The Spyders of Burslem: a dark historical mystery

Nov 12, 2011

I’m very pleased to say that my 60,000-word novel The Spyders of Burslem is now available to buy now as a paperback, or from Amazon USA or Amazon UK. If you’re in France or Germany, it’s also on their Kindle Stores.

“It is the year 1869 in the English Midlands pottery town of Burslem, where a new age of industry and learning struggles to be born. A young graduate has arrived to teach the workers, but finds himself on the trail of a deadly evil.”
