With all four Girls Wearing Black books now released, I have turned more of my efforts towards marketing. Because of that, I’m seeing many of you here for the first time. If you’re new to me and my books, welcome! I’m thrilled to have you here. Here are some things you should know.
1) The most popular post in the history of this blog was the Girls Wearing Black Q&A. I’m about to give a link to it, but don’t click on that link until you’ve read ALL FOUR BOOKS. The link is full of spoilers. After Book 4 came out, I gave readers the opportunity to ask me anything they wanted to know and I promised not to hold back in my answers. There are plenty of surprises in the final half of Book 4 and I’d hate to ruin them for you. So please, come back to this link after you’ve finished the series: Girls Wearing Black Q&A.
2) I’m still at a place in my writerly life where I have capacity to answer every reader email I get. You can email me at spencerbaum75@gmail.com, or like the Facebook page (link on the right) and message me there. I love talking to readers!
3) Unlike many indie authors, my release schedule is SLOW. My novels go through 10 or more drafts before I call them done. Usually by the final draft, I am writing a completely different novel than the one I started with. I write full-time, but still it takes me about a year to write the kind of novel I like to put out there. If you want to know when my next book is coming, subscribe to the Facebook page and/or email list on the right, or subscribe to the new release emails on my Amazon author page.
4) My current project is titled The Tetradome Run. It’s very much in the vein of Girls Wearing Black–a literary thriller set in a world that is an awful lot like present-day America, but with fantasy and dystopian elements. This one will be unique because, in addition to being a novel, I have written a series of companion stories that will be released as part of a transmedia experience through one of the most popular smart phone apps in the world. We’re still not ready to quote a release date on the app, and I’m still too early in the process to give a release date on the novel, but in the coming months, I should have more info for you.
5) Enjoy the books!
