Thank you to everyone who shared their opinion of the cover design concepts for my forthcoming thriller, Beware the Spider: A Black Orchid Chronicle.

By a two-to-one margin, people preferred Concept B / Tracks.

That design will grace the paperback and digital covers, the Web site and Facebook banners, bookmarks and other marketing materials.

It is more than a worthy successor to The Mark of the Spider and keeps the bar high for book 3 in the Black Orchid Chronicles, tentatively entitled Spider’s Blood and is scheduled for release in 2020.

Thanks to the crew of Damonza.com, who produce such great designs.

Book Status

I have all the feedback from beta readers, and over the next week or two I will tweak the manuscript to address their comments and concerns. (Thank you, beta readers.)

I’ve promised my editor that she’ll have four weeks to go over the book with a fine-toothed comb and weed out my errors.

After that, it will go back to Damonza.com for internal design and formatting and then out to readers.
