I have broadened the distribution network for The Mark of the Spider, book 1 of my Black Orchid Chronicles.

In addition to Amazon and Smashwords, you can now get it from Barnes & Noble for your Nook or borrow it from Kobo.

Lots of ways to follow Sebastian Arnett and the spider demon, Empaya Iba.

Kirkus Reviews calls The Mark of the Spider “An engaging thriller … a wicked curse.”

Readers like you called it “captivating” and “breathless.” So, go get engaged and captivated and have your breath taken away.

And, yes, the sequel is being written now. Watch for The Flight of the Spider in 2019.

But first, enjoy The Mark of the Spider. Read it today; review it tomorrow.

The Mark of the Spider - 3D-small

My 90-day exclusive distribution deal with Amazon has ended, and The Mark of the Spider can now be had, in ebook format, on Smashwords. You still have to buy from Amazon to get the print version.

I’ll be adding it to other distribution networks over the next week.

Christmas is coming; your suspense or ghost freak would like this story. Really.

Kirkus Calls ‘Mark of the Spider’ “Engaging”

More precisely, Kirkus Reviews said The Mark of the Spider is:

An engaging thriller that successfully explores the implications of a wicked curse.

The way I parse that, The Mark of the Spider is not just engaging, but thrilling, successful and wicked.

And I’m pretty sure that line violates the Kirkus excerpting policies.

To avoid an encounter with the Excerpting Police, I send you to the entire review on the Kirkus Reviews Web site.

For those not familiar with Kirkus, it is an “American book review magazine” founded in 1933. In 2005, it allowed Indie authors to purchase a review meeting all their standard review criteria. There is no guarantee the reviewer will like the book. And there are no refunds.

So I’ll take “engaging” any day.

If you haven’t engaged with The Mark of the Spider yet, hie yourself over to Amazon and pick up an ebook or trade print edition. If you order the print version, you get the ebook free. What an “engaging” deal.
