I was wondering if the manga versions of the Parasol Protectorate will get the last few books. Also will you continue Alexia's adventures?
Gail Carriger
The graphic novels include only Soulless Vol. 1 (aka, Soulless), Soulless Vol. 2 (aka Changeless), and Soulless Vol. 3 (aka Blameless). You can read my post about the release of Vol. 3 and why it's likely to be the last. http://gailcarriger.blogspot.com/2013...
The Parasol Protectorate series ends with Timeless. I have no plans to write any further stories staring Alexia and Conall. Frankly, Alexia would appreciate it if I left her in peace for a while. However, many favorite characters show up in both of my new series. Prudence (March 17, 2015) is an adult book, and a spin off from the Parasol Protectorate that takes place 20 years (or so) later. However, it is the start of a new series, The Custard Protocol. Also, I have some short stories and novellas in the works featuring some fan favorite side characters. They are a few years away while I finish up the novels, but they are going to happen.

Huge fan. Was there a particular source that introduced you to steampunk such as a book or film? My introduction to steampunk was reading the first Parasol Protectorates books by you. I'm interested to know how you decided to write this genre, which you do quite well. Thank you.

I just finished Imprudence, and it was so much fun! When you started the series, did you know it would be a series? I keep writing books, and I think I will write another with the same characters, but when I finish I get interested in another project and... no series. How do you stay focused on the same characters and setting?
