More covers in the Parasol Protectorate NYCC series and day 4. And another interview has dropped. Here is a sample Which figures from history can you imagine as supernaturals? I can’t answer that specifically, because there would be spoilers. I can say that I have divided history into dominance of one species over the others. […]

In Which Gail Subjects Changeless to the Page 69 Test
I did this for a guest blog a little while ago. Because of the lay out of Changeless I nabbed a few lines from page 68 otherwise you begin at the top of 69 orphaned in the middle of a paragraph. This page is one of the moments of conversation designed to build the mystery […]

Changeless Floating Dresses in Detail
I received a question recently via email from the lovely Eva, which I thought so very intriguing others might enjoy my answer. She asked for further detail on the new fashion for floating dresses I describe briefly in my second book, Changeless. Floating Dresses I will say that in the books I did leave this […]

Gail Carriger is a New York Times Bestseller. Who me?
So I was sitting at home typing away, doing some actual work on Secret Project F, when the phone rings out on the front stoop. Well, to be precise, the phone was dangling from the eves of the roof in a little baggie. (No, I was not punishing the phone with isolation for bad behavior. […]

Happy Bookday to Me! Changeless hits the world today!

The Wonder of “The End” (Important for Writers)
Are there any more satisfying words to type in the English language than “THE END”? I doubt it. (And yes I still type them in all caps because of my old short story days when that was What You Did.) And I, Gentle Reader, have just typed them. Of course, in my case “the end” […]

End of Project Insanity
All apologies, Gentle Reader, for this shockingly disorientated post. Book the Third is nearing completion, and, as is often the case, this means lots of fisticuffs and pithy dialogue (inside the book mind you, not in reality), which in turn means the fierce clicky-clacking of Writer Beast Action. It also colors my daily off-computer life […]
