Since then, she has written three additional true-crime books. Her book about alternative sex, Secret Sex Lives: A Year on the Fringes of American Sexuality, was released in 2012.[1]
She moved to New York City and worked as a reporter/researcher for Fortune magazine. Two years later, Spencer was in Los Angeles freelance writing and completing an MBA in finance and marketing and a master's in professional writing from the University of Southern California.[2]
In February 2002, St. Martin's Press released Spencer's book, Breaking Point, about the Andrea Yates murders of her five children.[5] After the book's release, Spencer's press credentials to cover the Yates trial was revoked by the court and she sued.[6] The court denied her request, so she stood in line each day with the general public for a daily spectator pass.[6]
