Simply put, it was the book I kept looking for and really wanted to read but no one was writing, so I figured I'd better do it myself.

A Goodreads user's
question:
Ah, this is answered rather graphically, in the later books, I think it's Custard Protocol book 1, Prudence. Nothing to do with the construction of ships, more the construction of werewolves...

Humans,' chuckled the vampire, 'so possessive.”

Thank you very much for adding me as a friend! I can't wait to see what other adventures Rue will have. After the book I am currently reading I will be finishing the E&E (etiquette and espionage) series. Thank you for being awesome.
Just finished Prudence, and I loved it! How many books will there be in the Custard Protocol?I am very curious to see how Rue's adventures, or misadventures go.
I love all of your books, thank you!
You are too awesome as a person. Tone it down just a tad. ^^
Hi Gail!I just had to stop by your page and write this. I absolutely love your books! Definitely planning on a re-read in anticipation of Prudence! I work at a library and always recommend your novels, love introducing them to people! Thanks for such fantastic characters and memorable stories! Can't wait for 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!

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. :-)
Thank you for accepting my request Gail, I love your books :)
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! :)

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.
