Grace asked Gail Carriger:

Hi Gail, I have just always wanted to know how you came up with this idea? Also, please tell me Waistcoats and Weaponry was not the last book! Please say it's not, or that you will make a follow-up series! Thanks, Grace Verb

Gail Carriger I've always been fascinated by all girls boarding schools since reading A Little Princess when I was a child. And I love spy novels. I was already writing comedy and steampunk So I just wrapped them all up together.

There is one more book int he Finishing School series: Manners & Mutiny out next year.

There are many ties between this series and my adult series, The Parasol Protectorate. So you could try those. So far as follow ups are concerned, I have some short stories/novellas/novels in my brain featuring some favorite side characters. They are a few years away while I work on the novels, but I really hope they happen. The best way to keep track of me and my side projects is via my newsletter, The Chirrup. http://www.gailcarriger.com/contact It's only once a month with important information about releases. I also use it for give-aways and such.
