Sumage Solution Audiobook Available Now! Video of my Q&A

The Sumage Solution Goes Out Into The World (San Andreas Shifters)
Tomorrow, Gentle Reader. Tomorrow. Possibly one of the biggest risks in my writing career. Gulp. My goodness I do hope you enjoy it.

Sneak Peek! First Scene of Gail Carriger’s Book, The Sumage Solution (Behind the Magic)
The Sumage Solution special look at the first scene, Gentle Reader. Warning: Strong language! Chapter One: On Patient Werewolves & Exploding Kitsune “Barker!” The shout cut through Maximillian Barker’s eardrum, making him jump. He hit his rickety desk with the tops of his thighs.
