Diana M. Rodriguez asked Melanie Dickerson:

I typically don't read this genre, but I love that you named the character Gisela. That was my mom's name. What made you choose that name? it isn't a common name at all.

Melanie Dickerson I chose Gisela because my story is set in Medieval Germany and that was a name that was used in Medieval Germany. I try to make sure I use period appropriate names.
