Well, Gentle Reader, let’s get to it, shall we? So… Right now there are delays on shipping and an inability to pre-order many of my books on Amazon. In case you were in any doubt, Amazon is, once more, playing at Monopoly. Gail, go to jail. Go straight to jail. Do not pass go. Amazon […]

The Crudrat Wrap Party (Tinkered Stars event)
The Crudrat Wrap party was a great success! We had so much food the table was quite groaning. And this was just the start! The weather cooperated resulting in a lovely turn out, there was standing room only (literally, there were no chairs). I talked all about how the book got started and my inspiration, […]

Victorians, Werewolves, and Spies, Oh, My!
ConDor was great fun, an established convention in San Diego with reliable attendance and a writing/reading SF/F bent. I arrived Friday and hit the ground running with my first panel. I’m going to let you peek at my notes. I’m afraid I didn’t take them on other people’s comments, just my own thoughts. And, of […]

Gail’s 11 Most Memorable Meals of All Time & Place
As you may or may not have sussed, Gentle Reader, I travel a lot. I travel to conventions and signings, to festivals and book fairs, to lands far away and right next door. I have blogged about packing and surviving constant travel, and I have utilized skills learned as an itinerant archaeologist far more than […]

A New Member of the Family ~ Lilliput the Bean (Gail Carriger Gets A Cat)
I refuse to be the crazy cat lady, so please feel free to skip this post if you are not Of the Feline Inclination. That said, I am an author, and many authors have cats. (In the past too!) I did promise I would introduce my new family member to you, and I am truly […]

7 Steampunk-ish Things In France
It’s hard for me to turn the steampunk hunting instincts off, Gentle Reader. I’m like a truffle pig in this particular matter. Snuffle snuffle snort . . . steampunk! I thought there would be a more propitiatory connection to early flight, all my research suggests the French were once particularly enamored of floating about full […]

The New Office Revealed
Some, Gentle Reader, have kindly expressed an interest in the appearance of my new digs. So I am going to waffle on about interior decorating, demitasse teacup collections, steampunk, tribute from readers, and the like in this post. There are also lots of pictures. I am a huge fan of interior decorating and design blogs. […]

Las Vegas Report!
I do apologize, Gentle Reader, but copy edits on Curtsies & Conspiracies (Finishing School Book the Second) have eaten my noggin. I have the brain worms! By they are very stylish brain worms. And I’ve handed her in. Book #10, in the bag. You’ll never guess what I did over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend? Well, […]

Convention Report ~ Nimrod Writer’s Conference 2012
I have returned from Tulsa Oklahoma and the Nimrod Writer’s Conference, my penultimate event of 2012. I had a marvelous time. Fortunately for me, the lovely Talia warned me via twitter that the weather had turned quite cold. I snatched up my much loved and rarely used Pink Blanket Coat of Doom (yes, you read […]

Too Funny Not to Post: the Convention Commandments Babled
So my French publishing house reposted my 10 Comic Con commandments, and then, since I don’t speak french, I translated them using google translate. It’s hilarious. Thus, one last time I present them too you here, Gentle Reader. Gail Carriger has also participated in this event and, on this occasion, has issued the Ten Commandments […]

Comic Con 2021 Report from the Author-Side ~ Saturday
I’m late posting today, Gentle Reader, for which I apologize. I lost my writing time yesterday and felt guilty enough to move my normal timing around and write early today to ensure productivity. Of course, I should have done double, but I’m a word count wimp. I believe I now think daily in 2000 word […]
