Hello and welcome to a very special blog post today. I have hugely good news to share!

The Cult of the Spider People: Bone Chillers #1
Heddy Johannesen
Bone Chillers (October 25, 2024)
‘Reviewed by Nora B. Peevy
“Heddy Johannesen’s first standalone title is a creepy web of worldbuilding sending shivers down young adults’ spines. Piper’s mother is dead, and her father is hiding a secret, but she doesn’t know what it is. One day Piper and her boyfriend, Cory, go through the black door in the basement she is forbidden to go through. They find themselves in an odd world where H.R. Giger, Stephen King, or The Human Centipede would feel right at home.
What would you do to save the people you love and what part of you identifies you as human? These are two of the biggest philosophical questions Johannesen tackles in this teen horror book with grace and suspense. I can imagine discovering her book right next to Christopher Pike’s when I read YA novels. I am captivated and waiting for the sequel to come out. Johannesen has left enough unanswered questions to warrant a sequel, and I look forward to losing myself in her next book.”
I love her review. She totally captured the essence of my book. The publication of my novel opens doors to new and amazing opportunities. I can’t wait to find out what the future holds for me. Like more reviews, maybe my book will earn awards. I want to make bookmarks to go with the books for readers. I want to hold a launch but I have to figure out how I pay for that. I get a discount but I may be able to work it out. I will figure it out. I can’t wait to get to sign books. I hope readers enjoy my book which is the whole point of publishing a book.
My Mom and I spent the evening last night talking about the success of my book. We sipped cider, baked chocolate Halloween cupcakes and had a good time. I still hope to celebrate a book launch at Bookmark. I love that bookstore. They are really good people there. I have to give a copy to the Writers Federation of Nova Scotia and get copies into the local libaries here.
Onwards and upwards! I am happier than I have been in a long time. Now for the sequel…
Blessings, Spiderwitch
