How did you come up with the names for your characters? They are all so unique and cool sounding.
Gail Carriger
On a very few occasion the character will choose his/her own name (Soap, Dimity), but most of the time my names are cookies, that is: a reward for the careful reader. The name either tells readers something about the character, where he came from, her real identity, his true purpose, or relate to someone historical (Tarabotti), or are some kind of hint or foreshadow (Akeldama). I love names so I always play with them if possible.

Dear Miss Carriger, I am a huge fan of your Parasol Protectorate Series. I loved each and every single book. I adore the characters as well. I already have Prudence and I am eagerly awaiting the release of Imprudence. I also wish to get your Finishing School books. My question to you is, where do all your amazing characters come from? And if I may cheat a little, how many books will there be for Custard Protocol?♥
