I am on a number of sites.  There is a Facebook page, a Twitter Account, and a Tumblr account, and in each place I will get the occasional question about the book.  This one came from Tumblr, where I tend to respond to all mail privately, as opposed to publishing things that might embarrass either the person asking, or me, for that matter.  What is with the different kinds of Gomers?

Okay, this one I promise will start to explain itself near the end of the second book, and will become painfully clear in the third one.  Each of the types is different, and each has a role to play.  I will say they are related, and the answer is a lot creepier than any of us would like to imagine.  Then again, I imagined it, so who knows.  

Continuing with the answer of questions, someone has asked, why I did not bring up a lot of alien back story? 

This was the first book, and it is an introduction to our alien attackers.  As someone on the ground, I doubt seriously you will have a back story for anyone who is trying to exterminate you, especially when they first show up and aren’t exactly talking to you.  The Backstory will take time to develop.  In this case, there are two more books, and I can assure you, the second one will definitely open eyes on a number of these questions.  While in the third book, we actually find out more detail, and precisely what that backstory really means for us as a civilization.
