Well, my dear Gentle Reader, I am off to foreign climes. I'll be traveling from May 15 ~ June 7 in France. The first half will be work, and the second half vacation. I'll be checking in online, periodically, but mostly unable to respond to anything until I get back.
If you would like to see me while I am there, I will be in St. Malo for Etonnants Voyageurs Festival May 18 ~ 20, and then in Epina... Read more of this blog post »

GailI have started reading Etiquette and Espionage and I am delighted so far! I love seeing characters that I know...Genevieve, her Aunt (alive), Sidheag, werewolves and vampires!
I love Sophronia, reminds me of Alexia...always in some kind of situation.
I am looking forward to the rest of the series, thank you for another great steam punk adventure, well done!

Hi Gail,Thanks for writing Soulless - I spent all night reading it (with many cups of tea ;)...)
I was looking forward to reading this after I heard about it :) I love urban fantasies, historical romances and comedies, and to have that all mixed up with steampunk made your novel a great combo :) It was a great way to get introduced to steampunk. Really enjoyed the main character (women with spirit, who know what they want & don't want, are needed more in novels).
I will definitely be working (ie enjoying) my way through the rest of your books :)
*hugs from Australia*
PS. Have you tried "Milky Oolong" tea? It's delicious, but you need to have it at 80 degrees celsius so it's not bitter (being semi-fermented tea and all).

Thank you for accepting my friend invite. I enjoyed your Alexia books very much. Looking forward to more!!!
Hello Gail,Thank you for accepting my friend request and for igniting my interest in steampunk novels. "Soulless" was my introduction to the genre and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I can't wait to see what the Maccon clan is up to in "Timeless."
Hope you're having a lovely day!

Thank you so much for adding me as a friend, Gail. It is real honor and a pleasure that you added me on here.
Thank you so much for accepting my request :) I just want you to know how much I adore the Parasol Protectorate series. Soulless has definitely become one of my all time favorite books since reading it, and am now in the midst of re-reading it and starting Changeless soon. Can't wait to read more!
Greetings Gail and thank you for the add! I'm having a wonderful time just devouring your series. On to book four this morning!Enjoy your day.

Thank for adding me as a friend. I am a big fan of your books - they are perfect on a rainy day with a mug of tea. Can't wait for the next series and hope you have a book signing in Fort Collins, CO sometime soon.

Your book (Soulless) has been staring me in the face every day at work (I work at the local Book Shop) and every day I've said, "okay... *this* is my next book". But like any good bookseller, I'm easily distracted by all the "shiny" things in my store. Well, the time has come... I bought Soulless and haven't been able to put it down. So I stocked up for the weekend and bought Changeless, Blameless, and Heartless. Bring on the rainy weekend!By the way, you are AMAZING. And so is Alexia. I adore her.
Keep up the INCREDIBLE work, and I will most definitely keep reading!
♥
Thanks so much for adding me! I love your books and am addicted to your blog. I look forward to meeting you at a book signing one day. :-)
So I'm a little behind on the times (I graduated college this year, so it was too busy for fun reading :( boo), I just finished Changeless, but I absolutely loved it! I can't wait to see what happens next! :)

you're #1 on goodread's Listopia list of Best Steampunk novels! 2 in the top 10 and all three in the top 20!Well done & well deserved.

I'm so glad! Currently no plans to visit Salt Lake, I'm afraid. Although I may be in Reno for WorldCOn, which is "almost" the right neck of the woods.
I just recieved my parasol from lace-parasol.com in the mail today! So, so happy with it! Thanks for recommending them! :D Oh, and do you think you'll be making an apperance in or about Salt Lake City anytime soon? We would love you to come!
Currently reading Blameless. I will listen to the audio of Souless when I finish the book. Which means next week sometime. Very entertaining so far!

My pleasure April. Delighted you enjoyed the book and that it made you giggle.
GailI read Souless on a recommendation from other Goodreads friends and loved it! I am almost done with Changeless and find it even more wonderful, many witty moments that had me giggling!
Looking forward to Blameless!
Thanks for your enjoyable books!
Have to add, I just finished Changeless and OH the cliffhanger!! I could not believe it!!! I am starting Blameless right away. I hope this is resolved, I love these two Together! Wonderful story.

Just finished Changeless and am now dying to read Blameless! Can't wait to attend your signing in Houston this weekend!
Another great book, Madame Author! Writing Steampunk paranormal is proving to be interesting. Now I have to figure out how to create a Steampunk outfit. Maybe parasols and Scotties will be involved. I am eagerly awaiting September! Congrats on the New York Times Bestseller list.

When does Blameless come out again? All kidd..."Thank you. Yeah, sorry about that cliffhanger, needs must (as Alexia might say). Blameless is due out in September, so on the bright side you don't have a whole year to wait.

Thank you April! Delighted you are enjoying it.
