Welcome New Readers!

by Spencer Baum on August 11, 2013

I advertised Homecoming Masquerade on Bookbub today and it was a smash! As of this writing, Homecoming Masquerade is #13 overall in the Amazon store, and #1 in both the Young Adult and Paranormal categories. Many thousands of you who never heard of me before are reading my work for the first time. Hello to all of you! I’m honored you found me, and hope you enjoy the book!

Hello! I found Homecoming Masquerade on BookBub on Sunday. I didn’t start reading it until around 11pm – big mistake! I usually read a book for twenty minutes or so, until I fall asleep. Your book kept me awake until after 3am, then I had to immediately jump up and search Amazon for the sequel.

It was a very good book, very different from the current vampire fiction offerings. For an offering by an independent author (or at least, I am assuming you are!), I was pleasantly surprised that there were no typos or other editing errors, and the pacing was superb. I never would have thought one novel could be written to span only a few hours and pass for a full story rather than ending up lacking in some way, but you managed it perfectly.

I’ve been a BookBub subscriber since the beginning of the year, and to be honest, I’ve only found three or four books that have really satisfied me like The Homecoming Masquerade. There’s a lot of subpar books to wade through to find the true gems, but books like yours makes it worth the effort.

Thank you Cara! I’m so glad you liked Homecoming Masquerade, and am honored you took the time to come tell me! Your post is so thrilling to read — reactions like yours are why I write! Have a great day!

I read Homecoming quite awhile ago and thought it was fantastic then Festival came out and if possible it was even better. Since there’s so many characters and so many stories in each of your books I’ve just re-read Homecoming and Festival before starting on Ransom and I’ll just say wow, they’re fantastic.
I’ve posted my reviews on amazon uk and I can’t wait for the next one. Ransom like the other two had me completely hooked and I begrudgingly put my kindle down only when absolutely necessary. These are books you can be proud of and it’s not often I find a series I like as much as this and I read a lot. Please hurry with the next one…

I found th Girls in Black on the Apple book site, it was free so I download it and was so surprised, it was entertaining and interesting. I got hooked so I bought the rest of the series and wasn’t disappointed, infact I loved them. I can’t wait for the next book. Please don’t make us wait for a year, I need to find out it ends. Thank you.
