EMBRACING THE SPIDER
Embracing the Spider
NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
Fire Mountain Books is proud to announce the publication of EMBRACING THE SPIDER. EMBRACING THE SPIDER is the dramatic conclusion of the Spider Series.
If you loved 365 Days and couldn’t put down the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy, we promise that you will also love Chasing the Spider, Stalking the Spider, and Embracing the Spider. Erotic Romance, Erotic Thriller, Billionaire Romance, Unbridled Passion, Provocative Thriller. Seduction guaranteed.
The story quickly seduces the reader into Sky Evenson’s world as an FBI’s 10 Most Wanted fugitive. It’s a roller coaster adventure as the reckless young heroine flees cops and killers. The Spider Series is a coming of age tale, played out in lakefront mansions, desert haciendas, medieval castles, and cheap hotels all while in the glare of a nationwide manhunt. The Spider Series is hot enough to keep you turning the pages, scary enough to make you want to cover your eyes, sexy enough to turn you on, and dangerous enough to send you on a 10,000-mile flight to avoid prosecution.
D.S. Mitchell, Author-Erotic Romance, Erotic Thriller, Romantic Thriller
Chasing the Spider was my first full length novel. Mostly thanks to time on my hands with the COVID-19 quarantine. I was excited to tell Sky’s story and the story of the men in her life. It soon became obvious that the story would take more than one book and quickly morphed into a three book series.
I had fun writing the Spider Series with all its provocative romance, thrilling suspense, and sensual, heart throbbing adventure. Books: (1) Chasing the Spider, (2) Stalking the Spider, and (3) Embracing the Spider. I promise you that each of the novels has an equal amount of romance, intrigue, head-spinning, and heart-twisting action. Someone I know called the series dark romance. If that sounds like fun, check it out. Take one, or all of them, with you to the beach, take them with you on the plane, but definitely not for the office. Sexually explicit.

Q & A With D. S. Mitchell
By David L. Shadrick
I had several advantages going for me when I called writer, author, editor, publisher, D. S. Mitchell to ask her for an interview. The first big advantage is that I have known Darlene Mitchell for nearly forty years, the second was I wanted to do a story about her. I hoped our long term friendship and my appeal to her vanity would seal the deal. So after a few hiccups we got together at her home in beautiful southern Oregon and I started asking questions. Here is the result of that interview.
David: When we first met you were an RN. How and when did you decide you wanted to abandon the bedpan for the ink pen?
Darlene: You’re funny. It wasn’t like that. I’ve been writing short stories and bad poetry since I was a young kid. I spent my school years in advanced creative writing classes, encouraged and mentored by a number of wonderful teachers along the way. But, so few writers find success that I chose a “reliable” career. Professional nursing was a sure paycheck, not a hope and a prayer. My mother said a hail Mary on that choice, thankful that the four years of college she paid for wouldn’t be wasted on a low paying unpredictable career as a writer.
