Ranger (“A Dog Named No”) and her newest shepherd Ruger,” according to a description of the book. “The Superstition Mountains is the home of vortexes — also called Sipapu by some Native American Tribes. These are areas of high energy concentrations, originating from magnetic, spiritual, or other unknown sources. They are considered portals to other realms, both spiritual and dimensional.”

Ms. Pike-Blake has published six previous works of poetry, with many poems based around the Superstitions, in addition to her previous novel, “A Dog Named No!” the release states.
