Freya asked Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé:

Hi! I just finished Ace of Spades last night and I really enjoyed it. I just wanted to ask, what made you choose to set AoS in America and not the UK?

Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé The setting in AoS is deliberately ambiguous - despite the Americanisms/Britishisms present in the story. It's not really meant to have a concrete setting, I wanted the story to feel like it could take place anywhere in the global north. So to answer your question, it isn't set in the UK nor is it set in the US (despite the references).

Marie asked Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé:

Hello! So excited to read your book. How did you know which story ideas you wanted to make into a full-blown book? Or how did you force yourself to sit down and choose one to flesh out fully?
