Gail Carriger:
Thank you Gail for reading and answering our questions. Were you a product of a 'Finishing School'? Was that when you decided to write about them in your books? I love The Parasol Protectorate series... Are there going to be more books about the characters therein?

Nope, I went to public school until high school and then I was a scholarship student at a co-ed prep school. But I have always been fascinated with all girls schools since reading The Little Princess as a child.
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.
