Reviews
""For voyaging sailors, the book will seem familiar yet new. The familiarity rests with the everyday challenges and joys of living aboard while passagemaking; the novelty stems from the intriguing multi-level plot that weaves through the book. Ultimately, Slavinski does a great job keeping the three plots and myriad characters all working together as The Silves Spider reaches its daring ending."" - Ocean Navigator Magazine ""The descriptions are immersive and the writing is fluid. The author's first hand cruising experience is invaluable infusing the adventure/historical-fiction story with a feeling beyond ""well researched"", rather more true to life. The reader almost forgets the fictional nature of the book. The Silver Spider turned out to be a real page turner that I devoured in just a few sittings. I highly recommend it to cruisers or non-cruisers alike. The fictional story blended with living experiences is a wonderfully immersive idea that more cruising-writers should imitate."" - SV Venilia Blog

Nadine Slavinski is a teacher, writer, and erstwhile archaeologist with a penchant for blue horizons. A lifelong sailor, Slavinski has taken two extensive sabbaticals with her husband and young son aboard their 35 foot sloop, sailing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans while home schooling. These trips inspire her fiction works, which follow the adventures of memorable characters in exotic locations and vividly capture the fun, fascinating world of globe-trotting sailors.
