At long last, it’s Slinger 3!
February the 27th, 2025
Hey, everybody! Hereâs another one, and man, itâs a big one! This Slinger series has been a fun challenge to write, because not only is it going over Slingerâs backstory, but itâs also tying up a lot of different series together from an outside perspective and leading to … something pretty epic! Do you feel it? Can you feel something big coming…? đ
These last few years, ever since after the Covid stuff, have been really busy and crazy for me and my writing career. Iâve had to spread myself thin across different work, and my books have slowed down a lot. I know it. Youâve mentioned it. And Iâm always trying to put more time into Skeleton Steve and get back to where I was before. Thanks for sticking with me! As we wrap up this Slinger Series and the Noob Years 6th Season, and start going into the new Skonathan series, I know you wonât regret still being a fan and reading my books! Thanks for being there.
Btw, Cløtret (a fan and reviewer), I saw your comments about characterization, and hope you enjoy the increased depth in this one!
Okay, confession time. Writing Slinger the Spider â Book 3 felt like juggling creepers while standing on redstone dust in a thunderstorm. Sparks flying everywhere, everything humming with danger, and you just know somethingâs about to blow. Because this one? This one isnât just about a spiderâs journeyâitâs the connective tissue between worlds. Between stories. Between everything you thought you knew about Skeleton Steveâs universe.
The Trail of Troubled Bones takes Slinger, Sir Zebulon (the zombie knight with impeccable manners), and Elias (the ninja who teleports into your personal space like itâs a hobby) across the western wastesâwhere whispers of Skeleton Steve drift like dust in the wind. Everyone they meet seems to know the skeletonâs name, but no one can agree on whether heâs a hero, a curse, or a ghost. Which, honestly, feels about right.
The chaos ramps up when Worla the Witch reenters the picture. I wonât spoil much, but letâs just say if lies were potions, sheâd have enough to fill an ocean monument. Between her manipulation, the spreading Glitch, and the Steveâs increasingly mysterious behavior, Slingerâs web of alliances starts to look likeâwell, a web on fire.
And thatâs what I love about this book. Itâs messy. Itâs tangled. Itâs alive. Slingerâs voice cuts through all the noiseâa creature of instinct and intuition, trying to make sense of loyalty and destiny in a world that keeps changing shape. Itâs also got more heart than youâd expect from an eight-legged mob with a crossbow problem.
So if youâve been feeling the pullâthe tension in the webâthis is where it all tightens before the snap. Slinger the Spider â Book 3: The Trail of Troubled Bones weaves mystery, lore, and action into one sticky, thrilling adventure. Grab it Free on KU, and maybe keep a broom handyâyouâll need it for all the plot threads. đ¸ď¸đđ
Enjoy the book and remember to say hi in the review comments!

The Trail of Troubled Bones
After a long journey from their ‘home base’ back east, Slinger the spider, Sir Zebulon the zombie knight (riding Cluckington the chicken!), and Elias the Enderman ninja finally reach the mysterious western lands where Skeleton Steve has been separated from them for so long. But tracking him down proves to be a lot more difficult than they thought it would be, even though so many mobs they encounter are familiar with their long-lost friend!
And on top of the growing Glitch problem starting to spill into the surface world, there seems to be something really suspicious going on with Skeleton Steve being manipulated and used for diabolic purposes by the wicked Worla the witch. After dealing with the witch’s lies, an uncooperative Steve, and strongholds full of hostile mobs, will Slinger and his friends be able to find Skeleton Steve before something awful happens to him?
