AF asked Gail Carriger:

Is Alexia bisexual? I've wondered about her reactions and thoughts when interacting with Madame Lefoux. Also, I wanted to say thank you for writing such great, fun series. I've adored everything you've written so far. Being a history major and having an affinity for the paranormal, you could say it's my cup of tea, hee.

Gail Carriger In the modern world, yes I think she would be, but in Victorian times with her upbringing she doesn't have the language or understanding. I think that there is always a small part of her half in love with Madame Lefoux but she could never understand that's what it was, so she never acknowledges it.

It is my very great delight and pleasure to write them for you! I do love readers who dive into history, I feel like there are little cookies inside my books that only you might notice.

All the best,
Miss Gail

Hi Gail, I think you have an incredibly unique style of writing and voice for your characters. I have recently finished reading all of your novels and I am very curious where your inspiration came from - perhaps particular authors or novels? In a similar vein, how do you feel about some of the authors that are attempting to immitate your style?

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?
