Your character names range from unusual to absurd - but always seem to suit the character and the books nicely. What's the one name that made even you think, "Oh, that's too ridiculous, even for me." Did you keep that name, or toss it?

Gail Carriger Never! The more ridiculous the better!

Dieg asked Gail Carriger:

Hi, my name is Diegui and i can't wait to read Waistcoats and Weaponry. I admit, the thing i am most curious about is Soap's role. Will he stay a strong figure in the future? Is he really just a sooty? I saw a sample of Waistcoats and Weaponry and am too excited about the rest. Thank you for the epic discovery of Finishing School.

Nichole Call asked Gail Carriger:

I wanted to thank you so very much for your writings. We started reading Etiquette and Espionage as part of our Family Summer Reading group (myself, my daughter and my husband), my daughter Kairie was so intrigued with Etiquette that she had to pick up Curtsies and Waistcoats as well. She wanted me to ask , how do you get the ideas for the young ladies outfits?

A Goodreads user asked Gail Carriger:

Your serieses and books are so integrated and interconnected. It is so much fun to go back and reread them and find clues and foreshadows (backshadows?). How far ahead or back do you plan things? Do you have a master web of plot twists and connections in your head? On paper? Or are you just insanely clever (instead of the plain, old really clever). and write and go "oh well this ties nicely back to that?"
